It was all fantastic, there was nothing to not like!

This place is spectacular and it’s the second time we booked. If you are looking for a traditional Japanese inn/hotel this is the place to stay!! I would recommend this to anyone, it is by far the best place we stayed in Japan! I would like to make a special mention to Koike Takahiro who looked after us! He was the most fantastic host and staff member, he did so much to help us and make our stay amazing, he was just incredible! Don’t hesitate to book this place you won’t be disappointed it’s is phenomenal!

No restaurant or bar service on the day I stayed. This is usually an important part of a Ryokan experience, so cannot be understated. This wasn’t only conveyed after the booking was made.

Great facilities. Excellent location. Modern and clean ryokan room that keeps the traditional spirit.

Amazing Ryokan experience! The house was spacious and beautiful. The outdoor onsen were beautiful with the nice garden background. There’s also another indoor onsen if you prefer indoor. Amazing traditional Japanese style breakfast. We had a wonderful time and will definitely come back to this place

When we arrived we were welcomed with matcha tea and a traditional desert which were refreshing after a very long journey. The room was outstanding, exactly like in the pictures, loved the traditional Japanese style. In the room we had everything we needed from toiletries to coffee maker. The room was clean, had AC in case we were cold, the bed was comfy and it had a view to the garden. The Ryokan was quiet, perfect for a few days of relaxation. We especially loved the yukatas. The view to the central garden was everything we had hoped for. The main star for us was the private onsen which was accessible directly from the shower. The kaiseki breakfast and dinner were amazing. The staff even adapted the menu to our dietary needs, for example we couldn't eat raw fish and they were happy to change some of the ingredients. The restaurant is cozy and elegant and all the tables have privacy. The staff was kind and helpful throughout our entire stay. The neighborhood was quiet, clean. There are several hikes you can take in the nearby woods. From some of them you can even see Mount Fuji. A true Ryokan experience.

I don’t like the way front desk works. They don’t allow any changes to plan. English is also a problem to understand each other properly.

Very nice and cool place for quiet stay and Japanese garden and culture experience

The room is beautiful and full of characters, there is a lovely garden too where you hear the frogs, you really get to experience traditional aesthetic and atmosphere there. The room did feel quite big for a solo traveller. The staff are very attentive and helpful, Yamada san speaks excellent Chinese which makes the communication smooth, they also went out of their way to make arrangements for me to visit various places. The food was also very thoughtful and fresh.

Mind the frogs in the garden that get it going pretty loud in June. But if you have ear plugs or ear buds you’re good.

Very beautiful and so many nice design details. The food was outstanding. Very professional service.

No breakfast or dinner available unfortunately. Also no flower class as advertised. It seems they had delivery issue / staff on holidays for those services. It was a thursday.

The room was amazing. The property is beautiful. The staff was very friendly, helpful, polite and welcoming. The atmosphere is serene and relaxing.

It is quite the uphill walk from the main attractions like the temple and bamboo forest but if you are keen on having a nice refreshing walk it should not be a problem as it was not for us.

The property was clean, beautiful and the onsen was really relaxing. Everything was very well kept and breakfast was delicious. Staff, despite having limited English were great at still managing to communicate with us properly by other means, and were really friendly. One man even gave us a list of recommended restaurants around the area when dinner was not available for our particular booking :)

There is nothing I didn't like about this facility. Westerners will likely find it difficult to use a mattress on the ground like we did at first, and it takes a while to find the Air Conditioner. You may also not be able to adjust the heat in the Onsens. Some did, some didn't.

I can't give enough compliments to the staff of this location. They were all super friendly and helpful to a group of Americans that spoke super broken Japanese. On both nights, the crew went above and beyond to call over the course of several hours in order to get us reservations in town. They really worked very hard to take care of us. I love the in-room onsens. They have a window that let's in air from the outside, and a shower attached so you don't get in dirty and you can get some nice relaxation time. I was skeptical at first because this was the most expensive leg of our trip, but it was worth every penny.

No screens on any windows. Inability to open window without mosquitoes coming in.

Well taken care of, excellently manicured grounds, exceptional room.

no staffs proactively mentioned the free taxi vouchers, till I found from the social media and asked for. And only the checking out journey was offered.

Facilities and the decoration are really amazing, especially the balance between comfort and the traditional Japanese style

We could hear the footsteps of the people staying in the unit above us.

The kaiseki dinner and breakfast were delicious.

Nothing to complain, of course pricing is relatively higher but it is 100% worth it

Amazing experience that we would recommend to all people visit Japan, great facilities, private onsens, comfortable stay, very friendly and professional staff, free parking

This is the ryokan experience you are looking for. Peaceful grounds and pleasant staff. The onsen was lovely, very warm and nice view of the mountain. Easy walk to shujenzi town. Excellent breakfast in restaurant on site and outstanding in room dinner. Broad alcohol options. Beds are comfortable. Look forward to next time back

Everything was amazing. The room, the onsen, the hotel area, the neighborhood. They offer traditional Japanese meals (we only had breakfasts) which are delicious. Staff is very helpful

Stayed in April 2025

We weren’t particularly fond of the breakfast, but we understand it was very traditional (we’re just not accustomed to those ingredients); nonetheless, we’re glad we gave it a try.

This property is absolutely gorgeous. The gardens provided a serene and peaceful atmosphere, and the ryokan itself was stunning. The space was incredibly spacious, beautifully designed, comfortable and had every amenity needed for an indulgent stay. The two private onsens were truly relaxing —I only wish I had stayed longer to explore the charming village nearby. At first i was scared because i couldn’t find many reviews about this place but im so happy i stayed here I can’t recommend this place enough!

Traditional Japanese accommodations with a private onsen in each room - this was the experience of a lifetime. My husband and I went for vacation and we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere and stellar service. This was truly the best service we have ever received in a hotel, I can’t emphasize that enough. We were amazed at how kind and wonderful all the staff were.

We loved our stay at this ryokan and the exceptional service by the staff! Extremely professional staff with top-notch hospitality and impeccable service. The room was beautiful and was warm upon arrival on a cold night. The private onsen was also a lovely treat to ourselves.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 nights stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Beautiful traditional accommodation and the breakfast was amazing. It was quiet and relaxing. Having our own private onsen was fabulous. Highly recommend this beautiful place. The local town was a gorgeous relief from the craziness of Osaka and Tokyo.
