JIJIJIN Matsuyama (Tobe, Ehime Prefecture)  Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"The Japanese auberge tradition, with its European inspiration, is emerging as an alternative to the home-grown and historic ryokan experience. JIJIJIN Matsuyama is exemplary: set on a picturesque plot of lakeside land near Matsuyama, this luxury inn is almost Alpine in its architecture, and features a cuisine that’s an artful hybrid of French and Japanese elements. Its 10 rooms and suites are modern-minimalist in their decoration and invite contemplation of the natural setting, while a European-style spa, rather than an onsen-style hot spring, provides additional restoration. The Tobe region is well known for its pottery, and the restaurant table is a showcase for Tobe ceramics." - Tablet Hotels
