Fantastic stay a traditional location. Best food we had on the whole trip, very fresh and local! Amazing service and hospitality. The staff was extremely kind and helpful and drove us to 3 different locations with their car so we could withdraw some cash from an ATM. We loved the onsen and natural water, there are many different baths inside and outside, public and also private. Beautifully decorated, lots of thought has been put into the hotel and we were welcomed with a crackling fire. Definitely highly recommend! Also easy to reach with an infrequent bus from Kamikochi.

An English sign at the entrance might have been useful as it is a very cute pathway and you don't immediately realize as a foreigner that that's the entrance to the hotel.

It’s a beautiful traditional building with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The vibe it’s what you pay for. There are private indoor and open-air onsen that need no extra money or reservation. Loved it!

There is no shower in the room but you can use the shower in the public and private onsen which are great, but you may not be used to it. The restaurant, although of high quality gourmet japanese food, struggled to adapt their fixed menu to vegetarian. They did try to but it seemed that they found it easier if we just left the food we didn’t want to eat.

The staff is extremely caring and helpful (several spoke English too). The ryokan is intimate, beautifully furnished in a , traditional way with the warmth and charm that can only come with age. The food was extraordinary and included great local dishes. There are several private and group onsen options including outside. Feeling the snow on your skin while sitting in the hot water and looking at the pillows of white on the trees is unforgettable.

There is a beautiful roofed walkway from the bus stop to the Ryokan but since the nice calligraphy with its name is in Japanese only we missed it. Having the name in Romaji would maybe destroy the image so perhaps instead I would suggest sending the info with directions from the bus stop.

It was probably the best hotel experience I've ever had! Having the experience of staying overnight in a traditional ryokan with onsen is unforgettable! I highly recommend everyone to visit this place for at least 1 night (with kaiseki dinner and breakfast). It is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in traditional Japanese culture, enjoy the nature of the mountainous area and relax to a state of zen. For people with tattoos - there are really A LOT of private spacious baths (3 inside the building and 5 outdoors) with wonderful atmosphere and views, so don't worry about missing out on the bathing part of the ryokan.

This place is pure magic, you will live a Spirited Away like experience. There are many crossing corridors and hidden passages over 3 floors but don't worry, they will provide you with a map. At the floor 0 you will find the public baths with all commodities and also 3 wonderful private baths (accessible 24h) with indoor and outdoor hot water pools, showers and many amenities. The hall is fantastic with a Japanese style fireplace. They will serve your dinner and breakfast in a private room, you will taste the real typical foods in a sort of ceremony that will please your mouth and eyes for its beauty. Our king room was an actual apartment paved with tatami including a toilet, bedroom, living room with a view over the garden, a studio and a little place where you can set a fire to heat your water for a wonderful green tea or coffee. The bathroom had both a shower and a big wooden tub resembling a private onsen. Even if the place was completely booked we seldomly met someone around, we really felt to be teleported in another world. The staff is super kind and they will help you in anything you need. Strongly recommended.

This place is incredible! Beautiful zen spaces all throughout the property, many with a stunning view of the outdoor gardens. Very spacious and well appointed rooms. There were 3 very different onsens available - the outdoor one was my absolute favourite nestled among the rocks. The dinner was amazing and very traditional, with each dish a work of art.The staff were beautiful and not intrusive in any way. Location was superb with orange and yellow autumn leaves on display. Wow wow wow!

If I had to be picky, the pillows were unusual!

The location of the resort is wonderful, near a river, and next to the forest. The rooms were spacious and looked exactly like an old Japanese movie. We had dinner included, which was an authentic experience, served in a private room, with delicious food. The pools were amazing, and we could always find a place in the private ones. The distribution of the rooms is done in such a way that we felt like we were the only guests, even if the hotel was fully booked. I would totally recommend it for everyone who wants to have an authentic ryokan experience.

This is an excellent accommodation; it's a great ryokan with a wonderful atmosphere surrounded by beautiful nature. Additionally, there are onsen (hot spring) available, both private and public (separate for men and women). The food is also superb and definitely worth trying. If you come around this area, I highly recommend staying at this ryokan—you'll love it for sure.

The futon is quite good, but the pillow is a bit too low for me.

I loved the terrace where you could sit and look at the mountains and the stars Dinner was excellent

Nothing

We went around November so in the midst of autumn foliage, just an hour drive from takyama. The staff were really friendly and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast included, Japanese kaiseki and the amount of food didn't disappoint. The in -hous private insensitive were great and you got another outdoor private insensitive 4 minutes walk. Public onsen is also available . The bed was really comfy, and the whole place is very retro. We took the 3 room ryokan

Nothing to complain
