Kinnotake Sengokuhara recensioner

I’ve been lucky enough to stay at this resort twice, most recently last week and I’m already dreaming of my return! I’ve stayed in many luxury resorts in Japan but this is my favourite so far. Everything about this ryokan is absolutely stunning & it’s perfect for those who are looking for the utmost privacy, and a feeling of luxury & exclusivity for a special occasion. This time I stayed in the room called Hime (Princess) & I really felt like one during my stay! The view from the balcony was so beautiful, a bamboo forest where you can hear the cute sounds of the little green frogs. With the name Kinnotake (Golden Bamboo), the hotel’s theme is based around the Japanese story Taketori Monogatari (tale of the bamboo cutter) so you can see plenty of bamboo touches in your room. It was more like a suite with several rooms so there was plenty of space, the bed was so comfy and i loved that not only did we have our own private onsen & sun deck but there was also a huge inside bath too! The meals are served in your room which I love as its more private - you can wear the comfortable yukata the ryokan provides (& don’t worry it’s separate to your bedroom so the room won’t smell of food after). Eating ise-ebi sashimi & then having ise-ebi in miso soup for breakfast was a true highlight for me, along with the sweet & tender amadai fish as these are not common to eat! You can also decide to have your dessert served at the bar which we did so we could relax with a cocktail near the bamboo forest & pond too! It was truly a dream experience & I think it’s perfect for those celebrating a special occasion. Highly highly recommend if you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime stay when in Japan, it won’t disappoint!
