Yunokaze HAZU
7,5/10 Very Good - Based on 26 reviews
Offering a complete immersion in the soothing nature of Shinshiro, Yunokaze HAZU exudes a unique serenity. On the edge of a sparkling river and surrounded by lush vegetation, this ryokan in Shinshiro invites relaxation with its hot spring baths, including an open-air one, to enjoy the benefits of thermal water while admiring tranquil landscapes. In this cocoon, every gesture seems designed for your well-being, from the warm welcome to the pure atmosphere of the common areas.
Like a haven of peace, the rooms combine traditional elegance with modern comfort. Whether with typical futon beds or Western-style beds, each accommodation offers a captivating view of the river or the surrounding gardens, creating a harmonious continuity between interior and exterior. Some rooms also offer a lounge area, perfect for enjoying a moment of calm. Free Wi-Fi completes the experience, inviting a subtle balance between disconnection and modernity.
Gastronomy and discovery are also on the agenda thanks to the hotel’s restaurant. Offering a subtle fusion between Japanese and American cuisine, the Nagisa restaurant delights the senses with every dish. And if the urge to explore pushes you beyond, a few charming cafes and restaurants, nestled in the surrounding mountains, add local and picturesque touches to your stay. A perfect balance between refinement and simplicity to be fully savored.
Japanese Authenticity Rating
7/10 There is a charming atmosphere blending modernity and tradition. The rooms offer an authentic Japanese experience with tatamis and natural views, and the well-integrated baths add to the immersion. The architectural mix remains quirky in places, but the sublime natural setting more than compensates for this weakness.
