    Our stay at Zen no Yu was a real highlight of our time in Japan. We had the kaiseki dinner the evening of our arrival and the breakfast in the morning. Both were excellent! Starting with reception, the whole experience of the inn, from the temple...

    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。

    在日本遊遍各種飲食和住宿之間,保著忐忑不安的心情來到這家,大概是二週旅行中,最令人難忘的一站,因為這家是那麼的獨特。這家空間不大,但是正因為不大,所以,和飯店的工作人員有緊密接觸,也感到真誠的服務無所不在。 飲食真得非常高度推薦,老實說,我都覺得很納悶這麼清爽的口感,如何能夠蘊含著豐富地層次?!不管晚餐或早餐都可以感受到精心的料理設計。多希望能再有機會好好地品嚐與研究這裡的料理。 我大約是中午時分到達,就寄放行李,以便前往河津七瀧,公車站就在門前,相當地便利。由於踏走七瀧的河谷規劃實在...

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.
