[2025/6/5] | Guest from the UK |Kyoto to Okinawa: Discovering Nakatsugawa’s Harmony of History and Nature Along the Way

During their journey across Japan, our guest from London stopped by The RYOKAN O before continuing on to Kyoto and Okinawa. With eyes sparkling in anticipation, they spoke of their upcoming diving adventure in Okinawa’s crystal-clear waters.

For travelers who, like them, love to immerse themselves in rich natural environments, Nakatsugawa offers its own kind of wonder — green mountains, clear rivers, and a gentle pace that soothes the heart. Seeing their smile as they enjoyed the calm here reminded us once again why this place is so special.

We look forward to welcoming many more nature lovers from all over the world to experience Nakatsugawa’s beauty.
