Jihyun, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a lovely 'boutique hotel' in an absolutely beautiful part of the area north of Nakanojo near Lake Okushima. I wanted a truly Japanese place and I got it. Few, if any, 'foreigners' in the area. I was provided a bike and road around for 3 hours. The owner is a beautiful, kind lady and her and her staff treated me like a king. I had a room with a private hot spring pool - all I can say is "wow". If you want to see a place off the beaten track, I highly recommend this hotel.

8/10 Very good

The property is very nice and calm. The staff was exceptionally nice and provided a good service. However our standard Japanese style room was a bit dark and the river was not visible due to trees.

お篭り宿

宿泊したのは去年リフォームされたばかりのスタイリッシュできれいなお部屋でした。ダイニングスペースとくつろげるスペースがあるのでとても快適に過ごすことができました。小物やお皿、家電などにこだわりを感じられました。 スタッフの方の対応も丁寧でしたし、食事もとても美味しくちょうど良い量でした。 温泉はシンプルですが、アメニティーなどで工夫が見受けられました。 お値段的に安くはないお宿ですが、お部屋から頼めるお酒の値段がお手頃なのは嬉しいポイントでした。周囲には何もないのでお篭りするにはいいかもしれません。

期待以上でした!

とても満足してます。 静かで落ち着ける隠れ家的な旅館です。 チェックインして、まず部屋にある半露天の風呂を満喫しましたが、とても良いお湯です。景色も最高です。夕食が美味しかったので、朝食も楽しみにしていましたが、期待以上でした。 従業員の方も、みなさん感じが良かったです。外国籍の従業員の方もいしたが、日本語も上手ですし、従業員教育がよく出来ている思います。 また四万温泉に訪れることがあれば、また泊まりたいです。

Excellent Ryokan in Nakanojo

Family of 2 adults and 2 kids (12 and 8 yrs old). The ryokan was lovely and the rooms were good sized and very nice, with outdoor bath and patio overlooking the river. The service was very attentive and the staff very polite. Dinner and breakfast was very delicious and way too much. We loved it.
