Mizuya

Acommented Hotel that made me want to post a Review for the first time

I had such a wonderful stay that it made me want to leave a Review—even though I usually don’t write them. From the moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by a subtle oriental fragrance, and the refined design still let me feel the history of Miyazu throughout the space. In the guest Room, instead of a TV or clock, there were items like an iron kettle, matcha bowls, and a bamboo whisk—so you can make tea yourself. I also loved seeing books on the display shelf that were clearly selected to suit Miyazu’s local character. In this quiet space, listening to the sound of water coming to a boil, I could lose track of time and truly tune in to my body and mind. Personally, my favorite feature was the loom in the lobby. The staff told me that “as each guest weaves a little at a time, it gradually becomes one piece of fabric.” They even let me pass the weft through twice—I can’t wait to see how it turns out! The contrast between the simple, sophisticated atmosphere and the warmth of the staff—who kindly shared so much about Miyazu—was wonderful. Apparently each Room has different tea utensils and book selections; I’d love to stay in another one next time. I’ll definitely be back in Miyazu!
