Authentic Ryokans In Hokujo

"Hallways smelt poorly, carpets are stained throughout the facility. We got the 4 person japanese room (only 2 in the room) and it was adeqaute for us. Outdoor tub included with room can only hold two people, food included with half board was buffet style and wasn't very good, however had a decent selection of western, japanese and chinese cuisines."

"No wifi inside the room! How come? No cold water in the bathroom, only hot water..... asked to pay for the hot spring entrance but I was not told when booking! "

"おかみさんが面白い方でした。 ただ、お風呂がぬるっとしたり、予約内容を忘れられてたりしましたので、細かい事を気にされる方にはお勧めしません。"

"The hospitality of the hosts were amazing! The food offered was delicious and the onsen was clean, safe and great."

"We really enjoyed our stay, the onsen was amazing after skiing everyday. The rooms were so cozy with very comfortable beds. "

"Loved it! Authentic and comfortable. Great location. Great hosts! "

"Great spot away from the busy Tokyo area. The rooms and the hotel is special in its own way and has a lot of character. Felt like being in my grandparents home. Really enjoyed staying here and it made it incredibly easy to walk to and from the train station to get bus tickets. Would definitely tell friends to stay here in the future. "

Onsen var fin, men for noen som ikke har prøvd en onsen før var det litt vanskelig å vite hvordan man skulle følge reglene. Frokosten var flott presentert og satt opp, men smakte ikke all verdens. Lokasjonen var langt unna alt annet."

"食事の際に飲みものを注文したがなかなか来なかったのが残念でした"

"Not worth it. Way over priced! We stayed one night. Staff are very nice. But the place is of a by gone era. It’s old but not in a charming way. Showers in the onsen are cold and you have to wait for many minutes in order for hot water to come out. The rooms and elevators are old. the outdoor hotspring is on the top floor with no facilities (you have to go downstairs first and shower) and no real view to speak of. The location is on the main drag which is nice. But it should be 1/2 the...

"Clean and warm rooms with great hotel facilities, amazing hospitality."
