The Shiroyama Terrace Tsuyama Villa
8,9/10 Excellent - Based on 525 reviews
Nestled in the heart of Tsuyama, the Shiroyama Terrace Tsuyama Villa unfolds a design blending Japanese tradition and voluptuous modernity. The subtle play of lighting and natural materials invites introspection, while the hot spring baths and sauna promise a beneficial immersion. The whole reflects a soothing harmony, like a sanctuary where time seems suspended. Between an enchanting garden and relaxing corners, this haven offers true rejuvenation for visitors seeking serenity.
Lined with linen and wood, the rooms are inspired by Japanese hospitality while offering modern comfort. Some reveal a terrace open to a city or green panorama, others are adorned with a luxurious open-air bath. The varied configurations, from Japanese style on minimalist futons to the alliance with Western beds, allow each traveler to find their ideal cocoon in this ryokan in Tsuyama.
Sprinkled with flavors and conviviality, the two on-site restaurants blend the delicacy of Japanese cuisine and the originality of European influences. Their dishes, like works of art, celebrate local ingredients, bringing culinary poetry to every bite. Nearby, gourmets will also discover a wealth of small traditional establishments, perfect for extending the exploration of Tsuyama’s gastronomic wonders.
Japanese Authenticity Evaluation
6/10 Many modern elements coexist with traditional touches, without complete immersion. Meals offer a beautiful presentation but include Western influences. The baths, while present and pleasant, lack unique character. The rooms, comfortable, feature minimalist elements but are partially disconnected from pure Japanese aesthetics.
