Nishimuraya Honkan
9,7/10 Exceptional - Based on 189 reviews
Whispering the secrets of a centuries-old tradition, Nishimuraya Honkan unveils a world suspended between reverie and authenticity. In the heart of Toyooka, this ryokan in Toyooka invites you to a sensory immersion where the gentle murmur of onsen meets the serenity of a meticulously orchestrated garden. Here, every moment is an ode to well-being: from the massage chair to the open-air bath, a soothing breath permeates every corner, while the Seigetsuro lounge, a marriage of European elegance and Japanese art, offers a rare space for contemplation.
Under the charm of woven tatami mats and delicately arranged futons, the rooms open windows onto the very essence of Japan. The suites, with views of the gardens or mountains, exude refined intimacy, while some offer the luxury of a private open-air bathtub. In this setting where natural light dances with wooden partitions, time ticks away at the pace of immaculate serenity.
Drifting between traditions and gourmet pleasures, the cuisine stands as a journey in itself. The on-site restaurants fervently celebrate the richness of the terroir: from dinners where Wagyu beef meets fresh crab, to Japanese breakfasts served in the elegant Senrei. A few steps from the ryokan, the streets of Toyooka also reveal captivating establishments, offering a range of local flavors to explore.
