"Évasion exceptionnelle au cœur d’un Japon authentique"

10.0

Établissement calme au cœur de la nature et à côté d’une rivière sublime Des onsens publiques non mixte en journée puis privatifs mixtes en fin de journée Chambre confortable et luxueuse, des repas excellents avec des produits de qualité Le meilleur : toutes les personnes de l’hôtel au petit soin. Ils font de l’accueil un art à part entière. Ne passez pas à côté du saké chaud après le repas du soir dans la salle principale avec Noriho un magicien.

"A Quintessential Ryokan Experience"

10.0

We were looking for the quintessential Ryokan experience - as this was likely to be our one and only opportunity to be in one. Wanosato met that expectation. The "room" was actually 4 rooms looking directly out on a lovely river. The onsen (baths) were perfect (although in-doors - no outdoor baths). A bath is reserved after dinner for mixed bathing (i.e.,. only you and your partner in the bath) which was special. The food was spectacuiar. Staff was terrfiic. Overall, very relaxing - you feel pampered. You pay a lot for all of this luxury - but it was worth it for us.

10.0

We very much enjoyed our one night stay here as two couples in one villa. Yes, this is a pricy stay for one night, but considering how much and great food you get, how nice and comfy rooms you get, and how nice the baths are, it's worth every penny. The staff was very accommodating and incredibly nice. We even got a bamboo-sake infused magic show after dinner! The house we stayed in was clean and very large. The beds were amazing! And the baths were so relaxing! This place is like out of a ghibli film.

"AMAZING!"

10.0

What a wonderful experience! Before even entering the ryokan, we were met in the parking lot, and it felt like they were happily awaiting us. While we were escorted into the building, other staff members carried our suitcases to our room. The ryokan was stunning in its comfort, beauty, warmth, and the smell of burning wood in the fireplace. The room itself was breathtaking, with a breathtaking view of the river and forest from the window. The mattress and pillows were very comfortable – we slept wonderfully! Everything was thought out to the smallest detail and was incredibly comfortable. The onsen was large and wonderful, and dinner and breakfast were works of art. All the staff were attentive, and everything was incredibly clean. We were delighted! It was a magical experience, and we sincerely wish everyone the same joy as we did.

"Exceptional, a holiday highlight."

10.0

Yep, this place is awesome. We loved the staff, the onsen, the food, the fire, the sake, the rooms. Just a beautiful experience. Travelled with 5 people, and this was in the top 3 Japan experiences for all of us.

This place has an older vibe, which we LOVED. However if anyone really really likes modern looking buildings, this may not be your thing. Having said that, as an older couple who likes all of the modern conveniences, this place has all of that well covered.
