“melhor hospitalidade”

Devo mencionar que foram acompanhados pelo meu amigo japonês, e isso ajudou muito na nossa diversão geral ... na verdade, fomos informados pelo massagista (que veio ao nosso quarto por pedido) que ele só vê talvez um ou dois estrangeiros por ano! É uma pena que eu nunca descobri o quanto (ou como pouco) inglês foi realmente falado porque eu recomendo o lugar, o quarto, as refeições e a experiência como muito agradável!

“Exceeded expectations. Lovely onsen ryokan with close proximity to Mt Zao”

We stayed here for 1 night during Golden Week in Japan (this year a 2 week long run of public holidays in May joined together, is what I understand).

We stayed here for 1 night during Golden Week in Japan (this year a 2 week long run of public holidays in May joined together, is what I understand). Due to this, we had limited hotel/ryokan choices when we were planning our trip in February 2019. Ryokan Sanjiro was one that had availability for this period. And given the last English review was from 2017, we didn’t quite know what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised though. This is a smallish onsen hotel. It felt cozy, we recognised staff and they recognised us. We were greeted by a staff member who spoke some English and tried very hard at it. She welcomed us with a personalised map of the ryokan with our room, onsen locations and meal area highlighted and written in English. With this it felt like we had personalised service. The room was lovely, we could see the Zao mountain from our room. Meals were served in a private dining room. There was a personalised welcome note. The room meant we could enjoy dinner privately. The food was great quality! We thoroughly enjoyed it. The ingredients were fresh and dishes intricately prepared. Same goes for breakfast. No coffee provided with breakfast, but we received a voucher for coffee at the lobby. It was special, with a coffee foam on top. I like a good coffee and enjoyed this one. There were a few private baths you could rent for 50 minutes. Prices ranged from high 1000 yen to low 2000 yen. I thought this was reasonable as the room rate was cheaper than most other onsen hotels. On check out again we had lovely service. I prefer smaller ryokans with personable service and good food, and ideally private onsen available for use - this place ticks all those boxes and has made it memorable for us.

“A traditional Japanese Ryokan”

Great if you like a traditional Japanese inn but for a western traveller, not very practical in many respects. Helpful, friendly staff. Inns like these have quite inadequate room bathrooms because most of their cliental use the main bath house. The lack of a bed or bedside table at 1st room entry to place travel items on, becomes a pain after too many nights on a tour staying at these type of lodges. Interesting the 1st time but best avoided unless you really like sleeping on the floor and having suitcases on the floor. Inhouse evening dining was very good with tasty traditional food. Japanese style breakfast was less enjoyable -ohh for just fresh juice, fruit and toast.
