The town is worth it, and the hotel is nice
Reviewed By mfragozoWe loved the food, dinner and breakfast was delicious and vast. The public bath was OK, and the rooms were big and comfortable. The staff was very nice, although nobody could speak English. It didn't matter, as we managed. Compared to other public baths, this was not as great.

Kumano Kudo Kohechi Pilgrimage Trail
Reviewed By ymdsnowWe came off the Kumano Kudo Kohechi pilgrimage trail from a long day of hiking and were promptly picked up after contacting Nosegawa Onsen from a bus stop pay phone as instructed. Though the Onsen is a bit old and worn, our room was comfortable and clean. Cleaning up and bathing at the Onsen were wonderful treats after hiking all day. Meals were excellent, including one made especially for the vegetarian in our party.

A Family-Run, Warm, and Authentic Ryokan
Reviewed By mrlukasdedI stayed here with my mother and girlfriend for two nights, and we were all surprised by the bubbly and kind staff members. Everyone has their own strong personality, yet they are the same in the way they express hospitality and care for their guests. Yukawaya is a family-run business, and it’s history dates back many generations. Many generations that they have been learning the craft and passing it on to the next members of the family: such is the authenticity of traditional Japan. I especially enjoyed speaking with the grandmother, who despite her old age and tiny frame is always full of energy, making jokes, and wearing a smile. Meals here are delicious and express the local foods of Yoshino while delivering courses that never fail to surprise, sate, and fill your belly. Even the inside of the ryokan feels unique, with small circular hallways, beautiful decorations, and an attention to detail that can’t be missed. If there was one thing I wish was better, it would be that the bath is confined indoors and is not of an impressive size. Yet, it is a small sacrifice to make while staying at such a pleasant ryokan in the middle of such a beautiful town.

Beautiful location, lovely service, excellent food
Reviewed By Nik RWe staid at Totsukawa Kanko Hotel Sansui for two nights, as a typhoon had interfered with or hiking plans. And retrospect that was not a bad thing. We had a spacious room with our own hot spring tub. The food was lovely and plentiful. The service was excellent, unobtrusive but always helpful. We were offered pick up from the bus station and rides to the starting points for a day hike and our eventual walk to Hongu. Hot spring facilities are beautiful, with two private baths and men's and women's in and outdoor baths available. The place is remote and quiet, practically no noisy international tourists, great to relax. English is not spoken, but my we got by great on Mandarin. And finally the price is quite fair given what is offered. Also compared with other onsen we've visited since.

Traditional wooden Ryokan.All rooms attached shower toilet. Stand river side.Wide common hot spring bathroom you can get nice view.
Lovely stay with exceptionally warm family establishment
Reviewed By MarafatWe spent two nights as a party of six, spanning three generations. Accommodations were very comfortable and proper. The fact that the structure was not luxurious and impeccable meant it was more authentic and relaxed, making for a more pleasant experience compared to posher ryokans. And the food outshines more deluxe establishments: the dinners were impeccable and some dishes unforgettable. The water in this onsen is famous and terrifically tasty which must account for the taste of the food, but the very friendly cook --- the mum --- must be the genius behind the performance. The tall, elderly gentleman was exceedingly helpful and generous with his time though some knowledge of Japanese would probably be necessary to fully appreciate his tour of the village. He was excellent in guiding us to important spots in the Tenkawa area.

Great and recover stay
Reviewed By Phoenix YWe stayed one night due to the tight schedule. But this is absolutely great place to stay at least 2 nights. I traveled with three elder parents to explore around this area by driving. This hotel has over 500 years history but it has a new block refurbished . And it does not really feels like 500 years old at all. Clean and nice place for get yourself recover. Delicious and all local ingredients. All staffs are very cordial and smiley. Highly recommended. If you want to experience some local japanese onsen stay, this is gonna be a perfect stay for you.

