    夕食は個室で、静かにゆっくりいただくことができた。 また、スリッパを履いて移動することがなく、煩わしさがなかった。

    今回2回目ですが、今回も夕食朝食ともにとてもよかった。地元で採れたもので手作りされていて、お料理に工夫もみられました。女将さんの作った梅酒は絶品!岩盤浴のスペースが広く気持ちよかったです。施設内もお部屋も清潔で快適でした。

Zen No Yu is a rare guest house where you will find an authentic shinto shrine, thermal bath or "Onsen" as we call it in Japan and elegant yet cosy rooms.
Our "special" is simple. We propose meditation and yoga classes for free to all our customers. We do this because sharing and discoveries are important for us. The use of "Onsen" is also free of course.
Kawazu is one of those beautiful places where ocean meet the mountains. It is a peaceful place where you can do a lot of outdoor activities.
