Guest Houses in Japan

"Awesome experience for my first trip to Japan. Wish I booked another night or two"

"In one word…stunning. An experience not to be missed. I don’t know where to begin with my praise-the staff, the facilities or the food? All impeccable. The staff made us feel like their most special and honored guest anticipating every need. The facilities are amazing. Room was beautiful as was the view of the mountains. Finally the food. Wow. The most delicious, delicately prepared food. A true experience. I bravely ate sashimi for the first time and enjoyed the pen shell! All dishes were...

"Beautiful property with kind staff. We got to see cherry blossoms and the sunrise from mountains from our room & onsen bathtub! Amazing experience "

"We had such an amazing stay at Bettei Haruki! The girl who served us was so attentive and showed us such warm welcome. Kaiseki meal was unforgettably delicious and the room was so comfortable. I will definitely recommend anyone to stay here!"

"Fantastic hotel located in a quiet neighborhood. Close to bus stops that make traveling to central Kyoto easy. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Rooms were tidy and comfortable."

"This was a secure ryokan with only 3 rooms on the top floor. We could store our luggage there before our check in and for a few hours after checkout, which was really helpful. Toilet upstairs near the room but shower in the onset area (spa not traditional onset). But noisy with creaky floor at night. Smell of sewage in room at night, but not too strong and mitigated by use of aircon all night for ventilation. Overall it was a really nice stay, with gorgeous breakfast (self made but ingredients...

"Pros: Good value. Spacious rooms. Relatively large beds. Quiet area. Easy, ample parking. Hotel connected to a convenience store. Good free breakfast. Walking distance to Amaterasu train attraction. Cons: A bit further away from Takachiho Gorge, about 5min drive. No view from hotel. Laundry was a bit expensive, had to buy detergent from the front desk separately from the laundry machine fee. "

"Convenient location, very well keep property, the pictures of the rooms don’t do it justice."

"Beautiful friendly people, great breakfast with very good sized rooms. Well considered services for a very comfortable stay. "

"Exceptional staff. The area around is safe and there is walking access to most anything you may want, even The Golden Arches for those less adventurous."

"The proprietor Taro-san was very kind and understanding, as well as his partner. However, the rooms were exceedingly hot, the air conditioning wasn't working properly, the laundry machine (particularly the drier) wasn't working properly, and the overall experience was lacking. The proximity to transit and the nearby convenience store was amazing, and the proprietor was fine, but the facilities left a gap in the experience that couldn't be mended."

"Service was excellent, rooms and facilities were kept clean. Didn't need to wait to use the facilities. Basic and small but excellent location and friendly helpful staff! First room was noisy as it was on the main road but the window didn't seem to close properly or offer sufficient sound proofing. "

"Quiet rooms with basic cooking facilities. Ability to book private onsen time, with open air options."

"Stunningly clean and quiet, owners are lovely and ever so friendly. Rooms come with air-con and adjustable lighting (which was great as I suffer light sensitivity) bathroom and bathing area cleaned every single morning without fail, to a professional standard. "

"The staff were amazing and extremely helpful. Provided what we needed at request. We wish was that in them knowing we had a vehicle, that they were able to direct us to a nearby parking lot with affordable pricing. The signs are confusing at times. We ended up paying ¥3400 the first night for overnight parking and ¥6100 the second night in the nearby lots. Other than that, the room was clean except a little black mold near the AC unit. Deep. cleaning could be better. Happy with our 2 night stay...

"The staff service is superb!"

"Good place, clean with neceesary amenities. The wall is thinner so we could hear people in the next room. Having a little difficult with self check in but over all is good. Only 3 minuts walking distance from bus station."

"The beds in this capsule hotel are really big and comfy. The only thing that I would recommend to them is the provision of wet sanitizing tissue to clean the toilet sitting before use. It is a public restroom so sanitation must be a priority. Apart from that I will recommend it to friends and travellers on the go."

"The onsen is amazing. "

"Property was cute and had good location. Clean, comfortable rooms and shared bathroom facilities."
