Very friendly owner and staff. Dietary restrictions(vegan) were greatly accommodated. Helped us warm up the food we brought with us.

Short walk to the Geibikei Gorge. The staff were very helpful, the room was comfortable and warm. Some of the facilities seem quite old, but the bathroom and toilet appeared to be recently renovated. Loved our stay!

A very rural feeling and environment. Close proximity to Geibi Gorge. Piece and quiet. Good restaurant nearby

Nothing

Absolutely perfect. Exceeded my expecations. Exactly what I wanted. Breakfast was exceptional.

Very nice ryokan style room, nice toilet and room decoration. Staffs are really nice.

The rooms are a little bit too cold during the winter.

We loved the traditional Japanese ryokan style where we slept on futon in a tatami room. The food was delicious and included amazing sashimi at every dinner. The staff made great efforts to also make Japanese meals that my five-year-old son would eat and enjoy. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The surroundings are extremely beautiful with the caves and Gebikei Gorge worth a visit. There are also other nice things to see like the castle and pokemon train (you need to book this in advance as it is small and busy). Having some Japanese language is very useful, but everyone also spoke English to us which we appreciated so much. Thank you!

Visitors should be aware that the trains aren't very regular to the town so to be careful to plan. Around New Year some places (like restaurants) are closed so take care to plan if there is something you want to visit.

10mins walk from Geibikei JR. Quiet corner of the street. 10mins go Geibikei Gorge boat ride area. In all, I would think not worth staying in Geibikei area, not much to see apart from the Gorge, which u can do a one day trip.

Bit old and small, Unstructured furnitures here and there.

We booked two rooms… a twin and a triple for our family of 5. We chose half board to include breakfast and dinner for our stay. This was based off the reviews saying that dinner was a “must do”. The Japanese dinner was amazing! (Note: if you book “children” in your booking, the people under 18 receive a different meal to the adults- see picture). And the staff were super friendly. The Japanese breakfast with a side of sausages and scrambled eggs was great too. As it was my husbands birthday, I had previously enquired about a small cake for breakfast. The hotel was able to fulfil this request (a little bit extra ¥). The rooms were spacious and comfortable. A deep bath and shower room with seperate toilet and an extra seating area at the back of the room.

Everything was great! My only complaint was that the triple room had a definite smell of cigarette smoke. I did specifically book two non-smoking rooms. My teenage kids said they were fine with the smell, so we didn’t complain or request a room change. The twin room was fine.
