Taishoya

This was a three-generation trip to celebrate longevity. I was excited to stay in a property designed by Junzo Yoshimura. In the lounge on the afternoon of our arrival, sunlight filtered through the trees, making it feel as if we were in a forest (the garden can’t be that large—perhaps this is part of the brilliance of the design). The ikebana arrangements, hanging scrolls, and seasonal Hina doll display were beautifully presented, and the garden view was wonderful, adding to the celebratory mood. My only concern was that it was fully booked for the weekend, but it never felt noisy at all, and the impeccably clean baths were almost always private. During our meal in a private dining room, we received truly heartfelt hospitality, making this a trip to remember. Thank you very much. Everything deserves more than five stars. We would love to return.

Every year, we visit various Onsen Ryokan, and Taishoya truly felt like the quintessential Onsen Ryokan.It was a traditional Ryokan in the best possible way, and we could really feel the hospitality.At a time when eco-friendly and minimalist Accommodation are becoming the norm, we were able to enjoy an exceptional trip.Even though we only mentioned that we were staying to celebrate a 70th birthday, they prepared several surprises for us, which made us genuinely happy.It’s an Accommodation our family agreed we’d love to return to for our next celebration!!
