Reviews of Negiya Ryofukaku 4 stars

The ryokan showcases a resort away from the hustle and bustle of the town feel, despite it being just a few minutes drive from the station, which is provided for free, and arrives a few minutes after you contact the front desk. You can pick any place in the onsen town for pick up and drop off as well. The meals are essentially an omakase style Japanese feast. And if you are a seafood fan, you will especially like the dinner, as they are present in many courses. Please note that if you do order them, you have to arrive in the dining hall around the appointed time. The onsen has a half bathouse (for the "sliver onsen") and half natural outdoor feel (for the "gold onsen"). During my stay, the onsen wasn't crowded and at times, I could be the only person there.

The electrical outlets are not connected to each other. If you are the type who likes to close every light in the room, you will need to get up and turn off the lights for 3 sections.

The staff are exceptional, they were very accomodating and helpful. The meals were beyond expectation and very delicious.

Nothing, everything was lovely

Amazing room, amazing stuff and amazing food!!! It definitely exceeded my expectations! The stuff was so lovely since the beginning, the dinner was Amazing, the stuff also helped me with the cooking part) I had a room with private outdoor bath, how it was...? Wonderful, definitely recommend it! I could go late at night, early-early in the morning! Will definitely come again here, the Service - TOP!!!

From the moment we arrived, the care and dedication of everyone at Negiya Ryofukaku was clear. The facilities were spotless—every space reflected the pride and effort of the staff in creating a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of onsen experiences offered. Each one was unique and deeply relaxing. If you’re visiting, trying the different baths is an absolute must! The kaiseki dinner was a true delight. Every bite was fresh, flavorful, and thoughtfully composed—nothing overpowering, just beautifully balanced dishes that celebrated the essence of Japanese cuisine. Breakfast was simpler, but equally enjoyable. Each dish was delicious, well-balanced, and the colorful presentation added to the experience. We appreciated the variety offered, which made the meal feel special and nourishing. What made this stay unforgettable was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the front desk to the dining area, every team member made us feel genuinely welcome. Their kindness truly made this first Ryokan experience one that I’ll never forget.

Not applicable

Room was big.

Bed covers were not ironed at all. And we had an issue that we cannot trust them.

Everything! The staff were unbelievably kind and accommodating. The location was tucked away in a mountainside and was very peaceful. Despite being a bit dated inside we appreciated the vintage feel of the place. It was meticulously maintained which is why it is able to retain it’s originality. The meals were amazing and were presented in an unforgettable manner. It was the highlight of our family’s trip to Japan. We were a family of four including 13 & 16 year old boys.

Nothing!

Loved the traditional room and history of the building (including all the pictures around the place).

We would have liked to use the shared onsen, but could not due to tattoos. Perhaps there could be a short timeframe (1 hour) where people with tattoos can use the shared onsen.

An excellent traditional hotel to experience authentic Japanese customs and traditions. The property offers an exceptional kaiseki dinner and a unique traditional Japanese breakfast, both of which are exceptionally delicious. The surrounding grounds are beautifully maintained, creating a serene atmosphere. The rooms and onsen facilities are well-stocked with high-quality toiletries. The overall ambiance of the hotel is outstanding. Additionally, the hotel provides a designated smoking room for guests.

The staff went above and beyond, they are so friendly and accommodating I would definitely come stay here again and recommend it to anyone.

We enjoy every moment of this stay. Staff are so nice and recommend good restaurant. Shuttle bus service brought us there and collected us when we finish. The bath experience is the best part.
