Monjusou Shourotei

Monjusou Shourotei is one of the best ryokans that we have been to. Secluded location but steps away from the Amanohashidate town area, warm traditional Japanese service, quintessential Japanese style rooms that is very modern and everything feels high quality and well taken care of, fantastic private and public onsen and great food.

From arrival to departure we were treated with kindness and warmth. The staff, ever helpful, gave space and privacy that cultivated a truly rejuvenating experience. Nestled at the end of a beautifully curated peninsula, it’s not an understatement to call Shourotei an oasis in one of Japans already top 3 most beautiful areas. The bathroom and sliding doors allowed for a private and intimate experience, to bathe and hear the ocean lapping outside. The food was delicious and filling. The breakfast specifically was a wonderful start to the day. The large baths immaculately clean, and beautiful in their presentation, allowed for a traditional onsen experience. Modern luxuries, like A/C, stocked refrigerator, and nespresso coffee maker were provided and complimented the overall subtle elegance from this space. We fully plan to visit and book this ryokan again. A truly wonderful, and unforgettable experience.

This is a truly magical place. The time stands still while you enjoy every detail of the traditional room design and the beauty of the japanese garden with the quite Asoumi sea in the background. Together with the peaceful atmosphere around Amanohashidate the stay brings a deep rest to your soul.

Amazing 5 star ryokan with top notch service. Lots of privacy! Smart TV in the room with Netflix was a surprise bonus! We love the tatami mat room with the beautiful and calming view of the river. Onsen is lovely, especially the outdoor onsen. Dinner's ( we had 3 dinners) quality & variety are commendable .

Excellent location. Make sure to follow that narrow road next to the entrance of the temple. It is next to the tourist boat pier, and depending on your room you might be facing the Amanohashidate. Great staff and hospitality as always. Nice room which were recently renovated. Overall a great experience even for foreigners.

The garden and ryokan are beautiful. The hosts were so attentive and gracious. Lovely onsen and cosmetics. Charming reading room. The food was wonderful - regional food specialties - bream, mackerel, Spanish mackerel, flounder, prawns, tiny shrimp (grilled, smoked and fresh) and pine juice. A beautiful garden. Truly enjoyed this experience.
