Kayotei

Kayotei is a quaint, luxury ryokan located in the peaceful hot spring village of Yamanaka Onsen surrounded by lush gardens and forested hills.

The property champions the local area and grants guests access to an eclectic mix of exclusive experiences with local artisans.

These characters embody the unique spirit of the area, and through a stay at the Kayotei guests can experience living heritage being persevered in real time
