Nayoro Onsen Sunpillar
7,1/10 Very Good - Based on 24 reviews
A true haven of peace nestled in the heart of the peaceful nature of Hokkaidō, this ryokan in Nayoro invites a reconnection with oneself. The architecture, both simple and welcoming, harmoniously blends with the surrounding landscape. The wellness center, equipped with a sauna, a hot spring bath, and a soothing public space, offers a refuge for the body and mind. Here, every moment is an opportunity to detach from the hustle and bustle of daily life, enveloped in an atmosphere that inspires serenity.
Spacious and bright, the rooms are a celebration of Japanese minimalist elegance. Whether you opt for traditional futons or modern beds, each space guarantees comfort and tranquility. The decoration, pure and soft, allows your mind to escape, while modern amenities ensure a stay without compromise. With well-maintained shared bathrooms, every detail contributes to the warm and authentic experience of this ryokan.
Wrapped in the delicate aroma of local dishes, the ryokan’s restaurant enchants the senses with refined cuisine, revealing the deep flavors of the region. To vary the pleasures, charming and rustic cafes, like those located a few kilometers away, add a friendly and original dimension to the culinary experience. Each meal, whether taken on-site or nearby, becomes a celebration of Hokkaidō’s traditions and its unique gastronomy.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
4/10 A true compromise between modernity and tradition, this ryokan offers a decent experience without being totally immersive. The rooms and the onsen lack marked authenticity, while the cuisine is satisfactory but does not reach the elegance of a true kaiseki. A more pronounced local touch would enhance the whole.
