Przysłowie : Kto Nie Rad

Luxury Ryokan Sora

Let our tour of luxury ryokan in Japan.

This weekend, it has Izu that I visited, Shuzenji more precisely, a small town's favorite former president Chirac and only place in Japan or perhaps you'll see pictures of Bernadette shirt accompanying Jacques and her fan at the local store!

More seriously, if Shuzenji is so popular, not only for the city and its temples and other small shops kawaii, but also for the wonderful ryokan Asaba and no doubt, for his neighbor that I want you talk about today: Sora.

Ideally located just a top of a mini hill, if the building is not worth Asaba, the entrance of Sora is no less impressive.

A nice garden with a carp pond greets visitors.
staff is as it should in Japan: pleasant and considerate. A welcome

juice will be served before you take to your room, spacious and uncluttered.

Nevertheless, you will not miss anything: bathroom with bath overlooking the valley and toilet in the room of course, big screen TV, what the basics.


Turning to the reason that brings us here: the bathroom. No less

of 4 different types of baths here, including one for which Sora is known: the bright rotenburo, my faith very nice night.

the most beautiful baths are not super roomy but we do not work either.


Nevertheless, it is the coolest private baths: well insulated, large and hair cell facing the valley.

A test must if you go there.

Grace that I get out again this weekend with legs that Bastien Gonzalez can not deny I'm the nights of 12 hours (unless it is the alcohol last night ca, am not yet sure) .

short, onsen keep their promises.

Second highlight of the stay: gastronomy.

Since we are not far from the sea, the cuisine is primarily marine.

They are as they should be of a fineness and sophistication incomparee off kaiseki cuisine, but most importantly, they do not stop ... so I cry mercy three courses before dessert.

Quite simply, the menu is by far the longest I had ever seen.

And for those who are afraid of being bored in the evening, there is a masseuse (I've tested my first Lomi Lomi, a Hawaiian massage vigorous very amusing) and even the possibility of bringing geisha for the modest the sum of 24,000 yen 2 hours or a "companion" (someone explain the meaning of this term, I'm afraid to misunderstand) for less than 20,000 yen.

One thing is sure: the hours they spin at high speed in such a framework.

Ah yes, I almost forgot: the price? Ah, I am fortunate to have generous friends so I can not tell you (do not imagine anything eh, friends have said, not a friend, rhoooooooo) but anyway when you love the onsen, we do not count.
