Kind of a budget ryokan here so a little older and they don't run the AC in the hallways, but room was fine, dinner and breakfast were good and actually considering the low price, it is a very good deal. Convenient location for the Geibikei Gorge.

Dated, but clean and pretty rooms in the Japanese style for a reasonable price. The location is convenient if you want to visit Geibikei Gorge. The host is friendly and efficient. The air-con was very much appreciated in the summer! A welcome change for a solo traveller who is used to cramped hostel beds.

The other day, my family of three stayed at this hotel while sightseeing in Ichinoseki.Although the building is showing its age, the rooms were very well maintained and very comfortable.The bath, toilet, and wash basin have all been renovated and we were able to spend a very comfortable stay.In particular, the food was extremely delicious, and I was impressed that the owner used to cook in Roppongi, Tokyo.It was worth the 5-hour drive from Saitama.We also plan to visit you in June when the hydrangea blooms.

Highly recommended thanks to Kajiya Bekkan Ramakkoro Yamaneko Inn owner and staff, this is a highly recommended five-star accommodation!!!!We are coming to Taiwan for a family trip of 7 people from 4 large and 3 small groups, living on February 6, 2024. Accommodation, boarding, early arrival every other day at 9:30 am, Geibi River cruise activity, arriving at an inn, arriving early every other day at 9:30 am. The amount of money I received was the same as that of the previous KKday purchase e-ticket, however, due to the fact that I saw the description on the Geibana River boat terminal, there was a special advance reservation for the boarding time, and the staff at the hotel were patient and kind. Under the guidance of Hana Rin, we spent many hours in Japanese and translated the Japanese language into a transparent translation, parallel to the passage, and also went down the river to the river, and after boarding the ship, we connected to the land and continued the original process. , I'm truly extremely grateful to the operatives at the annex Ramakkoro Yamaneko Inn, and I'm truly grateful for the fact that it's not as good as the original. !The workers are passionate, sincere, friendly, kind and respectful, and the passengers are average and fully supported, and the service is the best.But the evening meal and breakfast are also super good, and the restaurant is also very good. One kat.This is a 100-minute five-star experience, how you plan to participate, and activities like boating down the Geihana Valley.The best choice for you is definitely the best choice with no regrets!!!I highly recommend and thank all the staff at Kajiya Bekkan Ramakkoro Yamaneko Yado. This is a 5 star lodging experience that is definitely recommended.We were a family of 4 adults and 3 children from Taiwan. We stayed on February 6, 2024, and planned to go down the Geibikei Gorge from 9:30 the next morning. When we arrived at the inn, we were told that the Geibikei boat ride starting at 9:30 the next morning was fully booked and there were no seats left. I had purchased tickets in advance on KKday, but I had read the instructions on the Geibikei Boat Ride website, so I didn't make any reservations in advance. When we arrived at the inn, the staff were patient and kind. They even used translation software for us who couldn't speak Japanese, and took the time to communicate with the owner of the Geibikei boat ride, so things went smoothly after boarding. I was able to connect this to my planned itinerary. It wasn't something they were supposed to do, but out of consideration and kindness towards tourists!The staff are warm, sincere, helpful and courteous and do their best to assist passengers. The service is top notch and the dinner and breakfast are very tasty and sumptuous. The room and dining area are also spacious, comfortable, clean, and have Shohei Otani's autograph.This is a 100 out of 5 star experience. If you are planning to participate in Geihanei boat rafting activities, Kajiya Bekkan Ramakkoro Yamaneko Yado is the best choice that you will not regret.Highly recommend and thank you to all the staff at Kajiya Bekkan Ramakkoro Yamaneko Yado, it was an absolutely recommended 5-star stay !!!!We were a family of 4 adults and 3 children from Taiwan. We stayed on February 6, 2024 and planned to take the Boat rides down Geibi Gorge at 9:30am the next morning. When we arrived at the hotel, we were told that the next morning's boat ride at 9:30am was fully booked and there were no more seats available. Although we had already purchased e-tickets from KKday in advance, we didn't have to make any special reservations because we saw the description on the Geibikei Gorge Boat Ride website. When we arrived at the Kaziya Annexe Ramatkor Yamaneko Inn, the staff was patient and kind, and spent a lot of time communicating with us through a translation program for those of us who didn't speak Japanese, and also with the Boat rides down Geibi Gorge, so that we were able to smoothly connect to our planned itinerary after boarding the boat. It was not something they should have done, but it was out of their sincerity and kindness to the travelers, I really appreciate it !!!!The staff is warm and sincere, kind and courteous, and do their best to help travelers, the service is the best, and the dinner and breakfast are super delicious and rich, the room and dining area is also spacious, comfortable and clean, and there is Shohei Ohtani's autograph is even better.This is a 100 out of 100 five-star experience, and if you're planning on joining the Boat rides down Geibi Gorge, the Kaziya Annexe Ramatkor Yamaneko Inn is definitely the best choice!!!!
