Quaint room in a fully furnished ryokan. The amenities were of good quality. Ryokan was newly renovated and the owner paid lots of attention to the ryokan details. Service staff was very proactive and professional despite the language barrier. Restaurant served excellent French inspired cuisine. Enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Onsen spring water quality was amazing and extremely hot at 98 degrees. Sake collection at the ryokan was exceptional too.

“Fantastic Ryokan with a French twist and a great host”

We were all hype for our stay at Tamakiya and our lovely host Yuki did a great job in making sure that everything went beyond our expectations.

We were all hype for our stay at Tamakiya and our lovely host Yuki did a great job in making sure that everything went beyond our expectations. Upon checking in, she gave us an offer we can't refuse by suggesting a room upgrade at a modest price. We ended up getting a spacious, cozy room right by the Creek with a private Onsen. The most interesting thing about this Ryokan was the dinner. It was prepared by chef Kuriyama who was pried from a Tokyo bristol by the Ryokan's owner. Everything, from amuse bouche to dessert, were nicely presented with a great taste to match. The experience of having full course French dinner while dressed in yukata was also very unique. Everything about our stay was beyond perfect and we can see why this Ryokan is rated so highly on multiple websites.

“Wonderful Experience. True Japanese culture, with a excellent variety of sake.”

I was taken here for a surprise trip for my birthday, since I'm very keen on Japanese sake. Not only was i pleasantly surprised by the private onsen and level of service, but I was truly blown away by the Japanese sake offer at our evening dinner (my specific plan was 22 kinds of sake!!)

I was taken here for a surprise trip for my birthday, since I'm very keen on Japanese sake. Not only was i pleasantly surprised by the private onsen and level of service, but I was truly blown away by the Japanese sake offer at our evening dinner (my specific plan was 22 kinds of sake!!) Yuichi Yamagishi's knowledge of sake and food pairing was comprehensive. I was thoroughly delighted with the experience, and would recommend this onsen ryokan to any true Japanese sake lover.

I went there with my girlfriends and we had a great time staying at this ryokan hotel. Hotel shuttle picked us up from the train station and we arrived the hotel within 20 mins. We were then greeted warmly by a hostess who spoke fluent English, found out later that she studied in London and used to work at Ritz in Tokyo. We took a dip in the onsen before dinner, the onsen in this area is known as one of the 3 best therapeutic onsen in Japan. Our skin was deeply hydrated, and all of our girlfriends felt the lifting effect on our face, simply magical! Dinner was exceptional. The talented young chef elaborates his skills learned at Joel Robuchon, Roppongi, creatively with fresh local ingredients. The sauce in every dish matches the food perfectly, the presentations were amazing as well. We had sake pairing with our multi courses dinner and the sommelier (young and handsome), also the 4th generation owner of this hotel, introduced us a variety of sake by breweries in the nearby region. Even my sake-lover friend was amazed by the extensive collection. We ended our stay here with a scrumptious breakfast prepared by the owner’s parents, a traditional Japanese breakfast including tasty homemade pickled vegetables, grilled miso salmon, pork stew, miso soup, juice, soy milk.....(see photo) Overall experience was excellent, I gave them 4 stars because we couldn’t book the room with its private onsen.