Tub with a view!
Reviewed By SWKAWe visited during the Autumn when the trees were changing colours - this is a quiet time for Yoshino but well worthwhile - the mix of leaf colours and ancient temples was fantastic. It was so quiet we were the only visitors when we visited some of the oldest and most attractive temples. Hounkan Ryokan is located on Yoshino mountain, about 20 minutes walk (uphill) from the Yoshino Ropeway. The ryokan is easy to find and has a small car park (opposite and a few meters down the hill). The inn itself is relatively modern but is traditionally run with limited flexibility around eating times. The staff speak limited English but are very courteous and helpful. The reception also provides a written English language guide to the key facilities and activities available at the ryokan. We booked a room with an outside tub (highly recommended) and half board (breakfast and dinner). Our room was large with a small indoor terrace with views over Mount Yoshino. The view was fantastic especially from the (small) outdoor bath tub and separate bathroom. The room décor and furnishings were simple and traditional with a low table and cushions (with a backrest) during the day, replaced with large futons at night. The small terrace area also had two western style chairs, small table and fridge). It was a great place to relax at the end of the day. There are very pleasant onsen hot baths (two bathing areas alternating between males and females each day). The hotel provides everything you need for the baths, including robes and towels. The baths have all the shampoos and soaps you need. The food was excellent, half board is recommended as there are very few restaurants in the area at night, and you can also order wine, beer and sake with your meal. The meals are fixed menu with no choices, but you really don’t need choice as there are lots of dishes and some form of “cook your own” course (e.g. chicken on a grill or sukiyaki). The traditional breakfast was large and varied (but always included some form of grilled fish). The dining room setup was western style with tables and chairs. The highlight of this Ryokan is the opportunity to have a private bath tub overlooking the Yoshino mountainside. The round wooden bath is effectively outside as it sits on an open terrace with no windows obscuring you view, getting you as closed to nature as possible. Highly recommended.

Traditional but, convenient ...
Reviewed By Vanessa YIt was a special occasion for us, so we chose "Momo-no-ma", a spacious room on the second floor, with it's own private onsen bath overlooking the garden. The room was very clean and consisted of three rooms, with a separate toilet and tiny bathroom, before the "rotenburo". The wooden "rotenburo" (outside bath) was excellent - you can adjust the temperature by yourself. We asked for a late check out (one hour for an extra 1000 yen) which gave us an extra soak in the tub, after brekkie. It's perfect for relaxing. The "onsen" water feels very silky so, it must be good for a lady's complexion! We had an early dinner (6 or 6:30 p.m.) downstairs in a private room (it's off season, so it wasn't crowded). The food was just the right amount and each dish had their own unique taste. Everything is beautifully displayed; all of the ingredients are fresh and locally grown. The quality and taste were good. We choose the "kamo-nabe" (duck hot pot) as our main dish and although such game is usually tough, the special blend of miso taste complimented it very well. We had "zo-sui" (with added rice and egg to the hot pot, afterwards - udon noodles are another choice), which was really delicious. The staff pretty much leave you to your own devices ... Breakfast has two time slots - 8 or 8:30 a.m. and it was just as good as dinner. It may be hard for some who don't like eating fish for brekkie, but the various types of tofu dishes are good. The inn itself is very old and well-looked after; the decor is traditional for the most part. In the evening, the lanterns outside are turned on and add to the traditional atmosphere of the town. It must be very hard to maintain such a building but, it still has all of the modern conveniences - like a fridge with complimentary drinks; TV; hotwater dispenser; a bit of a noisy heater (that you can't turn off); hair-dryer; washlet toilet etc., in the room we chose. The traditional feel to the inn's atmosphere is great. I took so many photo's just wandering around ... There are two "onsen" baths downstairs (one for men and women - and they switch at midnight) and as they don't have any windows, they do feel a bit claustrophobic. They have another private bath upstairs, outside, that you can use freely (just lock the door behind you). It overlooks the garden which is lovely. It's cozy for two. The only slightly disappointing part was how the staff handled things. The service is average. They explained everything well - about the facility; meals; baths etc. They speak Japanese casually (and if you can't speak the lingo, they use body language, they said). We had to drive our car to the carpark ourselves, which is far away (at Ryusenji Temple) as they don't have a valet service, like so many places do. They never smiled and they seem to disappear quickly. They're a young family business (so, you can hear them arguing sometimes), and they dressed very casually ... which is a shame, as such impressions count for the entire "onsen" experience. Overall, it's a fantastic traditional inn and we'd like to go back, one day.
