"It doesn’t get more pristinely, stupendously natural than Ryotei Hanzuiryo, a 14-villa affair on the very slopes of Mount Unzen, near Nagasaki. Ancient forests and evocative gardens share its acreage in the very best of ryokan-style hospitality, including their own historic onsen hot springs and traditional architecture in the Sukiya-zukuri style. Exceedingly private, freestanding villas channel the rural Japan of yesteryear with tatami flooring, exquisite lacquerware, and garden views through windows framed by delicate paper screens." - Tablet Hotels
