Excellent experience. Family run boutique hotel, with only 3 rooms. Outstanding dinner and breakfast. Our room was a small house, with private onsen and sauna, facing the wood. Beautiful view. Immersed in nature. Owners took care of all details, ensuring top experience. I strongly recommend staying 1-2 nights!

Return visit. This time in a slightly smaller cottage without massage chair. There's a big cypress wood indoor onsen bath and sauna rock bath. Kaiseiki meals painstakingly prepared customised to dietary needs, best of the best among those we went to in Japan. Excellent culinary skills, a bit of fusion for some dishes e.g. Potato gratin. Every item is tasty. Most hotels will just prepare hot pot with plain boiling water to cook the sashimi but not for this one. Very thoughtful. The lady boss even observes what we don't eat during dinner and don't serve them during breakfast. Service from the heart from the family even though spoke very limited English. Highly commendable. I filed this after a horrible experience at satonoyu waraku in kurokawa. Experience is like chalk and cheese in comparison. Best is check in at 2 pm and check out at noon with more time for onsen soak. Will definitely return.

“Satisfactory visit with excellent service and food!”

Food at the in house restaurant, Ichinokawa, was superb. Rooms were overall satisfactory, with big plus for their in-room onsen. Finding the ryokan was a little difficult. It’s off the main road.

Food at the in house restaurant, Ichinokawa, was superb. Rooms were overall satisfactory, with big plus for their in-room onsen. Finding the ryokan was a little difficult. It’s off the main road. Look for the tall sign with a couple of logos on it. Turn in and drive down. They are about 150m in at a cul-de-sac. We were met by a staff member who helped us with our luggage, dropping it off in the room. Check-in was in an old hut with a small glass window in the floor to appreciate the river flowing below. The staff member spoke some English, and his ready smile made up for everything! Our Villa was a walk away. A small key on a large wooden key chain opened the sliding door. Once inside, we were surprised by what we regarded as mismatched furniture. A large red leather couch with a matching TV console, and a glass mural on the wall was in the living room. Further in was the formal tatami sitting area. Walking back past the door, a toilet with all the usual Japanese toilet with all the Japanese toilet functions can be found. Right next to it was a “retro” bedroom. Based on our personal taste, we chose to have the bed made on the tatami floor. Down one flight of stairs is the bathroom, Cedar wood bath tub and the sauna. There’s an air con here to heat up the sink area. We ran the bath to heat up the shower area. After shower and scrub up, we jumped into the bath tub for a soak. This was a nice area to be in. Very relaxing and if you’re up for it, there’s also a sauna that you need to wear clothing provided. The food at Ichinokawa is superb. Fresh seasonal produce with exquisite culinary skills. Beautiful restaurant environment. Service is polite, efficient and done with pride. Overall a satisfactory stay here.4 we just did not get with the room decor, but other than that service was excellent and the food was exquisite.

Efficiently run by a hospitable family of 3. Nice rock bath and onsen. Food was homely and great and catered for me a pescatarian. However for the high price some parts of cottage a bit run down with old massage chair and cob webs. Also the buggy lack power and kept sliding down the forest slope and torn leather covered by towels. Another issue is security which deserves looking at. However will be back cos of the forest and hospitality.
