Ryokan. Akihiko Seki
slow life’s pace. With each stone comes a fresh perspective. Treasuring a moment, a view, a taste, a sensation is what this old-world weekend retreat, Kona Besso, is all about.
For hundreds of years the hot springs in this area of the Izu Peninsula, south of Mount Fuji, have attracted big-city dwellers seeking a cosseting and a release from day-to-day striving. Kona Onsen was founded 1,300 years ago and eventually combined with the waters of Nagaoka Onsen to create the source that now feeds Izu-Nagaoka, a small onsen town of 15,000 people.
In the late 1930s, Kona Besso was built as the second home of a Tokyo entrepreneur. It is set in a quiet residential area, about oneand-a-half hours from Tokyo by Shinkansen and then car ride from Mishima Station. To this day Kona Besso gives the comforting feeling that one is entering a private domain.
