Amazingly peaceful family run place
We love this little place in the mountains in Yoshino - the family / the lady in charge is absolutely wonderful and super hard working. It’s our second stay at this lovely inn and we will come back. Ps please note that check in is strictly at 3pm and if you want their lovely dinner you have to pre book. Highly recommended!

Stunning location, stylish and comfortable interior. Even the futons were comfortable and exceeded our expectations! The evening meal was exceptional by any standards - beautifully presented and quite simply delicious. The staff were always friendly and attentive and we would recommend this Ryokan without hesitation.

Rustic log cabin style Ryokan
Great experience after a communication issue at the beginning. It is worth noting that in low season most restaurants in Yoshino will be closed or wil close early, so plan to eat at your Ryokan for all breakfast & dinner meals. The meals prepared at Ryokan Kato were excellent, a real experience in local cuisine. Having breakfast across that road in their seperate restaurant with excellent views across the valley started the day nicely. We were fortunate to have the hot baths to ourselves which were great after a long day of dragging our kids up the hills of Yoshino. We loved the sitting/reading area with the swing hanging from the ceiling and the traditional lamps, very relaxing. Yoshino is worth the extra train rides and Kato was perfect for us. Thank you.

Fantastic location, very comfortable stay.
This hotel was extremely comfortable and good value. The location was fantastic for us, as we arrived and left Hiroshima by train and did 2 day trips using the train, so being right next to the station was amazingly convenient. Lots of shops nearby too. Very comfortable room, not bad size for Japan, and with every amenity you could ask for...toothbrushes, hairdryer, TV, Wi-Fi, kettle, fridge. Really good. Would love to go back sometime.

Beautiful Peaceful Japan Experience
This is a traditional Japanese ryokan. If you want a true Japanese experience this is the place. The owner seems to predict your every need ahead of time. The indoor and outdoor mineral baths are beautiful and healing. The restaurant serves a five star traditional Japanese dinner that is one of the finest and most beautifully served meals I have ever had. It is located in a rather remote area in the mountains, accessible by train, and is on a world heritage pilgrimage route, filled with temples and shrines at every turn in the woods of trees and bamboo. This is truly a magical place.

Un petit peu difficile d'accès (15/20 minutes de montée depuis la gare), inconvénient largement compensé par un cadre magnifique. Ryokan atypique, expérience inoubliable !

吉野山の絶景を堪能できる、和モダンな老舗旅館
吉野山の標高400mほどのところにあるので、絶景を楽しめます。改装した宿の内観はモダンで素敵な雰囲気でしした。大浴場も麦飯石や吉野銘石を使ってこだわったお風呂です。 地消地産の食事はとても美味しくて、満足しました。特に、宿のカフェからの絶景を眺めながらいただく朝食は、ここでしか味わえないものでしょう。 自然の中でゆっくりと過ごし、美味しい食事が楽しめる旅館でした。 サービスも暖かくて居心地が良かったです。

紅葉の時期、母と旅行に行くのに宿泊しました。夜遅いチェッインにもかかわらず、寒い中駅までお迎えに来てくださり、とても助かりました。 トイレは共同ですが、お風呂も含め水回りはよく手入れされていてきれいです。（水回りはリフォームされたのでしょうか⁉︎）お部屋は歴史を感じる佇まいでしたが、とても居心地よくリラックスできました。

幽静又方便的山中旅舍
作为此次关西之旅的第一站，可以说非常惊喜。位于吉野神社和商店街之间，是家族几代人经营的历史悠久的家庭旅馆。房屋是整体木制结构，内部空间设计非常漂亮，有壁炉的大玻璃房。街对面的餐厅能看到整个山景，非常美。客房是榻榻米和室，布置的很有传统特色。除了没有独立卫生间，夜里要开门出去大厅有点害怕之外，都很方便。老板娘人很好，我到达当晚错过了晚饭时间，山里餐厅也都打烊了，她临时为我做了晚饭，虽然简单但是特别雪中送炭，第二天的早饭也是，而且最后退房时发现并没有额外收费。旅馆门前有停车位，有一条小路可以走到山下JR站，沿途无人且红叶很美。

気の付く女将のいる気持ちの良い旅館
宿泊のみの利用でしたが、ゆったりとしたロビーで冷たいお茶と葛で迎えていただき、とても良い感じでした。部屋は広く、一輪挿しが何気におかれていた。風呂は露天もあり気持ちよく使える。男女が朝と夜が交代するので注意。蔵王堂まで徒歩１０分ていどの位置にあり便利。駐車場は無料で使用できる。ホテルを出発するとき、コーヒーのサービスもあった。
