KAI Nagato, Japan, hotel review

With rustic ryokan guesthouse comfort at a luxury level, the KAI Nagato dazzles like the river that runs through the heart of its enticingly peaceful spa town

Location

KAI Nagato’s idyllic location overlooking a cherry blossom-lined river is perfect for a zen break in the historical prefecture of Yamaguchi. The hotel has soothing, nature-heavy vistas both inside and out, with its own riverside cafes and terraces. A short drive from the nearest city, Nagato, the property is in the centre of a tiny spa town, Yumoto Onsen, and three hours from the nearest airport, Hiroshima. Guests can walk through the village to visit Buddhist temples, ceramics studios, a craft brewery and a speciality coffee shop.
