Fujiya
Kanagawa prefecture, Japan • Hotel
The Fujiya Ryokan in Yugawara-machi is an incomparable lodging for enjoying the cherry blossoms in spring. By staying in the newly renovated executive rooms designed to face the garden, you can monopolize the cherry blossom festival alone. Waking up to the chirping of birds and the cool sound of a waterfall is an unparalleled experience. Just about an hour and a half by train from Tokyo Station, Yugawara has been a beloved hot spring resort from ancient times. Despite being particularly busy during the holiday season, Fujiya is one of the few ryokans that offer reasonable prices for accommodation even during the peak cherry blossom season of March-April. The guestrooms in the new wing have been recently refurbished, providing hotel-quality cleanliness while offering the quintessential ryokan service. Although visiting in winter has its own charm, it's especially recommended to visit during the cherry blossom season. How about entrusting your mobile phone to the hotel reception and trying a digital detox amidst nature?
