The dinner was very good! The onsen were nice. There was one lady that spoke English..

Absolutely endearing staff who add a lot of charm to this establishment. This ryokan is remote and that is the point, right there in the middle of the mountains. Original Edo structure of an old house, with well designed extentions and typical ryokan rooms. I love it! Delicious japanese breakfast in private rooms. Next time we will try the Kaiseki. Beautifull onsen which however, has no view over the river nearby.

A very lovely experience in snow covered surroundings. This was all around a perfect experience.

This Ryokan was so charming and gave off such wonderful traditional vibes. Our room was surprisingly spacious and fit 3 of us no problem. The onsen was beautiful and we were lucky enough to have it to ourselves during our stay. The staff was so kind and the traditional breakfast was the best I've had in my travels so far. I highly recommend this ryokan.

We escaped the heat of Tokyo and in this summer weather felt this place was a restful respite from crowds and neon lights. Our room was spacious, while we slept the Azusa river lulled me to sleep. In the morning, onsen was nice if you aren’t use to sleeping on tatami mats. But, you are in nature, so why not sleep closer to ground. I am happy I did not book a “western style bed”. True, we were told there is not a lot to do around the area, but that obtains to those who are boring-find exhilarating and calming moments wherever you are. We spent three nights and enjoyed walking to the shrine in the back, sitting along the River, morning market, walking to unagi restaurant, hydrangeas and mossy gardens, and simply being grateful that this place existed for us to be a hospitable base with delicious breakfast and dinners, where you get a whole room by yourself during breakfast and dinner to enjoy local flavors of hoba miso, Hida beef, and ayu grilled fish near a warm hearth.

The breakfast was exceptional. We enjoyed sitting around the Japanese traditional hearth to have our breakfast. The actual location of the accommodation is very close to the Fukuji Spa station. Just take note that it is situated down a slope. We did take some effort to push our luggages up the slope on the last day to get to the bus station but it was not too bad. I forgot to order dinner in advance. There is a family- run restaurant a short walk away and we enjoyed the food there very much. Value for money.

Excellent staff, which is the main reason to stay here. Friendly, and they make you feel incredibly welcome. The food is the best I've eaten so far in Japan, and if you decide to stay here do take the dinner option! Highly recommended. Both the hotel and the dinner is worth the price

amazing food, best we've had on our trip! they accommodated me being a vegetarian. the entire place ist just really cool with an oldschool vibe, hard to describe. it's definitely on the old side, but we thought this added to the charm. really nice owner with good english, too, and we had a nice chat with a member of staff during dinner, which was charming!

We booked a room with western beds and we were pleasantly surprised that it came with a tatami matted living room that can easily fit in 4 futons. Definitely a good choice for a family traveling together. It justified what we thought was a higher price we paid for the room. Perhaps because the property was built with wood, we thought it looked a little aged. But the excellent staff and service more than make up for it. They were friendly and warm. And we are happy to find that the owner is conversant in English.
