“A ryokan with dedicated and hospitable staff”

The most expensive accommodation of our 11-day trip but I should say that it was money well-spent. When we arrived at Kiso Fukushima Station, we went to the information centre opposite the station to ask the staff there to help us inform the ryokan about our arrival. We waited about 15minutes at the centre for our shuttle bus to pick us up. The ride to the ryokan was scenic and relaxing. We stayed in the Japanese style room in the old building of the ryokan. A spacious and cosy room with clean private toilet and bathroom. Dining at the restaurant was a great experience. Our Japanese style dinner and breakfast were delicious. The beautifully presented food was served and introduced to us by the hospitable restaurant staff. However... there was too much food. We felt bad that we could not finish all the yummy food. Think it will be good if ryokan could reduce the portion of rice and noodles and let guests request for more if they need. The ryokan also organised free star-gazing session for its guests. A rare chance for us to look at the star-filled sky from the pitch dark summit and learn about the milky way, constellations... Our guide cum driver was very passionate about astronomy and he knew a lot about the stars... It will be perfect if he could communicate in English... What we like the most about this ryokan is the people... the reception lady, the star-gazing guide, the restaurant staff, the shuttle bus driver.... they were all very zealous staff. The ryokan owner was lucky to have staff like them.

“little run down”

We, a group of 5, visited early December 2024. Since early December, the temperature was down to zero and it was snowing.

We, a group of 5, visited early December 2024. Since early December, the temperature was down to zero and it was snowing. Upon arriving, we were informed that the rooms were cold since the premises was old. The staff placed some heaters, but these are running on petrol, and the smell gave us a headache. We asked if we get stay in the newer wing, but we do not know why that request was declined. The diner was ok. But overall a disappointment given that Japan has so many nice Ryokans.
