“Have to ensure the location of the room you reserved if you have difficulty in mobility.”
The quality of breakfast is better than dinner in terms of quality and range of food provided.

“The room we had was historical and amazing.”
We stayed in the 105 sqrm historical house. It was an amazing experience. We had futon beds on tatami mats for the 5 of us. There was also very nice Japanese baths and great view. The Kotohira shrines stairs are close by and it was very nice experience.

“A Stunning Place To Soak Away The Aches Of The Day”
We received the shuttle service to and from the Hotel. Grounds, and buildings were excellent. Well heated, but not stifling. There was a very comfortable lounge that was ideal for relaxing. Bedding was futons, made with a flourish by the night staff. We had the outdoor private onsen, which was absolutely superb. The breakfasts of a morning were sublime; some of the nicest we have ever had in Japan.

“Thank you so much for a wonderful stay and for allowing us to experience this amazing hotel.”
We are from the UK and wanted to experience a traditional Japanese Ryoken. We loved this place, it was so different to any hotel we have ever been to before. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the food was out of this world.

“A very enjoyable and unforgettable stay for us.”
The ryokan is absolutely beautiful, service was excellent and the food was very good. A very enjoyable and unforgettable 2 day stay for us. I would highly recommend the stay if you are looking to relax and unwind near nature. We stayed in a premium cottage and could book the private onsen each day at no additional cost. It was very good.

Spacious room in a ryokan in Kotohira. It is around 5 minutes' walk to the shrine approach with restaurants and shops, with the train stations a little further away. Breakfast and dinner were excellent, the private outdoor onsen was great and the staff are welcoming.

“Excellent location, with warmth stay and great in-house food”
The location is great, with the famous Kotohira Shrine just nearby the hotel. We love the onsen on the balcony, and exceptional breakfast and dinner prepared to us. Plus point to Judee who serves us with all the patience. The hotel alone would let you take lots of photos, it's too beautiful!
