"開業から年数が経っているようですが、定期的にメンテナンスされているようで綺麗な施設でした。スタッフの皆さんも気持ちいい対応をしていただき、食事もオリジナリティが溢れとても美味しかったです。立地的にも開放感がある場所で朝日が綺麗でしたね。車で行きましたので、公共交通機関で行かれる方のアクセスは分かりませんが、近くにバス停がありました。今回は早立ちの必要があり正規の朝食は食べることが出来ませんでしたが、おにぎりに変更の対応をしていただき、代わりに作っていただいたおにぎりがとても美味しかったです。この規模のペンションの中ではお風呂も綺麗で大きめだと思います。御嶽山への登山を目的に来年再度利用したいと思っています。"

Top Shimotono Hotel Reviews

ties Camp Ground

8/10 Good

"Interesting stay. Had fun lighting the fire and cooking our food over it."

BYAKU Narai

10/10 Excellent

"A real honor to be able to experience this ryokan ! The room had a private Onsen which was already full and ready for us to use when we arrived. Everything was clean and comfortable The food and breakfast also very delicious So lucky we got to stay here during our trip and we experienced Narai Juku before all tourists came to sight see . Certainly a highlight"

Kiso Mikawaya

10/10 Excellent

"Great place. As billed. Food was meh. Onsen was fantastic. If you’re a guy, you get access to a big barrel sauna. If you’re a gal, you’re out of luck—their culture, their rules. Nice place though. Great rooms, any amenities you can imagine available for use—robes, slippers, air purifiers, humidifiers, even little bitty crocs for kids. Good location, short stroll to Kozenji Temple. Overall I’d recommend it."

yama-niwa-INN - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was very clean and the staff were helpful in checking me in. I let them know in advance I would be late and they guided me. It was also useful to have a convenience store nearby."

Hotel Route Inn Court Ina

8/10 Good

"Perfectly adequate for our needs. No frills but usual amenities available, clean, and staff were helpful."

NOHOHON PARK Hida-Osaka (formerly Hida Osaka Fureai-no-mori)

10/10 Excellent

"The gentleman who manages the property was extremely helpful and accommodating. The property is beautifully located in a place surrounded by mountains. It’s a very peaceful and serene environment where you hear the birds and water flowing at night. Very lovely stay before heading to the city. Taxi’s exist between the Hida-Osaka train station and the campsite."

Onsen Lodge Watari

10/10 Excellent

"This place had the feel of a "best-kept-secret"; gem-of-a-find type place. Everything about staying there was fascinating. As the management, to their credit, explicitly warns on their listings, the structure is old and rustic. But this wasn't a deterrent in any way, it adds to the charm and they do an excellent job keeping it clean, well maintained and accommodating. As a westerner looking to explore some backwaters parts of Japan and stay in a traditional Onsen ryokan that is not a tourist trap, this was the perfect best-of-both-worlds fit. The manager spoke good English and was helpful so that there was no confusion or culture shock, but none of the authenticity was compromised. I would certainly stay there again, even go out of my way again - drive up to the mountains - in order to stay there if overnighting en route to or from Tokyo southward."

Nukumorino-yado Komanoyu

10/10 Excellent

"It was such a wonderful, peaceful experience to be able to see another side of Japan. The rooms were big and spacious, the food was excellent, and the staff were so kind!"

Guesthouse Hoshizora no Akari

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and good facilities!"
