We stayed two nights in Kakukan room with a private semi open-air bath with a half-board meal plan. Really enjoyed the stay; will go back again. Staff & Service: Incredible hospitality. Everyone spoke excellent English; we hardly had to use our Google Translate app at all! Room & Bath: Very spacious and well-proportioned. The vanity area is massive, with room for two chairs and a coffee table. The in-room onsen layout is excellent, featuring a safe step outside and a two-tier step inside for easy access. Minor Compliant: 1) The closet is on the opposite side of the room, not attached to the bedroom. 2) The bathroom exhaust fan is linked to the light dimmer control; a standalone fan switch would better manage condensation. 3) Too many light switches without labels. 4) Living room is half tiles and half tatami; I wish the coffee/tea counter on the tile side. Meal: We enjoyed a private dining room for both dinner and breakfast. Executive Chef Osamu-san and his staff were incredibly attentive, explaining each dish beautifully. Thank you, Chef Osamu-san and team! Public Onsen: The historic Kyuan-no-Yu and regular bathhouse are amazing. True to the website, they feel cozy despite the high ceilings. I was lucky enough to enjoy both completely to myself! Bonus: The nearby pond loop trail is fantastic. Do the full hike, then head straight back to the ryokan for a rewarding soak.

Wonderful stay. Impeccable service. Remote but rustically decadent. So relaxing and cozy during our stay between fall and winter. We missed the peak fall leaves but that did not detract from the natural beauty of this area and we still enjoyed the waterfalls of Oirase gorge and the small loop around Tsuta pond greatly. If anything the onsens were even more enjoyable in the cold weather, and we were grateful to have the opportunity to stay in such a historic and well-kept ryokan.

Lovely place. The baths were one of the best we have experienced in Japan. The food experience was fantastic. The staff very nice and helpful. They have staff that can communicate in English which can be a struggle outside of big cities in Japan. Highly recommended it
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Five ryokans spanning 3 prefectures over 8 days in search of classical beauty of fall foliage in Northern Honshu culminated at this place. It's not the most luxurious nor the best amenities, but one word to sum it up: timeless. The onsen facility is old but well maintained, however it is somehow the most memorable. Perhaps the history of this place leaves more impact. It's the most expensive of the other ryokans hence we only stayed for a night, and it's well worth it. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast are very solid, serving local ingredients such as the fish freshly caught from nearby Towada lake. We splurged and picked かつら (room 302) which is larger than the standard rooms. Highly recommended.

산 속에 위치해서 공항에서 운전해서 가기에는 약간의 어려움이 있으나 정말 한적하고 힐링하기 좋은 숙소입니다. 식사는 조식은 부페 타입이고 석식은 정식인데 매일 코스가 달라 인상적이었습니다. 훌륭한 숙소입니다!!!

充分なスタッフがみんなでお世話しようと一生懸命に働いているのが好印象でした。夕飯は丁寧に作られているのは分かりますが、味に関しては努力ほど感じられないので、見た目も大事ですが美味しさに重点を置いた料理を期待します。お風呂は口コミ通り見た目もお湯も良かったです。宿泊者専用駐車場がもう少し近いと良いのにと感じました。宿代に見合ったサービスがされているので満足度が高く、成功している一例だと思いました。
