The Best Hotels Near L'atelier ABE, by the Record
-
A lakeside ryokan in Kochi where the audiophile-grade sound system gets the same thoughtful attention as the natural hot spring onsen. Rooms are sparse and uncluttered, framing the greenery outside like a considered composition, and the kitchen runs on freshly harvested local ingredients. The whole place orbits a single idea about living naturally, taken more seriously here than that word usually warrants.
