Best ryokan ever

We stayed in this ryokan for a family trip. The city is unknown to non-Japanese people, but the people at the ryokan were so kind and helpful. Sometimes it was not easy to communicate as their English was not the best, but they tried their best to help. The meals were awesome, and the bath places were great as well. We were totally satisfied and I strongly recommend this place.

We had an excellent 2 night stay at Tamaya. We were collected and dropped off at Bessho Onsen train Station. All staff were wonderfully helpful despite our lack of Japanese language. The meals were fantastic and varied (different meals for breakfast and dinner each day). Our room was very comfortable with Western beds and a seating area. We spent a day exploring temples in the area- note that very few shops, cafes or restaurants were open on a Monday.
