Hotel terbaik di Kiso

Ryokan très classique un peu vieillissant au tarif compétitif pour de la demi pension Navette gratuite aux différentes arrivées du train de la Chuo Line. Les chambres simples de 8 tatamis dans la bâtiment d'origine ont vraiment besoin d'une rénovation. Ni salle de bain ni WC dans la chambre. Celles de l'annexe sont plus modernes Personnel très aidant. Onsen sympa et peu fréquenté. Diner très copieux et délicieux mais le service est assez lent. Petit déjeuner très complet. tous les repas sont exclusivement japonais; Personnel très empressé et efficace; Une bonne étape dépaysante sur le Nakasendo trail/

若い主人と，若い女将とが運営する，日本秘湯を守る会の宿。 宿の口コミについて見てみると，かつてと，最近の評価とは，驚くほどの様変わりです。 お祖父さんお祖母さんから，代替わりしたそうです。 湯は，炭酸泉であり，炭酸泉は，総じて人気が高いものです。 さまざまな病気，とくにアトピーなど皮膚病に効能があると言います。 日本最高級の炭酸泉は，鹿児島市にある妙見温泉石原荘であり，湯も，料理も，接客も，部屋も，全て最高ですが，料金も，療養泉とは言いがたく，高級です。 岐阜県湯屋温泉や，下島温泉も，炭酸泉で，御嶽山をはさんで，この宿とおおよそ反対に位置します。 全国には，いくつか炭酸泉があり，大喜泉同様，根強い人気があります。 なかでも大喜泉の人気は高く，接客，料理が驚くほど良くなった現在，以前にも増して，大変な人気のようです。 日帰り入浴者でいっぱいだった後は，満室の宿泊客でいっぱいになるようです。 ご主人のさわやかな接客はすばらしく，若女将の料理も，田舎料理ながら，とても美味しい。 あえて言えば，となりの部屋の音がよく聞こえること，部屋にトイレがないことなどが欠点でしょうが，これらの欠点のおかげで，貴重な炭酸泉に，安価に宿泊 (療養) できるのです。

We found this hotel when looking for somewhere to stay close to the mountains and the hiking trails along Old Nakasendo, such as Magome to Tsumago and the Torii pass. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed, although the interior feels a bit outdated. The lobby offered comfortable seats to relax together, some board games, and a machine with free hot and cold drinks. Both dinner and breakfast was included and served as a Japanes style multi course menu. This was a wonderful experience and something we really enjoyed! Our host was very helpful by introducing the dishes and explaining how and in what order to eat them. We also enjoyed the complimentary hot baths, which work similar to every other onsen we visited in Japan. This was a great way to relax in the afternoon after the hike. The hotel is a 15 minute drive from Kiso-Fukushima station (where all local and express trains stop). The complimentary hotel shuttle bus made it easy to get to the station in the morning and back to the hotel in the afternoon. If you already have your hiking boots on, it is also possible to walk to the hotel via a beautiful scenic road from the local train station Harano in around 60 minutes. The hotel staff was great, very friendly, and doing everything to make our stay comfortable despite not everyone being fluent in English. For example, on our way to the station the shuttle bus driver noticed that there was a youth sumo wrestling competition held in a large tent along the road, and stopped for a few minutes to give us a chance to enjoy it.

This place locals go to for special breaks, it is rural, the transfer from train station took about 30 minutes. Our room was spacious, It had elevated sleeping area, something between bet and sleeping on the floor. Most notable was food. We stayed for two nights and had two Kaiseki-style dinners, served in dinner hall. It was 7 or so course set menu, different on two days. We also had breakfasts there also a gastronomic experience. Hotel has own Onsen bath for guests, traditionally gender separated. Special thanks to hotel's staff, who went beyond what one would expect to help us out when we departed to station without wallet. Pay-by-phone doesn't really work there. To make sure our day plans are not ruined, they took us back to hotel and to the Magome town 66km away to catch up with trail schedule.

Although we booked 2 nights at Onyado Tsutaya, we were told at check-in they were full and we had been given a room in a separate building ”Annex Hatago” (across the street and a few doors down from the actual ryokan.) Given there was an actual name for the separate building, we should have been informed upon booking that we were staying elsewhere and not in the ryokan itself as we had booked. As this information was not relayed to us until check-in, we felt completely misled right from the start. If you've ever stayed in a ryokan, it is all about the atmosphere, hospitality and food. The annex is a non-descript block facing a parking lot. It has no atmosphere and it is hard to experience anything but aggravation walking up/down 2 flights of metal stairs on the outside of the building (no elevator in the annex) and across the street for dinner on a cold night in your yukata. We are fully able to climb the stairs (we walked two different sections of the Nakasendo during our stay here) - it just wasn't what we expected given the hotel indicates it has an elevator. I was also surprised to be left a placard informing us that rooms were not serviced when staying more than one night. While I am all for a green environment, daily service to the room is usually a guest's option rather than a lodging's mandate. Summing it up, no, I would not recommend a stay here as it felt like a bait and switch. Having said that, this is the first time in all my years of traveling throughout the world that I've ever experienced such deception when booking a room.

We loved our 2 night stay in a spacious Japanese-style room with river views. The Inn has a nice vibe to it because it is filled with fellow hikers who share the common interest of enjoying the great outdoors. The onsite onsen was the best we experienced during our 18 days in Japan. We appreciated the free drinks vending machine provided and the dinners and breakfasts were plentiful and tasty. The washing/drying facilities were easy to operate. It is a good base for hiking trails with fabulous views. The township itself has such an interesting history being a postal town along the Nakasendo Trail. No need to pay to visit a monkey park, Japanese Macaque can be seen frequently in this area and were a pleasure to photograph.

The staff really went above and beyond to make two ignorant Canadian tourists feel extremely welcome at a traditional Japanese Ryuken. Though there was a small language barrier, we never felt that we could not communicate our needs. The hot and cold onsen was very refreshing after walking post towns along the Nakasendo Way. The river next to the hotel made for a relaxing experience and deep sleep. Somehow, I missed the option when booking to select the dinner option, there is really no other food options in the area, and the clerk (owner) said he would put a 'simple meal' together for us for a small charge which we found acceptable. The kaiseki that followed was some of the best and most authentic Japanese food we experienced in our two weeks in Japan. The woman serving us was an absolute gem and the cat that ran the establishment was adorable. Our room was very comfortable and had a nice sitting area with a view of the river. Only points of contention would be that that it's a little out of the way if you don't have a car, but is conveniently accessable by bus with ~10 minute walk. The facilities are a little dated, the onsen is discoloured, but I assume that is from the natural minerals. There was a stale smell (smoke) in the rooms which is a bit off-putting to non-smokers. It would appear smoking is allowed in the facility which might be a plus to some.
