水鞠-mizumari-（旧称 旬彩つりばし） — Hotel in Kawadu

Our stay at mizumari was incredible. The ryokan is situated along the Kawazu Seven Waterfall, and a 20-25 min bus ride from Kawazu station. The setting and decoration were elegant, calm and clean. We really enjoyed the complimentary snack corner that offered a variety of snacks and drinks. The courtyard was a serene zen garden. The breakfast and kaiseki dinner were sumptuous and luxurious, bringing out the flavours of local produce such as the kinmedai, wasabi, strawberries and oranges. The outdoor private onsen in our room was amazing and scenic, alongside the river stream. Most importantly, the staff were extremely hospitable and sincere. There were staff who are able to speak English and they were all extremely warm and welcoming despite us being unable to converse in Japanese. Even staff who were less well versed in English communicated clearly and warmly with translator. They made sure we had a wonderful stay and went above and beyond. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at mizumari and would recommend it!!

Around the ryokan, there were places worth sightseeing as well such as the Kawazu waterfall scenic and calm hike and a Sakura matsuri at...

This was my second stay at this ryokan. It was once again a pampered utterly relaxing experience. To relax in one of the two hot-spring fed onsen on your own private deck overlooking a rushing mountain stream is to clear your mind and body of its stresses and problems. The grounds and structures around the ryokan have been there for centuries and you see that in the stonework and old wooden bridges, among other things. The hosts are accommodating without at any point intruding on your enjoyment. And the astonishing array of seafood that you are presented with at dinner and again at breakfast is beyond description....
