“Sasayuri struck me as a particularly welcoming place to land, not least for its friendly on-site team and handy shuttle service from Hongu. I especially like that beyond the expected thermal baths, families are well-catered for, even down to vegetarian options at the excellent kaiseki-style meals. Overall, it feels like a thoughtful blend of traditional ryokan hospitality and easy access to the area's natural and cultural riches.”
