This hotel was the highlight of our Japan Trip. We loved experiencing a traditional Ryokan. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The onsen at the hotel was a great experience as well. We loved how Kaori hosted us for the Kaiseki dinner at our room. It was very interesting to try all the traditional dishes from Japan.

Nishimuraya Honkan was one of the most incredible hotels I've stayed at, a real highlight in our trip to Japan. The room was fantastic as were the hotel facilities (which include a great onsen) and the team too. The kaiseki dinners in the room were utterly incredible and the Japanese breakfast each day was a delight. We loved it.

The staff was incredible at this gorgeous property. A superb multi course dinner and breakfast were served in our room each day. The room also includes a pass to all the public onsen, but the hotel also has two Onsen for guests. I was the only one using them when I went. We hated to leave, and plan to return. I give this hotel the highest marks.

Deserving of its Stellar Reputation

Wonderful stay. Friendly, professional and accommodating staff from the moment we drove up to the property to when we depart. The staff even helped to sort out our luggage delivery to the next accommodation in another city. Our hostess Matsuri was sweet, polite and gracious. The property itself is beautiful and exudes an old-world charm, and our room with in-room onsen is such a treat. The meals we had were also delicious and thoughtfully prepared and presented. We had a lovely time at Nishimuraya Honkan and hope to return again.

BOOK THIS HOTEL! Loved our stay and totally worth the 2.5 hour train ride from Osaka. Was able to check in promptly at 3 p.m. and our bags were whisked away to our room. We immediately received our onsen pass and were able to get in a bath before our kaiseki dinner. The next morning we were able to explore more of the public baths and had an amazing breakfast. The town shops open around 11 a.m. so you can really get away with one overnight stay if not more. Beautiful property, relaxing stay and a nice option to visit a tattoo friendly onsen town

The premises were absolutely gorgeous and tranquil. The room attendant Mr. Koyama’s hospitality was excellent. Having been living away from Japan, for too long, I cannot judge the Kaiseki cuisine… it did look very beautiful… I was hoping a little more of the crab in season. I wished I could have stayed an extra day or two. Thank you!

大変心地良い滞在ができました。 事前に連絡をいただき、現地到着予定や朝食内容、時間の確認などを行いリクエストも気兼ねなくお伝えすることができました。 当日は雨模様で、チェックイン前にも関わらず急なお願いにも対応していただき助かりました。 チェックイン後も居室やラウンジ、大浴場でゆったり優雅な時間を過ごせました。素晴らしいお庭も部屋から散策できるようになっており、至れり尽くせりでした。スタッフ、施設とも歴史ある名旅館の名に相応しいサービスだと思います。 お食事も素晴らしく、外湯めぐりでの食べ歩きをするお腹の余裕がありませんでした。 是非再訪したいです。

Prix très élevé mais établissement dont le service est impeccable! Repas inclus très "fancy" comprenant des aliments qui ne plaisent pas à tout le monde. On doit aussi s'attendre à dormir sur un matelas par terre, ce qui n'est pas idéal pour les personnes âgées ou celles dont le sommeil est léger.

さすが老舗と言われるほどの旅館でした。宿は古いですがサービスが行き届いていて、すごく素敵な日を過ごせました。 私が泊まった部屋は、部屋から庭に出ることが出来るのですが、他の人に庭から部屋の中まで見れてしまうので注意が必要です。あと、自販機が宿にないので購入していくことを勧めます。

部屋はもちろん大浴場も常に綺麗でした。朝食は洋食と和食をいただきました。どちらも美味しかったですが、やはり和食の方が宿的にも推しなのか、品数など力が入っているように思います。迷うなら、和食がオススメです。妊娠後期に宿泊したのですが、帰りにお守りをくださいました。ホスピタリティに溢れた素敵なお宿です。価格的に気軽に泊まれないですが、機会があればまたぜひ泊まれたらと思います。

What was good: - Probably the ultimate Japanese ryokan experience, in a 150 year old inn. - staff generally very friendly and helpful - quality of food is very good What could be better: - Very expensive for what it is - Rooms are fairly basic - be prepared to be woken up early as the beds are taken away by 8am

it was the best ryokan experience ever could be imagine! Service is outstanding. The staff deal with us, westerners, in the most gracious manner possible explaining things about which we were ignorant. Food was great. Rooms and the garden are beautiful. It is an expensive property but it worths every penny of it.
