THE RYOKAN COLLECTION

The one-bedroom Miyota Suites have windows on the north and south sides, offering expansive views on the little town of Miyota and its surrounding mountains on the latter and up-close views of wildlife flitting through the forest on the former, with binoculars provided for any visiting birders. The open-plan layout creates an airy feel everywhere in the suite, although the bedroom can be partitioned off when needed. The large dining table makes this an ideal choice for young families or others who prefer in-room meals. An open-air balcony and semi-open air hot spring bath offer venues for fresh air relaxation in all seasons. The bedroom has an upgraded organic natural-material Iwata bed from Kyoto.
