Mein Aufenthalt im Hanagokoro war wunderbar. Der modernistische Einrichtung in den öffentlichen Bereichen erstellt eine tolle Atmosphäre, die Zimmer waren sehr schön, das Personal war äußerst aufmerksam, und das Essen war das beste, das ich in Japan hatte sie verwendet hätten. Das größte Highlight, allerdings war das privates Onsen (Bad). Diese sind durch einen gemeinsamen Flur, jedoch jedes Bad ist völlig privat (in einer Holzhütte-Stil Struktur)zu erreichen . Die Bäder sind wunderschön eingerichtet (viel Holz und niedrigen Niveau warme Beleuchtung). Ferner haben wir uns für eine Massage bekommen in unserem Zimmer. Dies war auch fantastisch. Die Massage ist voll bekleidet - das tragen der Yukatas (zwanglos Kimono) haben die Gäste zu allen Zeiten tragen erwartet sind um das Hotel erhielt. Ich kann dieses Hotel nur empfehlen. Allerdings ist dies nicht der Ort für diejenigen, die gerne völlige Anonymität - dies ist ein 'Ryokan' Stil Hotel ist, wo das Niveau des Service ist sehr hoch und aufmerksam.

“Huge room with a great view”

The room was huge and had a great view. I also really liked that each room had an assigned private onsen, which is not the case for the other ryokans. The service was excellent and the food was amazing, especially the pork boiled in milk broth — I hope they would keep this on the menu FOREVER! I wo… Mehr

“Strong advantages- some disadvantages”

Mixed bag here- but the strong was so strong that I just couldnt go less than Very Good. Let's start with the weaknesses: The decor is 1960's though everything is absolutely immaculate There are only 8 rooms, so if you're looking for an ambiance, let alone a vibe- forget it- there is none BUT it's… Mehr

Mixed bag here- but the strong was so strong that I just couldnt go less than Very Good. Let's start with the weaknesses: The decor is 1960's though everything is absolutely immaculate There are only 8 rooms, so if you're looking for an ambiance, let alone a vibe- forget it- there is none BUT it's peaceful. The private baths are not 'in room' and require you to go down to another part of the Ryokan While the rooms are very traditional Ryokan style, the overall architecture pulls you back into the 60's....which is particular. Wifi only in the lobby- free, but lobby only was not ideal. The owner is in her 70's and though we just loved her total commitment to making us happy, there were many moments where she just monopolized our meal and hijacked all the discussion as she was busy explaining each dish in our Kaiseiki meals- we simply could never get the flow our conversation going as she just kept interrupting!! This is due to the fact that we were the age of her kids/grandkids AND that several of us didnt speak Japanese (though one did)- she was just being affectionate and motherly. However, at $800USD a night, no matter what the reason, I expect to be left in peace to enjoy my meals. I can ask if I REALLY want to know what is every last dish- but again, what am I to do? Be unpleasant to this super nice lady? This really left a bit of a mark on our stay unfortunately. Now the advantages: Wonderful views of the area from the restaurant OUTSTANDING Kaiseiki meals- really world class quality...such inventiveness and creativity blended with aesthetics was striking- all of us where floored. Wonderful private Onsen for each room with lovely different tubs in every private cabana- plus a 'sauna' room with a warm stone bed. Windows open wide into the valley and you really can take your bath in peace....just great. Peaceful and discreet ambiance- almost like a modern day monastery. Lovely color co-ordinated Yukata for him and her just added to the overal esthetic. Though 60's the architecture lends itself well to the multi level/discreet ambiance we found so relaxing. It cannot be overstated how charming everyone was at this Ryokan- really lovely people. Would recommend and for the meals & private onsen WARMLY recommend.
