    The ryokan was located perfectly opposite to the bus station. The building was charming and the room spacious and clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

    The room was huge for 2 people. The futon were confortable. There were hangers to let your clothes dry (ours don't go in the dryer but there was one too). The place is well located, you can reach the main attractions by foot or bus.

    This B&B is very nice Japanese style accommodation: my room was a spacious and comfortable tatami room with balcony and bathroom attached. Breakfast room and common area was well equipped and breakfast was satisfying. Host Yasu speaks good English and is ready to provide any information you need.

    Was our first time staying at a traditional 2-storey japanese house, did take some getting used to, otherwise an interesting experience! Futons were tucked in the cupboard and was comfy once laid out. House was spacious with old school finishings, however toilet was surprisingly newly constructed (it seems).

    We came to Takachiho to visit the famous gorge and when looking at accommodation, there were little around. Ryokan Shinsen was definitely more on the pricer side, however having stayed the 2 nights, I would be more than keen to stay here again. The facilities and rooms were immaculate. The service was excellent, very attentive. Breakfast and dinner were included in the stay and it's definitely an experience. There is plenty of parking if you're planning on driving and close to tourist attractions.
