Takachiho Ryokan Shinsen

Ryokan Shinsen is an intimate luxury ryokan in Takachiho, combining traditional Japanese hospitality with individually designed rooms and private garden settings. Each room has its own character, incorporating Japanese art, ceramics and local craftsmanship, while many feature terraces and private open-air baths overlooking carefully landscaped gardens. Dining is an important part of the stay, with traditional Japanese breakfasts and multi-course dinners served using seasonal ingredients. The ryokan also incorporates details connected to Takachiho’s culture, including the shimenawa ropes displayed above its entrances throughout the year, a local tradition associated with purity and prosperity. Takachiho Shrine is around a six-minute walk away, making Shinsen particularly well placed for exploring the town, Takachiho Gorge and the wider area while experiencing the personalised service and slower pace of a traditional ryokan stay.
