Kissho CAREN

Amazing ryokan experience. Staff went over and above to cater to every need. The accommodation was comfortable sleeping on futons on tatami mats. The beautiful robes they provided made us feel at home. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. They even provided us bento boxes for lunch. View of the ocean outstanding and the hot springs wonderful. We’ll be back!

This was the most beautiful onsen I have ever seen in my life. I've never seen such a beautiful place in my entire life. It was like tasting heaven for a weekend.

Pros: - Shuttle bus will pick you up at the train station and also take you to sister property - The staff is amazing, they go above and beyond for you. - It's a ryokan - They have onsens - Gives you access to sister property - Breakfast and dinner were included - They gave you bento boxes for lunch - Delicious food at the Four Seasons restaurant - Fantastic spa (we got massages and they were awesome!) - They have yukatas for you to wear. - They cater to vegetarians. My husband eats anything, I'm a bit picky and told them I wanted a vegetarian meal. They were able to work with that and I had just a great a meal as my husband at the Four Seasons. - The staff does a turn down service for you where they will set up the beds while you're at dinner. And then put them away when you're eating breakfast. Cons: - Everything seemed to shut down from 11AM-2PM - no shuttle bus, no access to onsen, no food, not sure what you're supposed to do during that time. We ended up hanging out in our room. - They did have some staff members especially at the restaurant that speak English but it was very limited. What we concluded was we don't think a lot of non-Japanese tourist go to this hotel, which made it even more special for us. They were extremely accommodating and we would definitely go again!
