10/10 Exceptional

This is the hidden gem hotel in kinugawa area that I don't want to advertise to many non-Japanese tourists. I booked the biggest rooms on the top floor with open air bath tubs, and the experience was divine. Because six of us were here, hotel staffs offered private dining room for 6, and hospitality was the most top tier professional experience that I give massive applause to all the staffs. If I revisit Kinugawa, this hotel is my top priority spot.

This hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were clean, and the staff was both amazing and incredibly helpful. I also thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hiking trails that bordered the river.

10/10 Exceptional

Such a neat hotel nestled besides a picturesque river. The hotel feels nostalgic but very well maintained. The entire surrounding community is a throwback Show era town. Helpful staff at the reception desk and restaurant. Breakfast and lunch rotated between 2 menus but options were plentiful. This is my second visit to this hotel and it is in such a convenient location. Be sure to explore the Kinugawaonsen station and surrounding reservoirs and rural communities.

Had our own onsen in our suite. Kaiseki breakfast and dinner was excellent along with friendly staff. Location right next to suspension bridge, excellent coffee across the street at Luna. We rented a car, hotel had free parking across the street.

The room was good, tatami a bit smelly, we had other tatami/rooms on our roadtrip but they were ok, restaurant a bit underquality in relation to the advertise
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome ryokan located in a super cool spot in Kinugawa. Our room was large and had a great view of the suspension bridge going over the river. The room smelled like hay but I think that was from the new tatami mats in our room, which for that reason I don’t mind. Hotel is old but extremely clean and well-maintained. Onsen is great and there are also private baths available for rental. This is my second time staying here and I would 100% stay again in the future.

Lovely ryokan surround by mountains.

Very nice hotel, great location, surrounded by beautiful mountains. Nice private onsen, book able for 45 min, for a reasonable price. Lovely buffet dinner with lots of top quality fish and meat for reasonable price.

Great place with onsen. Nice view and area. The kaiseki dinner was not great, recommend them to increase the quality of the food and decrease the quantity
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Room little dated but extremely spacious, and very clean. Only comment is lack of USB port. Buffet was adequate but missing the ‘wow’ factor. Property was little far from train station, I think it would be much convenient if the shuttle will bring guess back to hotel instead of just one way to the train station.

I want to start this review off by saying, I WILL be back. My stay at this hotel was almost dreamlike. It's something that I don't want to forget. The room was prepared perfectly, and the service was a 10/10. The breakfasts dinners that were prepared were unique and delicious all around. The staff was kind. I think this hotel and the surrounding town were the perfect getaway from the fast city life. It really gave me time to relax

Lovely place to stay

Very friendly and helpful staff who spoke English well! Lots of amenities and loved the private onsens. The building was a little outdated and the air conditioner didnt work well so we couldnt get rid of the slight smell the room had. Overall with their breakfasts and views too, I'd come back.

The staff was good. Check in was easy. We loved the traditional Japanese room. It was large and the views were incredible. Location was just what we were looking for. It is an older hotel and the bathroom smelled a bit old. We would return!
