The building and interior feel a bit dated, but everything was clean overall, which was nice. As for the room, I’d like to see a bit more effort with cleaning the toilet… It wasn’t dirty, but while it looks fine from above, there were some dark stains visible from the side. I’d like it to be scrubbed thoroughly with foaming cleaner and a brush. Also, about the tea cups—I'd be happy if there were mugs instead of teacups. The Onsen and the breakfast on the top floor were exceptional! If you stay here, I definitely recommend adding breakfast.

I stayed for one night with my elderly parents. The Onsen was, of course, wonderful—we stayed warm right up until bedtime. We were also able to bathe in the Onsen at affiliated Hotels and in the public baths, so we could truly enjoy Naruko’s famous hot springs. It was absolutely fantastic. At the buffet dining venue, my elderly father has back problems, so carrying a tray and serving himself while standing between other guests in line seemed like it would be a challenge. However, there were carts to place trays on, which allowed him to serve himself without bothering others and move around comfortably. We also loved the wide variety of options and the fun of choosing from them—my father was very happy as well. One disappointing point is that it likely depends on how many guests there are that day, but quite a few dishes—including desserts—were marked as “available until gone.” In the latter half of service, even if portions were smaller on smaller trays or plates, I hope the same selection as at opening time could be kept available. We would like to stay again as a family with my father.

We stayed here after visiting Kamikochi. The private open-air baths were simply outstanding. At least one was always available at any time. You do need to change footwear and walk outside, but it was much closer than we expected. There are three baths, and all of them are spacious with great views. You can adjust the water flow, so you can make it hotter or cooler as you like. The free-flowing natural hot spring water was excellent. The service style was just right for us, as we could relax and spend time at our own pace. We would definitely like to stay again.

Traveling with my two lively daughters, I’m sure we caused some inconvenience at times, but this was such a wonderful Accommodation that we’re certain to return. Above all, the staff were outstanding!! From the warm welcome, everything—breakfast, the private Onsen, Suiran Delight, and the rickshaw Shuttle Service—became a wonderful memory. Our 10-year-old eldest daughter was truly moved and said she’ll definitely work hard so we can stay here every year (lol). We will be back again. Thank you very much.

An early Father’s Day gift: an Onsen trip! He was really happy to relax and take his time enjoying both the Onsen and the meals, and I was glad to see him so pleased.

We arrived around 5:30 pm, and everyone was hungry, so we asked if dinner could be served from 6:30 pm, and they kindly accommodated our request. First, the bath. The facilities were very clean, including the changing area. Dinner had many dishes and was delicious. A young man was in charge of our table; although he seemed a bit inexperienced at times, we appreciated his sincere, hardworking attitude. The next morning, we all enjoyed another bath and then had a delicious breakfast with a wide variety of dishes. We used the local bus both ways. On the way there, we took a bus that arrived about five minutes late due to rain from the nearby bus stop, but when it passed in front of the inn, the staff waved to us—everyone was truly touched. It was a warm and welcoming place to stay. Thank you very much.

Flawless in every way. We stayed for one night with two adults and our dog. The room was spacious and well stocked with amenities. All staff were calm and professional, and we were allowed to enter the building while carrying our dog. We had no complaints about the large public bath or the changing area. The entire property was very clean, and many areas have been renovated and look beautiful. We could enjoy the De’Longhi coffee in the lounge at any time, and it was delicious. The souvenir shop had a great selection of items. Guests with dogs dine in private rooms separated by partitions, but the hospitality was perfect. There were many dishes, with unlimited rice refills. Alcoholic drinks and soft drinks were very reasonably priced, with a wide variety available. For both dinner and breakfast you can choose your dining time, and the staff welcome you warmly. There wasn’t a single disappointing point—this stay exceeded its price in every way. Our dog also had no restrictions or inconveniences, making it extremely comfortable (amenities, treat service, dog run, dining together, Child Sharing Existing Bedding, etc.). It was cool even in summer, and we loved the surrounding scenery and environment as well. We will definitely stay again.

Savor a delicious dinner as you take in the breathtaking view of the sun setting over the Sea of Japan.

I was able to relax and take it easy. I stayed in the South Wing, which was a bit far from the Onsen, but I enjoyed getting there using the inclined elevator. The Facility felt a bit old, but I think that also adds to the Onsen atmosphere. What stood out most was how delicious the vegetable dishes at the buffet were. The roast beef and crab were great too, but above all, the vegetables were excellent and very satisfying. The staff greeted me every time we passed each other, which made my stay very comfortable. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

Conveniently located near the station and ideal for sightseeing. The breakfast rice balls were outstanding. The buffet-style dinner was delicious and offered a wide variety, including tempura fried right in front of you and hegi soba. The open-air bath in summer felt wonderfully spacious, with beautiful scenery—it was very relaxing.

We stayed for one night as a family. The Facility was even more satisfying than we had imagined based on the Reviews. Check-in and check-out were very smooth, and the staff were also very kind and helpful. We stayed in the Kaede Wing Room. Getting there was a bit complicated, but the Room was clean. Compared with the Satsuki Wing, there was a slight smell, but it wasn’t strong enough to bother us during our stay. The amenities were minimal with nothing unnecessary— only towels and toothbrushes. There were no snack trays, and only tea was provided with the electric kettle. My mother, who came with us, seemed to find it a little lacking, but since we could enjoy free ice cream, drinks, and alcohol in the lounge, I didn’t feel it was lacking at all. I wish the buffet had offered a few more items. Our child was looking forward to dessert, but there weren’t many options and they seemed disappointed. Other than the meals, there were plenty of Facilities to enjoy inside for a full day, and we made great memories playing table tennis and enjoying the lounge and kids’ park.

