The unspoiled charm of onsen town Jozankei, Japan - SilverKris

"A design-forward 14-room ryokan that channels Japanese minimalism and contemporary hospitality, featuring a restaurant centered on a large open kitchen led by chef Natsume Tomohiro. As a sister property within a larger ryokan group, the inn emphasizes spring-water quality—drawing on multiple hot springs and technical monitoring—while offering pared-back rooms and select private outdoor onsens aimed at younger, design-conscious travelers seeking both tranquility and modern culinary experiences." - Claire Knox
