Spectacularly amazing experience in the oldest operating hotel in the world!!! The customer service was exceptionally outstanding!!! These professionals made us feel incredibly special with their warm welcome and attention to detail. Thank you to all at the extraordinary Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan!
perfect and quiet. 10 for service. needs a bit of updating but also great as it is. excellent food. have a car if you stay more than one night or stay in, nothing around but nature
This was one of the best experiences I’ve had traveling. The onsen was incredibly beautiful, clean, and serene, and the staff were extremely attentive and helpful. The food especially stood out as one of the best meals I’ve had in Japan. I highly, highly recommend this onsen!
Incredible service and absolutely delectable dinner and breakfast multicourse meals. We took a train to Minobu station and were picked up promptly at 1:40 pm for a scenic ride to the onsen. The hot spring pools were on the hot side, so I could only soak for a few min at a time. The entire place was clean and the view out the room wonderful. The dining experience was exceptional. Far better than the fancy pre fixe place in the USA. Price was super reasonable! Can’t recommend this place enough for a romantic retreat.

awesome location! Amazing staff! We had an incredible dinner and breakfast experience. We would love to come back again. The staff went above and beyond to help us experience an authentic Japanese cultural experience. Wish the checkout time was extended by hour or two. The time felt very short for a day’s visit.
This ryokan is intended to be a place you go to relax. There isn’t a lot to do by design, other than eat, sleep, onsen, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings in comfort. We did half-board and the food is fantastic. The staff were very nice. The onsen were beautiful, especially the open air one on the fourth floor. There are six or seven onsen total including the three private ones.
Loved this property! Everyone is so friendly, the view is breath taking, the onsens are amazing, and the food is wonderful! This is a bucket list hotel.
The springs were amazing and very warm! The staff while serving the meals was top-notch!
If you have the opportunity I'd suggest staying for more than 1 day and doing some hiking/exploring along the river. Beautiful scenery!
Traditional classic Japanese hotel, experience of a life time. Dinner and breakfast included in fare. Complimentary water and coffee in hotel grounds. Clothing and slippers given at check in. Many varieties of natural spring onsen (with schedules for men and women). You get 30 mins of private onsen included in the fare (as a couple). Quiet, peaceful. Recommended.
Will 100% be recommending this to everyone we know. This place was INCREDIBLE. The dinner/breakfast presentations are vast and delicious, the spas are stunning, and the staff was absolutely wonderful. It’s an easy train ride from Kyoto/Tokyo and there is a daily shuttle service that you can book with the hotel. This was such a fun and genuine experience. Highly recommend!
The staff and the room were stellar. It was truly an amazing stay. The staff was so kind and courteous. Our attendant was so sweet. The food was delicious but very traditional, and she took the time to show us how to eat it or what sauces to dip what in. The rooms were very spacious and clean. It was an overall wonderful experience.
If you are wanting a truly unique experience of a Japanese oven in the most natural of settings then this place is magnificent. The dinner and breakfast is something to be experienced and the onsen baths are awesome overlooking nothing but nature.
Super unique experience--ancient onsen with a semi-modern hotel. All of the staff were incredibly attentive, helpful, and willing to make our stay amazing. Multiple public onsens and bookable private onsens. The hotel trusts you to know how it all works. Most of the water in--for everything from drinking to bathing--is the hot spring water that somehow felt cleansing and healthy.
Suit for family and couple with no small kid otherwise u might not b able to finish the dinner course or even breakfast coz sometime kid can’t be neat and tidy during those time. A a bit more older is great. Everything just great as the way it should. This was my 2nd time here. Love it here
