It is an old hotel that looks like it has history. The proprietress is very beautiful. When we left, she still kept the Japanese farewell gift and waved at the door.The hot springs are pretty good, and it was really good to sleep after taking a dip.Meals, breakfast and dinner are all served on Japanese tatami mats. They are Japanese-style meals. As someone who is used to eating Western-style breakfast, I am not used to it and I am not full.

I don't really want to tell you, but I used it for a day trip bath. They graciously accepted me without showing any offence. The hot springs were wonderful and clean, and I have very fond memories.I was also impressed that there was a foreigner on the floor who was having trouble, and he was able to help me smoothly in English. It was definitely a place I would like to visit again.thank you very much.

I am from Taiwan, and my travel destination is Kamikochi. I stayed at Okada Hotel and Leting on the previous night on October 14, 2024. The accommodation experience was great. From the display of cultural relics in the museum, I can feel the long history of the hotel. The room type is spacious, not crowded and does not feel oppressive. There are independent hot spring pools inside and outside the room. The hotel is quiet and not noisy, which makes people feel relaxed. Thank you very much for the charming and friendly service provided by the lady with a charming smile during the meal. Although I did not understand the language, it was difficult to Expressed, Nengran can feel the enthusiasm of the lady (a big plus for the quality of the accommodation). I feel that the manpower in the hotel is streamlined, but I have not encountered the situation of poor service and still can't find anyone. The overall accommodation experience is good. When I want to check out I happened to meet the service lady and said goodbye to us before we left. This left us with deep and beautiful memories of our trip to Japan.

I stayed there for a night before going to Kamikochi. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. The staff were friendly.I went there by bus, so I don't know about the parking fee. However, the car park is big.The onsen is good too.I recommend this hotel.

We went on a bus tour!The room was larger than I expected and very clean.The food was delicious, and the hot springs and open-air baths were great!If I had to say it, I wish the TV in the room was a little bigger, and the hot spring hair dryer was too weak, so it took a long time for me with long hair.

This hotel has a history of more than 100 years since it was built. It continues the unique four-season style of Okuhidairayu and condenses the Japanese-style decoration. Typical facilities include using the multi-purpose large bath and hot springs of Takano Ara, tasting the fruit of the zelkova tree at the Japanese-style single room dining area, and overlooking the majestic Okuhida scenery in the spacious living room with good ventilation. Enjoy a night of travel in a tranquil and peaceful atmosphere. Please enjoy the warm atmosphere of Okada Ryokan. The hotel is divided into two buildings, Okada Ryokan Main Building and Wakutei.

Stayed in this room during our honeymoon for just one night. It is sold as a must have experience but AVOID coming to this "hotel". Cold dinner and even though we arrived at 7.45pm with our group of 20 people we were told that the restaurant had to close at 8.15pm? The shower "tub" is only placed on the floor without being fixed to the wall! But safety?!? Tomorrow for breakfast we were guaranteed a croissant and salad... This is 3 star treatment?!? It's fine to maintain traditions but we are in 2024 and the services must be adequate for a 3 star otherwise you will change your name in retirement. I repeat, TOURIST TRAP, to be avoided
