Gojō Station (Nara Prefecture) × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan

We stayed here to visit Mount Koya. The meals were delicious, and desserts and drinks were all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. The bath water was soft, and everything was excellent.

After enjoying rafting nearby, we stayed overnight. The Room was a spacious Japanese-style room, and we were able to relax comfortably. We had a breakfast-only Plan, so we had dinner at the Hotel restaurant. Since we made a Reservation at check-in, even though it was fully booked that day, we were seated smoothly. The baths are in a separate building behind the Hotel, and we also enjoyed the open-air bath. When we go rafting again, we’d like to stay at this Hotel! Thank you very much!

This is the only accommodation located in Kanau, famous for its connection to the "Taiheiki." The accommodation accepts only 1-2 groups per day. The building was originally a residence of a local noble family and served as a temporary palace for the Southern Court, which resisted the Northern Court. It has been renovated into a hotel and restaurant, offering guests a unique opportunity to experience history by staying in what was once an imperial residence. While the facilities and meals may not match those of luxury hotels, the owner, who comes from a long-standing noble family that has protected this area for generations, can share fascinating stories about medieval history upon request. Adjacent to the accommodation is a museum, and nearby on higher ground lies the tomb of Kitabatake Chikafusa. However, there are no other major tourist attractions in this area. This accommodation serves as a base for those wishing to explore Kanau's serene countryside. Please note that transportation is very limited; while there are buses from JR Gojo Station, they run only a few times per day. We recommend checking bus schedules carefully before planning your visit.

I stayed here for one night with my two children and my mother before visiting my mother’s family home. We planned to find a nice place to eat on the way, so we didn’t need meals, and this Hotel was perfect. The inside was much more spacious than you would imagine from the outside, and our family was able to relax comfortably. The occasional sound of passing trains added a nice atmosphere, and otherwise it was truly quiet with no other noise at all. In Hotels or Ryokan, voices and sounds from next door often carry a lot, but this place was very comfortable in that respect. When we had an issue during our stay, they replied quickly by email; even without meeting in person, their service felt pleasant and trustworthy. There are plenty of useful shops nearby as well, and I would like to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

My husband chose this place after reading Reviews, saying he preferred it to a Hotel. We didn’t meet the Accommodation staff in person; we communicated only by smartphone. I was surprised by that system, but although we stayed just one night, the Room was simple and clean, spacious and stylish, with a wonderful view outside—perfect for relieving our fatigue. My husband said it was “so relaxing,” and he was very satisfied. I felt the same. We’re glad we chose this place.

As I prefer sleeping on a futon in a Japanese-style room, I was able to relax and sleep very comfortably. I went hiking the next day, so it really helped that I could get a good rest. The bath, toilet, and washbasin were clean and felt just like home, which was great. I would love to stay here again.

Just a short walk from the station, with a convenience store right in front, in an easy-to-find location. The Room was compact but very clean and comfortable. Since payment is made in advance, checkout was easy. In terms of value for money, I’d rate it 4. Thank you for your hospitality.
