"An unforgettable and healing experience"

10.0

Even one night at Wanosato is an incredible experience. This ryokan is a bit far from Takayama's city centre, but it was not a problem at all since we were brought there and back by a shuttle bus provided by Wanosato. We were greeted with a tea and delicious manjuu and stayed at the Ichinomiya room. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view. The furniture was full of soul. There was a matcha making set with instructions but also a nespresso coffee maker. We were provided with a cute set of yukata, haori, belt, socks, and a little bag with bathroom necessities, all in lovely autumn colors. The staff was very kind and welcoming, we could communicate easily in English and my very much broken Japanese. We had dinner and breakfast. The dinner was a 10-course exquisite feast. The hida beef steak was delicious, but we could also experience things we never did, like eating a grilled fish straight from a stick and miso soup with mussels. Afterwards we could barely move, we were so full. However, we still found riceballs wrapped in a leaf in our room afterwards, in case we were still hungry. We weren't, but we ate them anyway - they were delicious. The breakfast was also incredible and very filling - we really enjoyed the tofu and fresh melon. There were two different baths available to us - one wooden and one made with stone. We could experience both of them since the genders attached to them switched every day and also because we were given an hour of private bath time - we could then choose which one we prefer and split into gendered groups. Personally, I liked the wooden one the most because of the tranquill view and soothing scent. The stone one also had a bath with cold water, which was very refreshing. We have spent 18 days in Japan already and were very tired. After spending a night, I think either my feet stopped being swollen or my blisters healed quite a bit because walking doesn't hurt anymore.

"Una experiencia magnífica"

9.0

La ubicación es excepcional. La cena kaiseki con el menú de temporada fue excelente. Recomendamos reservar los horarios de cena y onsen privado con cierta antelación para poder elegir. Por la noche nos ofrecieron una degustación de sake caliente al lado de la lumbre. Fuimos para nuestra luna de miel, y de todos los ryokanes visitados el que más recomendamos sin duda es este. ¡Deseando volver!

Habiendo probado otros futones el de este alojamiento no es el más cómodo, demasiado fino para mi gusto.

"大廳有時煙燻味很重,無法久坐,料理還有很大的進步空間,價格的性價比….有點不太理想,但是員工非常的熱情,英文能力也非常好,接待人員非常用心,值得肯定!"

8.0

的確是茅草屋有歷史感,客廳面對河流也是一大美景!

浴室泡湯時,景觀窗幾乎好難和河流呼應,通風不良,浴室剛新換上的木頭已經有霉菌了,真的可惜了!夾腳拖配上路上的小石頭,走路時似乎要更小心喔!

"Wonderful traditional Ryokan experience!"

9.0

Wanosato was simply magical! Hidden in the mountains with views on a beautiful little river from the room. It was so peaceful and relaxing! Perfect if you want to have a traditional Japanese Ryokan experience with onsen and traditional rooms and food. The staff was amazing and very sweet! Couldn’t recommend this place more. 🤗 we had a really great time.

お食事、ロケーション、スタッフ最高でした

離れの部屋 玄関の土間がやはり湿度が高いのでカビ臭い、山なので窓に異常なぐらいの虫 仕方ない事なので我慢できるが虫嫌いな人は注意 クーラーのない部屋はとても暑かった
