    Small but awesome ryokan with awesome staff! Main staff was able to speak very good English, and was very accommodating with requests, as much as possible. Really recommended to stay!

    It was a littly chilly in the area where we ate food but it wasn't too bad.

    Great vibe, friendly staff, amazing food. The room had a very traditional Japanese style and was quite comfy. The meals were great (both in taste and portions). Also quite close to the ropeway.

    Does not apply. Everything was as it should have been.

    Beautiful place with amazing hot springs (for private use). Perfect for a relaxing stay, rooms were very comfortable and service was excellent! Tao (hope I’m spelling that right) was very sweet and attentive. We also had dinner and breakfast and food was delicious and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend this place! 👍

    There was nothing that we didn't like about our stay.

    A little oasis in this beautiful valley. We enjoyed our short stay of one night. The onsen facilities are private and very pretty.Perfect to rest our bodies. We enjoyed spotting wildlife on a walk close by. The dinner was one of the best ones we had during our stay in Japan, delicious. The host was very kind and let us store our bags upon early arrival.

    A bit expensive but it is usual price of ryokan.

    Nice and polite staff. They are very helpful. Nice compact hotel with private onsens, two outdoor and two indoor. But the outdoor one you can see a house so we go for indoor one. 6-7 parking lots are available in front of the hotel. Good for the ones who drive. One more thing, staff is very active in chat and response us so fast.

    It’s not a complaint, but it is a bit remote. So if you plan to do things in a city nearby, keep an eye on the bus schedule

    The onsen was amazing with a few options if you wanted something outside or indoors. The hostess was extremely helpful and friendly, and cooked great meals. The decor is fantastic and was everything I had hoped for when coming to Japan.

    Very nice ryokan with 4 private onsen (2 outside) and one shared onsen. Big beautiful rooms and private dining areas. Everything you might need for bathing is provided. Lovely, helpful hostess who speaks great English. She was waiting for me at the bus stop , which is next to the house. She was flexible with me changing times for breakfast and very helpful in general. Tastefull food that you can choose from a menu. 12 minute bus ride (every hour) to the Nishihotake Ropeway Station that gets you up the mountains, from where great views if the weather permits. From there it’s also possible to do a shorter or longer hike, I did the 2km, but rather steep climb to the Nishiho Hut. I walked back, but it’s also possible to hike 4km to Kamikochi and take a bus back. Recommend!

    The hotel is located 30 min from Kamikochi bus stop, near a thermal water source. The hotel has 3 different onsen baths that you can reserve and are private, beautiful. We tried also the dinner and it was a well served Japanese style dinner with fish and vegetables. The owner is very kind and in case she is speaking English!

    The private hot spring allows my tattooed husband to enjoy with me and my son at anytime we want. The staff prepared HALAL HIDA BEEF and HALAL BREAKFAST as we requested prior to our arrival. They also helped me to pay the luggage delivery from osaka as i didnt pay in previous hotel. I pay it upon arrival.
