MIYAKOWASURE
Miyakowasure takes its name from the richly colored purple tea flowers that bloom in the garden located in the center of the ryokan.
This is the perfect place to stay if you’re looking for relaxation plus luxury.
With a majority of rooms housing their own private onsen, complete with a view overlooking a still lake, there is no need to leave your private space except to escape for a delicious meal in the dining area.
Sample a flight of local nihonshu with a multi-course dinner made from Akita’s fresh local ingredients, and enjoy Miyakowasure’s hearty breakfast, served in multiple courses along with a selection of fresh fruit, vegetables and yogurt.
If you do decide you’d like a change of scenery, Miyakowasure has men’s and women’s baths in an indoor setting, as well as a private outdoor bath.
The baths contain sulfur in two different temperatures and at two different intensities.
For those who prefer a bed over a futon, Western style rooms are available in addition to the traditional, Japanese-style rooms.
The rooms wrap around the central garden, where guests can enjoy a peaceful walk or rest on the benches and tables arranged around the carefully crafted space.
