Bellissima la stanza tradizionale, in legno, con futon e pareti in carta di riso. Molto buona la cena, con diverse portate. Colazione in stile nipponico (non troverete croissant e cappuccino!). Onsen pulito e rilassante (diviso per uomini e donne).

Prezzo elevato ma giustificato dall’esperienza e dalla storia di questo ryokan.

La vista dalla camera, la cena, l’onsen e il servizio navetta fino al porto

Difficile comunicazione in inglese

Un full immersion nella cultura e nella traditione giapponese semplicemente fantastico!!!

The staff at Iwaso met the standards and the expectations; high class service; the room and the facilities met our expectations or were above our expectations.

The onsen was overheated; people who dare to take place in the bath could not stay for more than a couple of minutes; my spouse did experience the same in the ladies'bath. Hence the onsen-experience at Iwaso was somewhat frustrating. The most frustrating souvenirs at Iwaso however, were related to the Kaiseki; non Japanese people were placed in a separate room (maybe just a organisational coincidence, but frustrating); moreover, having enjoyed several ryokans in other parts of Japan, the Kaiseki was less memorable; a significant notch under experiences in the Hakone region; at Iwaso, we did not enjoy the pinnacle of local haute-cuisine. To summarize: IWASO is a perfect place to enjoy a 5* place as Miyajima but not to enjoy a breathtaking 'Kaiseki-experience'
