8,8/10 Excellent - Based on 305 reviews
A haven of peace nestled by the sea, the XYZ Private Spa and Seaside Resort offers an intimate and refined atmosphere, where serenity harmoniously blends with Japanese elegance. The idyllic setting, facing the ocean, invites relaxation, enhanced by the comfort of open-air thermal baths and the tranquility of the private beach. Wellness services, such as massages and the onsen, add a touch of luxury, making this ryokan in Shirahama a sanctuary dedicated to the rest of the mind and body.
Spacious and carefully arranged, the rooms embody Japanese sophistication while integrating modern amenities. They offer a breathtaking view of the ocean thanks to the electronic sliding partition that reveals stunning landscapes. Some rooms are equipped with private outdoor jacuzzis, ideal for savoring a moment of escape in an enchanting setting. The furniture, combined with the elegance of traditional futons, ensures absolute comfort, making each stay a unique experience.
Two on-site restaurants delight palates with authentic Japanese specialties, in a modern seaside ambiance. For lovers of local gastronomy, renowned establishments such as Marukawa or Kaisei Sushi Toretore Ichiba, located nearby, allow for a vibrant culinary exploration. Whether you enjoy a gourmet dinner in the enchanting setting of the ryokan or explore local flavors, each meal is an ode to Japanese cuisine.
Evaluation of Japanese Authenticity
6/10 A beautiful establishment with a charming view, but Japanese authenticity is partially present. The baths are well-designed and attractive, but the architecture combines modernism with a few traditional elements. The cuisine seems diverse but lacks typically Japanese refinement, and the room decor somewhat strays from the classic style.
