Residence Yasushi
9,3/10 Exceptional - Based on 240 reviews
Residence Yasushi embodies an elegant fusion of tradition and modernity in the heart of Nozawa Onsen. This haven of serenity offers a unique sensory immersion through its hot spring baths and public bath, perfect for savoring the ancestral virtues of Japanese thermal waters. Body massage, absolute relaxation, and minimalist decor mark an experience where every corner breathes contemporary elegance, enhancing the essence of a ryokan in Nozawa Onsen.
Boasting bright spaces, its rooms exalt a sleek design, subtly blending modern furniture with Japanese accents. Whether it’s traditional futons or cozy beds, each space embodies an intimate cocoon, with high-tech amenities such as flat screens and streaming services, paired with windows offering a soothing view of the mountains or village. Noble materials, golden touches, and uncompromising comfort invite complete relaxation.
A tribute to the taste buds, the on-site restaurant, Gochisou, offers Australian cuisine revisited under a contemporary light with vegetarian and gluten-free options. Travelers are also just steps away from local cafes and restaurants where they can savor traditional or modern flavors. Between gastronomic immersion and local exploration, the culinary richness of this setting inspires wonder in all its forms.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
5/10 The whole presents a discreet blend of modernity and traditional touches, but lacks depth in the integration of authentic Japanese codes. The rooms remain comfortable but moderate in immersion. The culinary and onsen experience seem to lack distinctive refinement to capture a typical atmosphere of a traditional ryokan.
