A.I.R. Myoko
A.I.R. Myoko is a boutique hotel that has been lovingly restored. AIR Myoko combines some the aesthetics of a traditional Japanese ryokan and private onsen baths, along with western conveniences and comforts such as western beds (that are a little off the floor), western style dining room, communal lounge, and English speaking staff.
A.I.R. has a strong emphasis on cuisine which is fully vegan, with plant-based breakfasts and the option of a magnificent degustation dinner with wine pairing.
A.I.R (Artist in Residence) features lots of beautiful hand crafted Japanese cedar furniture, art works and pottery.
