Lamp no Yado Aoni Onsen

This Gorgeous Japanese Inn Is an Off-the-grid Paradise — With No Electricity, Wi-Fi, or Phone Service

"Lamp no Yado stood out to me, as compared to other onsen ryokans, because it feels completely isolated — there is no electricity, phone signal, or Wi-Fi on the property. With massive winter snowfalls and the biting cold, this may appear to be a problem, but the ryokan mitigates this by getting each room its own kerosene space heater and an oil lamp for light. It’s a no-frills place, where guests are expected to set up their own futons and use wooden buckets to shower." - Chehui Peh
