We are planning to visit you again in October. The appearance of the inn, the kindness of the people, and the deliciousness of the food are all wonderful. It's a wonderful inn. It's a warm and homely inn where many children stay!

A new inn nearby was fully booked so we decided to stay here.It's old but kept clean.Bath and toilet are shared.The futon is not the latest mattress, but it's enough for just sleeping!There is no food provided, so you will have to eat at a nearby restaurant.It's not a luxury inn, but a place where people working on site stay for long periods of time.I'm completely satisfied with this price for a room without meals!

I went back home for a memorial service at my husband's parents' home and stayed there with a large group of children and grandchildren.One night and two meals for only 8,500 yen!I regret not finding it sooner. Since we were a large group, they told us that they would prepare three rooms for us, but since we were family and siblings, it was fine. So, I was given two rooms and separated into men and women.It looked like it was a school trip, and the kids (though they were adults lol) were making a lot of noise until midnight.The food is also full of volume, with handmade soba noodles flavored with cherry blossoms. There were more of them than women, but the men ate them up.I had just the right amount of breakfast and was able to finish it all without leaving anything.The mother of the inn is elderly, but she is energetic, friendly, and very warm-hearted. As mentioned in other reviews, I was a little worried when making the reservation, but I guess that's part of the ``taste'' of this inn.I like it very much. I want you to keep going and I will definitely go again. Soda Ryokan is your only choice!P.S.: It is also barrier-free, so I made sure to advertise it to my relatives who have children who use wheelchairs.I think we'll be staying together next time, so we hope to see you again then 😆

Visited in November 2021. Book online at R Travel.A ryokan located in the Mitsunari district of Okuizumo town. It's about a 15 minute walk from Izumo Mitsunari Station.I was assigned a Japanese-style room in an old building, but it had a nice, historic feel (and it was a corner room). The washroom is in a separate room.The washrooms, baths, and other plumbing facilities are in a new building and are in good condition.The food is impeccably delicious and uses plenty of local ingredients such as crab. I think the cost performance is quite high.Since it is a family-owned business, there are some aspects that are not flexible, but you can feel the warmth.On the day I checked in, the parking lot was full and it looked like it was full.I think this is a very popular and highly satisfying inn.

I love this ryokan so much that since I'm from Okuizumo, I have to stay at Soda Ryokan whenever I return home.When I checked in, the old lady greeted me cheerfully and I felt like I was back at home.Anyway, the food is voluminous and I use it every time.Okuizumo is a touring spot, so we also recommend it to bikers! Please try staying once 😊

This is a quaint, old-fashioned inn.I think this is a ryokan where you can enjoy the traditional structure and atmosphere.Both new, modern inns and quaint inns like this one have their own good points, but I like these kinds of inns and will continue to use them in search of the atmosphere.The hospitality and appearance remind me of my parents' home, which is no longer there.This is a ryokan where you can enjoy the atmosphere and humanity, regardless of whether it is old or bad.The food is delicious, and I think it's a valuable ryokan now that it's being renovated everywhere.Also, since we are a parent-child business, we are not a one-man operation.Management efforts have been made and the cleaning is thorough.Thank you again.

I stayed there, but the phone call for reservations was strange, so I went there and found that it was run by an old woman in her 80s who was hard of hearing.It was an old inn, and the windows were full of gaps, and the shoji screens were also full of gaps. , senbei zabuton, senbei futon, senbei pillow, the accommodation room was on the second floor, the toilet was on the first floor, and it cost 6,000 yen for a room without meals. It seems that it will close soon. I could barely sleep. I see some pretty good comments about this inn, but no matter how I think about it, I can't understand it.

The cost performance is the best. This would be difficult to achieve elsewhere. Also, it is especially convenient if you come by the Kisuki Line. Transfers to and from the station can be negotiated with the owner, who has deep pockets. I would like you to use it, and I will also use it again. The food is also delicious. I would like you to enjoy it with two meals included.

Baths, toilets, and washrooms are shared, but every nook and cranny is kept clean, and the furniture is Asian-style and arranged without any discomfort, making it a ryokan where you'll feel like you'll want to stay forever.It's a great place to go to Izumo Taisha, Matsue, and Tottori, and I ended up staying here for several nights.The food is delicious and plentifulI don't want to teach, but it was an inn that I wanted to teach.

I stayed here in Okuizumo-cho Mitsunari twice last year, and the accommodation was located in the eastern part of the village. This time, I used Soda Ryokan for a solo motorcycle tour as it was close to a very good izakaya that I had visited last time.Surprisingly, the husband also rides a motorcycle, so we had a lively conversation about motorcycles when I arrived and when I left. Lately, there have been a lot of customers on bikes. That alone makes it a comfortable accommodation for riders. My bike was placed under the eaves of the entrance where it would be protected from the rain.The room was in the northeast corner, but it was a Japanese-style room with 8 tatami mats, which was more than enough for one person, and it had an old-fashioned design with a corridor outside. The nostalgic feeling will irresistibly stir up your desire to travel. However, it has the functionality of a modern inn, including Wi-Fi.The baths seem to be available 24 hours a day, and the separate baths for men and women are very comfortable. Water facilities such as washrooms, toilets, and baths are gathered on the first floor, but considering the construction of the building, this may be the only option. Amenities such as toothbrushes and towels are also provided.This time we planned to not have a meal, but the host asked us to come and talk to the owner of the izakaya, and we had a lively conversation with the owner of the izakaya, who was a local celebrity. This kind of connection between people gives you a sense of security, like coming back home, and makes you realize that this ryokan is more than just a lodging facility.Stay at Soda Ryokan and go to an izakaya. It was such a wonderful inn that it was worth staying in Mitsunari, Okuizumo Town just for this reason. This is a particularly recommended accommodation for bikers.

I used it for 1 night and 2 days in mid-January.I was nervous as it was my first time staying at a ryokan by myself, but it turned out to be a great stay.The shampoo and conditioner (P&G's Pantene) in the bath made my hair silky smooth. I was also impressed that they were able to turn on the hot water according to my convenience.The washing machine and detergent were free, and the room was dry so all my laundry was dry after hanging it overnight.I had planned on having a smaller meal for dinner, but it was just the right amount for me. I thought breakfast would be a bento, but it turned out to be a proper set meal. I thought the food was delicious, and the sign said "Kappo" which made sense.There were many sinks, and I had the bath and toilet to myself, so I didn't feel inconvenienced by the shared areas. However, the window in the toilet was fully open, so was there a heater? Even so, it was quite cold.If I ever stay again near Izumo Mitsunari Station, I will stay there again.

The staff at the inn were very kind and the atmosphere was very nice and comfortable.I would like to stay here again if I come to Okuizumo.

I've been staying here for about a week since the other day. I live alone comfortably in a 6 tatami room. It seems like they are renovating an old building. My family also lives in a house built over 100 years ago in the countryside, so it feels like I'm relaxing at home ^^ The staff are also wonderful. I drank and ate small meals at night, so I was planning on staying overnight without meals, but they said they would prepare dinner with just a few snacks, so I asked them not to do that. We spend every night enjoying delicious snacks.I appreciate the host's response.

Dinner was delicious. A high school girl working part-time near my hotel seemed simple and I liked her.
