The overall experience of a real Japanese place. The new and great food. The hot bath.

“Incredible experience”

Every single detail was thought. Our stay was perfect

“Great Gem”

The food was absolutely amazing and it was nice that they explained what every component was and where it was from. The staff were also super friendly and made us feel at home. On top of all this, the room was really spacious and well-designed, we would definitely come back to explore the area more!

“A cozy ryokan amidst nature.”

Our room had a private onsen facing the forest - it was lovely to soak in while enjoying the views and sounds of the brook. It’s a small establishment so it feels very personal. The spread of food was very generous and the owner could speak some English to introduce the dishes.

“Cosy stay with delishous food and amazing people”

It is a calm and clean space, wonderful and attentive staff, with loads of knowledgeable about the area. It felt like you’re staying with friends.

“an amazing hotel ,do not skip dinner there”

dinner and breakfast were amazing the service was perfect the room and all other facilities were wonderful it was really a pleasyre to stay there

“I am now one with the river”

The private onsen was amazing! Luxury and relaxing and absolutely amazing views of the forest. Hearing the river helped us sleep. Kontatsu table was a nice touch. The food is probably the best quality local food you can get in Japan, all prepared to perfection. Lovely staff who were very kind and helpful and accommodating to our requests e.g. changing some of the food for my wife who is pregnant.

“Wonderful Ryokan in Tenkawa!”

It was wonderful place to stay. 1. Food was very good and served on beautifully chosen plates. Very diverse and interesting choice of dishes. For second day we had another set of food. Especially good was special sake (you will need to order it additionally), it was very tasty and easy to drink. In nearby shop there is also local mochi with mugwort - they was very good and worth to try at least once. 2. Room was very spacious with intricate design made from local wood and bathtub on balcony felt as it was our personal open air onsen really, with view on the forest and river. Also yukata and haori was included and it was perfect way to experience food, make some photos and enjoy our stay. It goes without saying that room was very clean and beds was very comfortable. 3. Place itself is very quiet and nice. Village is very near to Dorogawa onsen village but much calmer and not crowded by tourists. It also has great trail for hiking which goes trough beautiful falls to Dorogawa. There are 2 suspension bridges there with great view on river. At night there are plenty of stars and you can see wild deers. 4. Everyone was really hospitable, helpful and we had no trouble without knowing any Japanese.

“Very enjoyable.”

Beautiful view of autumn leaves from the spacious room. Kotatsu cosy for sitting with the laptop. Excellent food. Private ofuro which is scheduled, select your time. Can do hiking from the front door. Hosts very helpful with information and directions.

Lovely guesthouse next to a brook with amazing food (it's no wonder they are a Michelin recommended restaurant). They were also accommodating for a vegetarian diet. Very friendly and helpful staff.

“An absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. The best of Japanese hospitality.”

Amazing care and hospitality in every aspect of our stay. Beautiful nature and approach to creating a welcoming atmosphere for all of my group. The nearby nature trails are the most spectacular I have seen in Japan.
