Kensho Ryokan

Kensho Ryokan is a contemporary urban oasis, where delicious fun, creativity & tranquil relaxation exist seamlessly.
A portal to our favorite memories in japan re-creating food, beverage, design & hospitality experiences we love most.
ken (to see) sho (nature) is a buddist zen word that loosely means ‘a moment of enlightenment’ when we see something beautiful, taste something delicious or hear something inspiring we experience a moment of kensho.
our goal is to create a full day of kensho for our guests. We want to share the true omotenashi experience & introduce you to our friends in the neighborhood so that you feel that this is now also your home, your neighborhood, and your staycation family.
