The Best Luxury Ryokans to Book in Japan

with Japan Royal Service

What You Can Expect at Japan’s Best Luxury Ryokans

Top 5 Best Luxury Ryokans in Japan for 2025

1

BETTEI SENJUAN (MINAKAMI, GUNMA)

Tucked into the serene Tanigawa mountain range, Bettei Senjuan stands as one of Japan’s best luxury ryokans. Fusing architectural minimalism with nature’s healing calm, each suite offers a private open-air rotenburo and sweeping alpine views. Guests indulge in multi-course seasonal kaiseki crafted from regional ingredients, perfectly paired with fine wines. Revered by royalty and global A-listers, this sanctuary redefines discreet luxury and bespoke hospitality.

2

GÔRA KADAN (HAKONE, KANAGAWA)

Formerly a summer retreat for the Imperial family, Gôra Kadan is widely regarded as one of Japan’s best luxury ryokans. Blending timeless tatami traditions with sleek modern design, each room offers a harmonious balance of heritage and sophistication. Guests enjoy private hot springs, manicured gardens, and impeccable service—including personal butlers and in-room spa treatments that elevate every stay into an elite wellness experience.

3

KAYOTEI (YAMANAKA ONSEN, ISHIKAWA)

Tucked within ancient cedar forests, Kayotei is a 10-suite sanctuary that offers an intimate, artisan-crafted ryokan experience. Each suite is uniquely styled with antiques and panoramic garden views, immersing guests in timeless elegance. Through collaborations with local masters—lacquerware artists, papermakers, and culinary experts—Kayotei delivers a deeply personal connection to Japanese tradition, making it a true contender for Japan’s best luxury ryokan.

4

HOSHINOYA KYOTO (KYOTO PREFECTURE)

Accessible only by private riverboat, this riverside sanctuary offers a secluded escape into Zen-inspired refinement. As one of Japan’s best luxury ryokans, Hoshinoya Kyoto surrounds guests with the hush of the Hozugawa River, cypress-scented air, and minimalist elegance. Each suite blends traditional design with serene modernity, while Kyoto’s finest seasonal cuisine is artfully reimagined for the elite traveler.

5

RYOKAN KURASHIKI (OKAYAMA PREFECTURE)

Located in the beautifully preserved Bikan Historical Quarter, this ryokan offers a journey into Edo-period elegance and cultural immersion. With just a few exclusive suites, it ensures complete seclusion and quiet sophistication. Guests enjoy hyper-seasonal cuisine, antique décor, and storytelling rooted in samurai tradition—an experience that firmly places Ryokan Kurashiki among Japan’s best luxury ryokan.
