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…

Nice quiet place, No one in onsen and had it alone. Water was just right at 40 degrees Celsius. Breakfast was not crowded at all, very few people around, very pleasant, river and trees next to windows. Great view of river and mountains from room. Small hotel. Drinks were available all day and evening. Water cooler tanks available on each floor. Very reasonable price for large room.

Great place. As billed. Food was meh. Onsen was fantastic. If you’re a guy, you get access to a big barrel sauna. If you’re a gal, you’re out of luck—their culture, their rules. Nice place though. Great rooms, any amenities you can imagine available for use—robes, slippers, air purifiers, humidifiers, even little bitty crocs for kids. Good location, short stroll to Kozenji Temple. Overall I’d recommend it.

Japanese style inn with foreign friendly features

Great location for exploring Kiso Valley and the Nakasendo Trail. Hotel is Japanese style with Onsen and tatami rooms, but also private baths and western amenities. Great view of the local river from most or all rooms.

Great place to stay in Kiso!

Low key ryokan with onsen. Big rooms, good breakfast, nice amenities, and free drinks all day. Comfortable and welcoming. Great value for your money! Highly recommend.

Decent stay. Staff was very nice. Indoor Osen was pleasant. Rooms had a gorgeous view, but bed was not very comfortable. Good stop for Nakasendo trail, but expensive for what it is in my opinion.

This hotel surpassed expectations from a service and amenities standpoint. It was easy to find and there were plenty of dining options nearby. We had a family of 6 split into 2 rooms and they were kind enough to provide 2 rooms that were beside each other for us.

This is such a unique opportunity to stay in a real Japanese household. The owner didn't speak much English but with a help of phone translation we could figure out everything. The place is a bit away so we had a person in tourist office to call and the owner picked us up and next day drop us off. We received dinner and a breakfast and food was very tasty. This is not for fancy folks but for someone who is looking for a good rest and a unique experience. You only can book it through a tourist office in town.
