Really beautiful hostel, we had a private river view room and it was fantastic. Futons were comfortable and we had a private sink and fridge. The area is lovely and easy to walk from the station. The onsen was fantastic, very spacious and clean, we wish we’d stayed longer.

Staying at K's House is an experience in itself! I highly recommend staying at a riverside room. Love the tatami mats, the truly japanese feel, the location, and the beautiful views.

Nothing, it was awesome.

Very typical and cosy Riokan, exceptionally well maintained structure with very kind and helpful staff. You can either overnight in the dorms or in private rooms. Public and private Onsen available.

コスパがよかった。温泉もいいです。

部屋が古いのでそれなりに古い匂いがした。

雰囲気が良かった。4階の塔に上ったが、そこの絵はちょっと雰囲気にそぐわなかった。温泉は気持ちよかった。

Overall, the stay was nice. We stayed only for one night, as we were planning to go hiking the next day. Our room was spacious, very clean with its own toilet and shower, as well as little “indoor balcony” area with a lovely view of river. Onsen is really nice too.

In the evening of check in, we received a message saying that we can only check in until 9pm and it would be impossible to check it afterwards, which sent us into a panic mode right away. We were on the way from Tokyo by car and since we got stuck at work and traffic, our ETA was around 10pm. After we called the property, we were told late check in is possible after all. All communication was done in English and it seemed a bit passive aggressive with a couple of “NOT” in capital letters, which I am personally a big fan of. We were also told, that we can’t leave the property until 8am in the morning, because they need to do a proper check in. Fortunately, it had been raining since morning that day, so we ditched our hiking plans, but it would definitely mess up our day itinerary. Apart from that, there are several signs of what you can and cannot do all over the common space area. I do understand that they have a lot of foreign guests who are not familiar with ryokan etiquette, but it does disturb the vibe a little bit (but that’s only my personal preference)

The building is old and has many shared spaces to relax. The onsen is INSIDE and is very convenient to access whenever you want it. The place is right on the river which provides easy access to a lovely walking trail. The walk to public transit is short, and the train station is about 10 minutes away. If you have the chance i recommend staying here and taking a bus into the mountains for hiking. Then return to soothe yourself in the onsen.

Creaky floors and the doors jam. The beds are also uncomfortable in my opinion.

The historical building, the amazing friendly staff, the location, the VIEW - and the price!!!
