bankokuya  

On Japan’s Sea of Japan coast in Atsumi, Tsuruoka — a historic ryokan with coastal views and classic hospitality. About 8 minutes by car from Atsumi Road Station and within easy driving distance of Yura Port, Yura Beach and Shonai Airport.

This 300‑year‑old ryokan blends tradition with comfort — think a skywalk that leads to the public bath and an open‑air onsen with stunning year‑round scenery. Rooms are air‑conditioned and come with comforts like bathrobes, slippers, TVs, separate bathtubs and showers, safes and electric kettles, plus the warm, heartfelt service the property is known for.

Soak in hot springs and the open‑air bath, unwind in the spa, sauna or massage rooms, then hit the bar or restaurant for local flavors. Onsite fun includes karaoke and table tennis, while communal lounges, gift shops, vending machines and free self‑parking add practical perks.

Complimentary wireless internet is available across the property. Practical touches include an elevator, free self‑parking and a complimentary roundtrip airport shuttle.

Savor exquisite meals focused on fresh catches from the Sea of Japan — authentic local cuisine served in the on‑site restaurant, with a bar for after‑dinner drinks.
