i liked the room the way it is, for me it was quite charming.. wet areas were renovated and comfortable enough.. breakfast was okay but i really liked the dinner.. Sunawara-san is an excellent cook and I was looking forward to his dishes every day ^^

even though i asked for a quite room, my room was not quite at all and every morning housekeepers were extremely noisy.. since the check out time is 10am i believe it would be much nicer to start cleaning the rooms and common areas after that time.. only 1 or 2 other rooms were occupied during my stay that's why i found it a bit disrespectful to start cleaning while guests are in their rooms =(

We loved the traditional Japanese ryokan style where we slept on futon in a tatami room. The food was delicious and included amazing sashimi at every dinner. The staff made great efforts to also make Japanese meals that my five-year-old son would eat and enjoy. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The surroundings are extremely beautiful with the caves and Gebikei Gorge worth a visit. There are also other nice things to see like the castle and pokemon train (you need to book this in advance as it is small and busy). Having some Japanese language is very useful, but everyone also spoke English to us which we appreciated so much. Thank you!

Visitors should be aware that the trains aren't very regular to the town so to be careful to plan. Around New Year some places (like restaurants) are closed so take care to plan if there is something you want to visit.

breakfast and location were terrific.. we had a very tasty evening meal at the property.lovely to be able to walk easily around the town, to see tourist destinations. enjoyed being in a smaller village location

plumbing a little old, broken items and leaking taps,etc. Accommodation did offer to changes rooms and apologized. downstairs facilities seemed to have been renovated,

The Dinner and breakfast was really nice and quality food cooked and curated. comparing with another hotel where we had paid more, the dinner and breakfast at Kajiyabekkan Ramakkoro Yamaneko was definitely better tasting. Maybe the weather and temperature dropped drastically last night because of snow today, we felt really cold in our room, especially in the area of the toilet and bathroom. The room we stayed were a tad small for 4 of us. After putting the futon out, we had no space to walk except on each other’s futon. But we all did sleep well through the night. We will recommend this place if you love good food and don’t mind the room.

the room is old and has a bit of smell. a big small for 4 person.

The staff and chef were extremely hospitable and nice. The food was amazing, especially the muscat and pear cake! It’s one of the best I’ve had.

The room was a little cold, but the staff Misato was eager to help me turn on extra heater to make my stay comfortable.

We booked two rooms… a twin and a triple for our family of 5. We chose half board to include breakfast and dinner for our stay. This was based off the reviews saying that dinner was a “must do”. The Japanese dinner was amazing! (Note: if you book “children” in your booking, the people under 18 receive a different meal to the adults- see picture). And the staff were super friendly. The Japanese breakfast with a side of sausages and scrambled eggs was great too. As it was my husbands birthday, I had previously enquired about a small cake for breakfast. The hotel was able to fulfil this request (a little bit extra ¥). The rooms were spacious and comfortable. A deep bath and shower room with seperate toilet and an extra seating area at the back of the room.

Everything was great! My only complaint was that the triple room had a definite smell of cigarette smoke. I did specifically book two non-smoking rooms. My teenage kids said they were fine with the smell, so we didn’t complain or request a room change. The twin room was fine.

Lovely Ryokan beside the Satetsu river and calling distance to the Geibikei. Host also has a small eating dining room unfortunately it was all reserved the time we stayed so suggest you book in advance as the food looked beautiful.

We have enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. Felt very cozy here. We had a fabulous breakfast in the morning. Staff were friendly and he recommended me a fabulous Yakiniku Place. Best Yakiniku we have tasted. Thank you so much for making our stay so pleasant.

Room is quite small.

It is very cosy. Can use the washing machine. You can preorder the dinner, very nice.

We stayed for 5 days. A little small for a family of 4. No wardrobe to put our clothes.

The owner’s introduced is very friendly and patiently. There is a local supermarket in the vicinity for about 4 minutes by car. Dinner was delicious.

Dinner delivery was a bit slow, if rice and meal (meat, vegetable …etc) are send together, it’s more better.
