Every single thing. It has been one of my best experiences at a hotel/ryokan, the facilities themselves are incredible, everything feels really well taken care of, the staff was incredible, all of them always kind and attentive to our needs.

You need to know you will sleep on the floor in separate beds .

Setting - culture -food - hot bath ready when you arrive - Japanese clothes they give you

A very special place - traditional but luxurious Japanese style rooms, excellent dining, and great staff. Also was located in the cool part of the island. Wasn’t cheap but was worth it.

Nothing.

Everything was exceptional. The attention to detail in the room, service from staff, preparation, presentation and serving of food. Even though it was winter we sat outside next to the firepit after dinner and it was very comfortable. The beds were very comfortable, the private onsen with view out to the woodland beyond was perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The room was spacious and perfectly equipped with everything you might need. Ryokan Roka has managed to combine current cuisine with the type of service that hasn’t been seen in many fine dining restaurants around the world in years. Congratulations.

Everything about our stay was exceptional! Every moment was a delight, and the staff went above and beyond with their kindness and attentiveness, ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. I truly appreciated how they paid attention to even the smallest details, from personalized service to the thoughtful variation in the menu throughout our stay. Each dish was absolutely divine. The perfect balance of modern comfort and traditional Japanese culture made for an unforgettable experience. I'd love to return and highly recommend to anyone seeking an authentic experience of both worlds!

We aren’t as used to the Japanese beds so didn’t sleep so well, but it may have been just our experience!

Everything about our stay was absolutely lovely. The room was so nice and we enjoyed the 45 degrees Celsius hot rub in our room as well! All of the food was delicious and made with such care. We will definitely stay again. Thank you to the staff for their warm welcome!

Not a thing

Ryokan Roka is located on what they call the "Art Island" Everything was Fabulous. Amazing. Perfect. Gorgeous. The staff was so helpful and willing to solve any problems or questions. We were provided with drivers and vans to help us get to the museums and galleries. Our room was the largest we had in our 6-week trip to Japan. Unusual and amazing - what a treat! The food was beyond fantastic... it was Mouthwatering delicious. We had all come to view art, and it was wonderful to also be surrounded by art throughout the hotel So, so happy we stayed here.

Hmm…the room wasn’t particularly sound proof. There was this couple in Room 12 and the man was singing awfully late till 11 pm. Perhaps he was drunk. He only stopped after my husband banged on the adjoining wall.

The whole layout of the ryokan was magnificent. We really enjoyed our room at No 11 as its interior was simply divine. The tatami mattress with the thick fluffy comforter gave us a good night of rest. It’s wonderful to be able to soak in the onsen whenever we would like to do so. What’s even greater is the dual mirror and hand wash sink. No need to wait for each other. Little details like hooks for towels and bath robes were carefully thought through. The patio to look out gave us time to reflect and take in the ambience. As for the premise, we liked the fire place as it kept us warm in the cold weather. The zen gravel garden was equally attractive. The staff were very well trained. We particularly liked interacting with Chat (from Sri Lankan) who checked us in /out and gave us our room tour as well as MJ (from the Philippines) who drove us to and fro Miyanoura Port. There was also the female staff who served us our dinner whose name we didn’t get as we were so fascinated by each and every dish. We thanked her for making our dinner experience as memorable.

This is a standout 10/10 experience - it’s perfect. Truly.

This property is one of the most special places i have ever stayed in. Every area is so well considered with the attention to detail and the materials used extraordinary. The food both nights i stayed were highlights of my whole trip and every single staff member from the moment i arrived couldn’t have been more warm and welcoming. As i was travelling alone - they took the time ask me of i had a preference where i’d like to sit during dinner in case i felt uncomfortable in any way which was so sweet and appreciated.

Although the set dinner and breakfast were delicious, there was too much food and we felt rather guilty about the waste!

Wonderful staff, great location, beautiful decor

Delicious food (breakfast and dinner) Top equipped rooms Super friendly and service orientated staff

Everything was excellent. Minor point : the western breakfast is a bit heavy with too much meat.

Very friendly staff. already before you arrive you get information and offer to pick you up at the ferry. We had dinner included. The food was extra-ordinary. High end menu with options for wine, sake or juice pairing.

The dinner course was perfect and a pleasure to our eyes and tungs.

The attention to detail at Roka made the stay very comfortable and convenient. The rooms are so spacious and gorgeous, of course the private onsen was the highlight. It’s very peaceful and I didn’t hear my neighbours. I’d recommend two nights as it’s the best stay in all of Japan for sure. The staff are all so friendly and helpful.
