"A family-run ryokan dating to 1494 in the hot-spring town of Shuzenji, this intimate 12-room inn offers traditional tatami rooms overlooking a pond, bamboo forest, and a historic Noh stage. Guests dine in-room in yukata on seasonal kaiseki—dishes might include black rice sushi with anago eel, corn tempura, and locally grown muskmelon—and every room has a private onsen bath (Western-style beds available on request)." - Yukari Sakamoto, Adam H.
