What an amazing ryokan! Everything about the place was amazing, but what truly made the stay great was just how kind and helpful the owner was.

Really nice to stay in Ryokan and tick it off; the building was really nice and unlike anywhere else we've stayed in Japan. The upstairs room has a balcony looking out over the forest & an en-suite. I'd recommend double stacking the mats for a comfier sleep!

“Relaxed and accessible nature stay”
The hosts were gentle, kind and accommodating. The dinner there is wonderful, requiring a booking ahead of time. Breakfast is served upon request. The location is very relaxing, tree views and lovely noise of crickets and birdsong (be aware a few bugs such as locusts and dragonflies might visit the balcony). The balcony telescope may be used on a clear night. The rooms are large and have WiFi and air conditioning, good showers and a toilet. Beautiful (Japanese cedar?) furniture and traditional Tatami mats and futon beds. There is a washer and dryer available for guest usage. The hotel is accessible by a bus from the local train station. There are convenience stores and restaurants closeby, and great hikes such as Mount Takao, just a 45 minute journey away. I even made a trip into central Tokyo via train which took around 2 hours. All in all, Kougetsu Sanso was great value and easily the highlight of our stay in Japan. Thank you Hoshima and team! <3

“Please be aware - the charge is per person not per room.”
The owner did offer to provide pick up from the station and also to take me to my restaurant reservation. He offered us some homemade plum wine when we returned in the evening.

Beautiful old house run by a few people. Don’t expect service . It’s just a homestay. Lovely large tatami rooms for the family. It’s basic but pleasant. Lovely house and run by some kind people who leave you alone. Breakfast is provided. Suburban area has a few places to eat and. Starbucks nearby.

“unmatched atmosphere and exceptional hospitality”
My partner and I recently enjoyed a remarkable stay at this exceptional venue. The ambiance and scenic views offered here are unparalleled, creating a truly unforgettable experience. The meticulous preservation of the building's authentic charm adds a unique and historical character to the stay. Moreover, the hospitality extended to us was exceptional, meriting the highest praise. I strongly recommend this venue to those seeking a serene family retreat or a memorable gathering with friends. It's a place that deserves serious consideration for anyone looking to create lasting memories.
