Furusato

The service is brillant! The dinner and breakfast are very authentic and delicious. You can take a relaxing bath in Furusato's own onsen which is very tastefully arranged. Our room felt like an appartment. Very close to a beautiful hiking trail.

Unfortunately our stay was too short!

Everything was exceptional, from the staff (they were friendly and helpful) to the place: it was a magic place to spend a couple of nights, relaxing and enjoying the mountains. The onsen was one of the most special moments of our trip to Japan!

Everything was perfect! There was nothing to dislike!

Amazing bang for buck experience. The remote location is perfect to enjoy a quiet stay in the mountains. Our hosts were absolutely amazing, kind, speaking well English and of precious help. Our room was spacious and cosy, the beds were super confortable. The Onsen was amazing also. If you want to enjoy the complete ryokan experience, be sure to reserve the traditional meal before check-in as it's made on demand the same day with locals products (about 7000¥-8000¥ per person). It really worth it ! A complete Breakfast is included which is really a big + !

Nothing... Everything was way over the top !

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.

This is not a negative review, but a suggestion, the coffee bar could be open later than 9 am.

Onsen was in a natural setting. Very lovely.
