“Enjoyable, good baths and tasty food”

Good baths and great food

“Beautiful, relaxing onsen and Japanese cuisine experience”

Harataki met and possibly even exceeded our expectations. The staff was extremely friendly, the room was comfortable, large and with a beautiful view over the river (which could be heard gently through the window). The meals were simply sensational and definitely exceeded our expectations both in terms of quality, presentation and quantity with a two part meal, half pre arranged and the rest in a buffet format with great variety and always very high quality. Other than dinner one of the highlights of our stay was certainly the private onsen bath which was absolutely gorgeous and well worth it, with a private bath by the waterfall, absolutely beautiful and romantic.

“What an exceptional onsen hotel. The meals were the best we have experienced in Japan and the staff were outstanding!!”

Everything including the lovely staff, onsen and beautiful meals served!!

“The dinner here is the best food ever had.”

You have to take the dinner! It was incredible and a highlight. The sashimi, hotpot and desserts. Best ever had.

“Relaxing stay with great food and service”

The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food is excellent so make sure you get the meal inclusions. The private Onsen rooms are fantastic we tried 3 of the 4. Close walk to the bus stop for the loop bus and so many interesting things to see around town. It’s right on a running stream which provides a soothing sound to fall to sleep to.

The service was by far the best part, exceeded all of my expectations in every way

Location was good That is all!

The buffet dinner and breakfast were amazing. The onsen was very nice looking out at the waterfall. They have other entertainment such as karaoke, which you have to reserve at the front desk. Spacious rooms overlook the stream and the given Ukata was comfortable. Friendly staff as well, even helped with booking a taxi.

“Loved the onsen and kaiseki dinner meals.”

Great onsen

the food was delicious and we loved the location, above a stream and in front of the woods. most stuff members were welcoming. the dining area has been renovated and is pleasant.

Location was good That is all!

Great facilities plus a wonderful onsen. Meals also provided were great.

“Easily accessible via car, this ryokan stay and food experience was lovely.”

My family and I absolutely loved our stay here. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a beautiful view. I imagine it would be even more stunning during autumn. The service was exceptional, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, both dinner and breakfast. They even prepared a special kids' meal for my son, which was so thoughtful. If we ever have the chance to visit this city again, we would definitely stay here

“Great traditional Ryoken experience for families and all”

Great traditional Ryoken, stunning location, staff were all excellent, friendly and accommodating. The food was all delicious, great amenities, amazing private Onsen. Overall the experience was just amazing, especially with a young toddler we were very comfortable for our stay. Highly recommend as a place to visit.

“Absolute recommendation.”

Absolutely lovely staff, beautiful landscape and wonderful baths. I really recommend renting one of the private baths. We got the wooden bathtub with open view into the woods and Yu river and were stunned by the beauty of everything. The meal in the restaurant consisted of regional specialties as well as a big buffet to choose from. I would definitely like to return here!

“Very very kind and friendly stuff that is willing to help by all means, gorgeous private onsens and traditional japanese”

The food was really amazing and the atmosphere and friendly personell too.

“Good to relax in the open air bath beside the waterfall and have a delicious dinner.”

The food was delicious and the open air bath was really great. We could also get massages for an additional charge. The staff were very efficient and polite.

Breakfast was very nice in newish dining room. We had a beautiful view while eating delicious food.

The accommodation is pretty. I especially like how we are given private dining room for alternate meals. But the buffet spread was the same for the two nights i stayed. The onsen is nice, but the men side has a better view of the waterfall and they dont alternate the onsen for both genders. The onsen also attracts a lot of butterflies, moths, bees etc. If you are lucky, you can see giant white moth on the wall of the onsen. The location is a little far from the nearest bus stop but they offered free shuttle to the higashiyama and bukkeyashi bus stop. You can use the shuttle anytime you want by just calling the hotel reception. In the morning at 10am, there is also free shuttle to the station. Do check the schedule with them.