I stayed here with my elderly mother. We were able to relax and recover in the Onsen (I went in five times), and the buffet was delicious—I ended up eating too much and was very satisfied. My mother especially loved the live-kitchen steak at dinner and the udon at breakfast, and she ate a lot. The Room was even cleaner than we expected, and my mother was happy that she could rest well. We are grateful to all the staff for their kindness. And thank you as well to the robot vacuum that was working early in the morning. I thought this might be our last long trip together, but I would love to stay here again.

This was my third stay here, and it’s always one of the Accommodations I consider when visiting Takayama. Some parts of the building do show their age, and compared with newer Kyoritsu Resort properties like “Nono,” it does feel a bit dated. The beds in the guest rooms are a mattress placed on Ryukyu tatami, so they’re low to the floor and feel more like sleeping on thick futons. I’ve seen this style at other Accommodations as well, but personally I prefer a standard bed. The large public bath on the top floor has great views and an open, airy feel. However, the outdoor bath area is somewhat small, so it can be hard to use comfortably when it’s crowded. On the other hand, the three private baths are a major highlight unique to this Accommodation. In particular, “Azumanishiki,” located furthest inside, is outstanding in both size and view—easily one of the most satisfying private baths I’ve used. It seems some of the hinoki wood has recently been replaced, and I also enjoyed its pleasant aroma. It does get busy due to its popularity, but it’s still well worth using. Their signature late-night soba is still available as expected from Kyoritsu properties, and breakfast is Dormy Inn quality. There are plenty of menu items featuring local ingredients as well—I look forward every time to dishes like tomato gyudon and hoba miso. Given Takayama’s popularity, there are many international guests staying here. Also, with only two elevators for the number of rooms, wait times can feel long depending on the time of day. While there isn’t much new in terms of Facility updates, that also makes the Accommodation Fee very reasonable. With such a strong draw in its private baths, it’s easy to see why this place remains so popular. Once again, all staff were kind and pleasant in their service, making my stay very comfortable. Despite some aging Facilities here and there, it more than makes up for them with its charm—and I’d gladly stay again next time I visit Takayama.

I’m very satisfied that I was finally able to stay at Kyounso. Above all, I was able to enjoy the rich sulfur hot spring three times, and every meal was delicious—especially the char sashimi, which I don’t usually get to eat. I’d love to visit again. I regret returning home without properly expressing my gratitude to the staff.

Thank you very much for taking care of me during my stay. This was a solo trip to an Accommodation I had wanted to stay at for the past 15 years, and my wish finally came true. It’s been difficult to coordinate schedules with family and friends, so I was grateful that solo stays were possible. The beautiful Tateyama Mountain Range and fresh greenery were stunning. The sea is also appealing, but this time my main goal was to relax quietly and enjoy the Onsen. I chose this Accommodation expecting great cuisine and an Onsen experience—and it was absolutely the right choice! Delicious Toyama specialties that more than met my expectations, and I could truly feel the chef’s careful attention to detail. The view of the Tateyama Mountain Range from the in-room open-air bath, along with birdsong, was unforgettable. I was also deeply moved by the warm hospitality of the female staff in the restaurant. The entire property was clean and comfortable, and I slept soundly for the first time in a while. Next time, I would love to visit again with friends or family. Thank you very much.

The Onsen water was originally great, but when I stayed again after a long time, it had improved even more. It was already silky-smooth, but this time it also had a stronger sulfur feel and a milky-white appearance—absolutely wonderful. (Just my personal impression.) I don’t usually leave comments, but this was the best so far, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I would like to visit again. Thank you.

It’s a small, quiet Onsen town with very little to walk around and see. The Ryokan is quite old and it’s hard to call it spotless, but it’s a great place to relax in a laid-back rural setting. Each dish is carefully prepared, beautifully presented, and truly delicious—wonderful meals overall. The bath water also has its own distinctive character; I liked it as an Onsen. In summer they keep it at a lukewarm temperature, so you can soak for a long time. The owner and staff were friendly and genuinely kind.

Thank you for taking care of us during the Obon holiday period. The Accommodation is old, but it was kept very clean inside. The private bath was also very spacious and nice. What was disappointing was the way the meals were laid out and how cramped the space was. There was no space to set down a tray, so we couldn’t even use seasonings, and it was inconvenient to place small plates; I’d like to see some improvement. There wasn’t much soy sauce available either, and it seemed we had to wait in a long line just to get soy sauce on our plates. The display layout also made items hard to pick up—for example, udon next to ice cream—so everything felt scattered. It’s a shame because everything else was good.

The price was reasonable compared to others, and it was great that the Room had a private Onsen. However, there was an issue: the sewage smell was extremely strong, which was disappointing. The odor came up from under the bathroom doorway and from the sink, making me feel unwell, and that was very unfortunate. (Later, I received an email from the owner explaining the cause and apologizing, but I wish it had been checked and inspected before my stay.) Also, since this plan was No Meals Included, it would have been helpful to have aluminum foil, plastic wrap, and a measuring cup for the rice cooker. Because the Accommodation is located in the mountains, I recommend arriving during daylight hours. There is nothing around it, so it was very quiet. I would like to stay again.

This was my second stay after visiting Asahikawa. I stayed in a Room with a rock bath. The bath in the Room was very clean, and being able to use it 24 hours a day made it feel luxurious. The breakfast portion was just right, and next time we gather with relatives, I’d like to stay here again.
