Ooedo Onsen Monogatari Premium Shirahama Gyoen
8,0/10 Excellent - Based on 266 reviews
This ryokan in Shirahama pierces the skies with its modernity intertwining harmoniously with Japanese traditions. From the entrance, a subtle marriage of elegantly varnished wood and soft lighting immerses visitors in a calming atmosphere. The common areas, enhanced by an enchanting garden and an open-air hot spring, call for serenity. After soaking in the benefits of a geothermally beneficial onsen, the sauna completes an immersive wellness experience.
Spacious and designed to meet all desires, the rooms of this establishment come in a variety of styles. Fans of refinement will choose the traditional Japanese rooms, adorned with tatamis and equipped with futons, while modern rooms offer Western comfort. Some open onto a captivating view of the bay, where the horizon seems to whisper the secrets of the ocean. These spaces are a perfect haven for families and travelers seeking privacy.
A true culinary temple, the on-site restaurant offers a symphony of flavors enhanced by local ingredients. Delicately sculpted sushi, comforting ramen, and fresh seafood vie for the palate’s honors. Nearby, establishments such as Fisherman’s Wharf extend the gustatory discovery and embody the gastronomic richness of Shirahama. Between heritage, comfort, and indulgence, this ryokan makes every stay an unforgettable immersion.
