I had a very relaxing and nice stay at this accommodation. The family running this hotel is so kind and welcoming, they even made vegetarian breakfast for me (even without katsuo dashi!). The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Another nice feature is that you get a discount for visiting the Kazurabashi onsen hotel, the open air onsen there is so special!Thank you very much for my nice stay!

We had a great stay in this small ryokan. The staff is very welcoming. We were offered to have dinner at the ryokan, which we luckily accepted also because there were not many dinner options nearby. The dinner was a complete Japanese dining experience, of ocurse with sweet water fish from the nearby river. |The room was fine.

My stay here was just perfect. Deep in the heart of the iya valley, literally a stone’s throw from the vine bridge, crystal clear river, and some delicious lunch spots. 30 min walk to the beautiful mountaintop cafe, and the obachan who runs the ryokan itself is so so kind and welcoming. She prepared the most wonderful meals for us and was always helpful and warm. The rooms were spotless and the view from our window was amazing. There is also a discount price at the nearby Kazurabashi onsen which was a huge plus. I hope to return some day soon.

The staff was outstandingly friendly and willing to help out with anything you might need. I asked one of the staff members about bike rentals in the area, and she took the time to call several different places to get me an answer.

For travelers on a tight budget, this is certainly the optimal accommodation in the Iya Valley. Our room was tiny and the suitcases had to stay in the hallway. Shared toilet - unfortunately next to our room. …
