Ryokans in Asia

"This property was fine, not the best but not the worst. We had a cockroach in our room which was scary."

"All good!!"

"For those who are looking to luxuriate in the onsens of the Kii península… This is a place not to be missed. The cave onsens, especially, were both gorgeous and healing… The other ones perhaps a bit rundown, but still quite a treat. The staff were great (and multi-lingual) and my room was squeaky clean. Highly recommend "

"Excellent hospitality and a serene location. Felt truly rejuvenated at peace and at home here."

"Authentic Japanese experience "

"Very friendly staff and relaxing vibe"

"Fantastic service, great location, very helpful staff, beautiful Inn"

"First time staying with as a family of 3 with a young toddler. Half board included breakfast and dinner which was different for the 2 nights we stayed. Great rooms, clean and spacious. Hotel exterior was also very peaceful and nice. Staff were very friendly and spoke good English. Superb service. Will be back again!"

"Excellent service. Very traditional food. Perhaps worth considering would be a less traditional dinner option for foreigners. "

"Lovely stay at Yufuin. There is a free pick-up and drop-off options available from JR Yufuin Station which is a must unless you want to walk up crazy hills to get to the property. The room we stayed had traditional tatami mats and plenty of space to lounge around before enjoying hot springs. This property allowed us to book a private bath free of charge, and also the public bath that is open til late which was convenient. There is also free Japanese kimono that you can wear during your stay....

"The great experience of staying in a nice Ryokan, exceptional breakfast experience either western or Japanese depending on your preference. Great staff and service "

"Staff friendly but served by a trainee and is ok . Japanese cuisine good but will appreciate a little larger portion as I am ok but men may need some more "

"Great staff! Thank you Chikako San for your great hospitality!!"

"Loved staying here! The room was fantastic and the staff lovely and helpful. The public and private baths are worth staying for here alone. Great location for exploring the surrounding area as close to the station and local sightseeing bus"

"Excellent attention to detail and superb staff. Food exceptional; whole experience fantastic."

"Excellent location! Will come back again! The traditional breakfast set was delicious!"

"From the moment of pickup at the Ogoto Onsen station and dropoff, the service was flawless! Check-in is completed while seated in the lobby (rather than standing in queue) and many of the staff speak multiple languages. While the venue is slightly older, it is beautifully maintained and spotless. The 24 component kaiseki dinner is delicious and cheap considering the variety, gorgeous presentation and flavors. N.B. The kaiseki menu is only available in Japanese and even though I'm bilingual, I...

"This was such a special place to stay. We were looking for a relaxing spot to end our trip to Kyoto, and this was exceptional. The food and baths were especially lovely. It’s also walking distance from the monkey forest, which was so fun!"

"Great hot spas (there are 2 inside and also outdoor) and nice Japanese style room, with all the amenities. The staff is super nice and friendly, they even gave us a ride to the station, because taxi service was not available. Well worth the experience!"

"An hotel in the style of a traditional Ryokan, absolutely everything about Mikawaya was exceptional. The decor, rooms, public onsen, meals and staff were amazing. Although it is a little out of the way and up an incline, there are multiple frequent transport options and even a shuttle bus which can take you back and forth from Gora Station. When it was chucking it down with rain this was very convenient. The room was very spacious, comfortable and had all the amenities you could want. The...
