"I had a great stay, the host is super nice.
Just Keep in mind that she does live downstairs so for people who want complete intimacy it might not be the right place but for me It was perfect. It felt like a homestay.
The room was clean, large and cozy.
The breakfast was delicious and homemade.

"If you want a traditional Japanese experience and get away from the main towns, then this hotel is for you. Yes, you can take the Western rooms, but the Japanese rooms will give you a better local vibe. If you take the breakfast and dinner option, then be prepared not to eat anything else. They supply yukata's and belts and you'll feel more comfortable being in traditional garb. It's a slog out and back to Matsumoto, so just make that a one-off day trip. Hirayu is much closer (15-mins) now the tunnel is open, but that only really swings in peak season. There are walks everywhere. For the more adventurous the start of one of the Mt Yuke Duke (volcano) walks is about 20 mins away on the old 158. It's a 7 hour round trip up and down. Plan to start at say 7-8am. Parking is limited, but they will always find you a spot and bring your car to you."
"This place had the feel of a "best-kept-secret"; gem-of-a-find type place. Everything about staying there was fascinating.
As the management, to their credit, explicitly warns on their listings, the structure is old and rustic. But this wasn't a deterrent in any way, it adds to the charm and they do an excellent job keeping it clean, well maintained and accommodating.
As a westerner looking to explore some backwaters parts of Japan and stay in a traditional Onsen ryokan that is not a tourist trap, this was the perfect best-of-both-worlds fit. The manager spoke good English and was helpful so that there was no confusion or culture shock, but none of the authenticity was compromised.
I would certainly stay there again, even go out of my way again - drive up to the mountains - in order to stay there if overnighting en route to or from Tokyo southward."
"We spent 2 nights in our first visit to Kiso-Fukushima and we had a wonderful time at this onsen. The staff were extremely helpful and kind. The breakfast and dinner were great as well. If you’re looking for a down to earth experience I’d suggest this Onsen. We will be back…"
"We absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful hotel.
The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable — a perfect place to relax and unwind. The meals were truly exceptional and among the most special dining experiences we had during our trip.
The hotel is located in a charming little town that feels almost as if it were taken straight out of a movie. The atmosphere, surroundings, and attention to detail made our stay feel very special.
A beautiful and memorable experience"
"From the very start to the very finish of our stay, my family and I felt so very welcomed. The hotel was extremely clean and orderly. This particular hotel is very cozy. The onsen bath/ ofuro was extremely relaxing, clean, and refreshing. The staff are above and beyond professional and extremely courteous. We will definitely come back to stay at this hotel. We highly recommend this hotel after a long day of hiking and sightseeing."
"Our experience with this hotel was overall good! Staff was kind and friendly, facilities were a little dated and the lighting inside the room needs updating, pure white light is not the most pleasant, however the traditional Japanese bedroom experience was very cool! Breakfast was also awesome! That alone made this experience super cool!"
