Incredibly welcoming staff in a very cosy ryokan. It was like staying the night at my grandparent's house, and I mean that in the best way possible! The room was gorgeous, spacious, and clean. The dinner was succulent and very generous! I highly recommend booking it.

“Amazing owners!”

The owners are really friendly and the dinner and breakfast were really tasteful! I would really recommend this Ryokan.

“Heartwarming”

Absolutely welcoming and heartwarming atmosphere! The owners are some of the kindest people on earth. If you seek to see the calm side of Japan this is where to go. I needed a rest away from everything else. I arrive on time for the check in and enjoyed the vibe of the traditional Japanese room so much that I have spent the entire afternoon until dinner in there reading. They cook the breakfast and dinner themselves and even provided vegetarian meals for me,which I was very grateful for. The food was absolutely amazing and doesn't compare to anything else I have had on my trip. On the first night I was asked whether I want to try a yukata. I was offered many styles to choose from. I was so happy and excited. I really want to come back and stay more than two nights.

“Welcoming and warm”

Nice and comfortable room. The owner is incredibly friendly, helpful and a wonderful host. Convenient location, about 7 minutes walk to the train station. Very good dinner and breakfast.

“I had a fantastic stay and was treated extremely kindly. Thank you for letting me stay in your lovely home and for helpi”

It was a very cool traditional Japanese style B&B. The family who ran the business were really lovely and extremely helpful!

It was a privilege to stay here, in this beautiful house in a less journeyed part of Japan. The hosts are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and this visit - along with the breakfast - was a true highlight of our trip so far. Go visit Takeda Castle Ruins if you have the time!

“Unforgettable beautiful memories！”

My family and I stayed here for three days. Everything here was unforgettable—quiet, clean, and fresh air. The hotel manager was enthusiastic and professional. It felt like living in a familiar home. The owner told us that this restaurant and hotel is family-run, starting from the Taisho era, with a history of more than 100 years. Every day, we enjoyed a delicious home-cooked Japanese breakfast. There is also a family-inherited kaiseki cuisine that is a must-try. Our whole family experienced the real Japanese culture and life here. My wife and daughter especially enjoyed the Japanese clothing experience specially prepared by the host for us. In short, it was a wonderful experience, and I hope to have the opportunity to come here again.

We stayed in this hotel as a stopover between Ine and Ako. The proprietors were very friendly and welcoming. There was ample parking which was great for us and breakfast was simple but delicious.

“A warm and friendly bed and breakfast:)”

I was visiting my Baba in Sanda and decided to go see the Takeda Castle Ruins for the first time. I found this lovely minshuku (bed and breakfast) on booking.com. Shunko, her husband and her parents were the most welcoming hosts - so friendly, kind and warm. I enquired about eating dinner there and when I arrived at 7.45pm in the evening, they had prepared a beautiful Japanese meal. They also asked me to put a cute little sticker on their world map to show where I had come from :) The room reminds me of my grandparents home, so warm and homely. It came with a private wash-basin and toilet, with a bath and shower outside the room. Shunko's father was kind enough to take me to Takeda Castle Ruins in the morning 🥺 and then I came home to a beautiful Japanese breakfast. It was one of my most memorable and enjoyable stays in Japan, the family said that they have had this bed and breakfast for over 100 years - and I can see why, it is run with so much love! Could not recommend more ❤️ i am half Japanese so speak Japanese, but they can speak some English for any foreigners.

“Recommended stay with family vibes and good dinner.”

I like the vibes, feel like I am a guest in someone’s house. There are even fresh flowers in the room. The staff (family) was very friendly and attentive. I wanted to book unkai tour but unfortunately weather was not good. They sent me to Takeda station for the castle ruins instead which was well appreciated. Get the dinner option, it’s good plus save the hassle of looking for food in small town which can be difficult.

Staff were lovely. Breakfast was great. A bit on the expensive side compared to another similar ryokan.

“An absolutely wonderful experience”

An absolutely wonderful experience. The staff were utterly fantastic! So much enthusiasm... happy and helpful. It was a very "Japanese" experience. Also the most incredible breakfast that I've ever had!

“Beautiful traditional guest house where to embrace relaxing time.”

A beautiful traditional guest house where we had time to relax and enjoy the silence. The owner was so kind to prepare us a delicious dinner upon our request. We regretted we booked just one night!

“Pleasant but priced a bit high”

Friendly and accommodating staff and spacious room.

The staff was really very nice, helpful and accomodating. The Ryokan is perfectly located in the peacful countryside of Hyōgo prefecture. Especially the Family room and the traditional japanese breakfast make it a very memorable experience!

The staff was super kind to me. One day they drove me to the Takeda castle since it was raining outside. They were always smiling and ready to help you. The breakfast was also super very delicious. The bathroom was clean and spacious. I definitely recommend if you're staying somewhere near the Takeda Castle !

Family owned property. Friendly host , we stayed here to see the sunrise at the castle . We got lucky , very amazing view up the mountains. 40 mins hike up a paved road. They gave us a very big room on the ground floor . Adjoining to a common room next to the bedroom. So it is quite spacious to put our luggages.

“Most helpful and kind staff. Amazing 1 night stay.”

The owner made our experience in this town 100% better. She drove us to our destination even after we checked out. She also told us to do the 5am hike to see the caste in the sky and that made our entire day.

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by our host and her mother. The house is simy stunning, as is the small garden. Our room was a fantastic and super clean tatami room, and the dinner was sublime, just like the breakfast. We would definitely come again.

“Very nice ryokan experience.”

The very friendly owner and the half board arrangement is fantastic.
