I was impressed by everything with the best hospitality!To commemorate my daughter's birthday, I stayed at Tanakaya, which I had been interested in for a while.Even though I had just casually told them that it was my birthday when making the reservation, they prepared me a ``birthday gift'' and sekihan.For the greeting card, she even attached a dolphin, which is my daughter's favorite, and everything was a surprise and a storm of emotion.It looks like an old inn with a lot of history, but the inside was very clean. The bathroom was also spacious and relaxing.The room was also spacious and kept very clean.New equipment such as washrooms and air conditioners were installed, so I was able to spend a comfortable time.There is also an elegant courtyard, where I was soothed by the sounds of birds chirping and water flowing. The chef's taste in both dinner and breakfast was good, and it was a feast for the eyes only, but the food was delicious and plentiful, so both my heart and stomach were very satisfied.It was my first trip as a parent and child, and it was a great memory.All the staff members were overflowing with a desire to make customers happy, and I could feel that, and I felt that this is what hospitality is all about.I also work in the customer service industry, and I learned a lot from this experience.It is also a famous inn that you will want to make time to visit ☆This is an inn that I definitely recommend (^o^)

My usual stay. The young proprietress, your husband, and everyone have been kind to you. Four years ago, during the coronavirus restrictions, I couldn't go to the temple in Tokyo that I relied on, so I cried to my husband and said, ``I want to see Buddha.''The husband of the house also somehow forgave me, saying, ``If it's Minobu,'' he gave me one room, even though it was difficult because a group was coming. I never forget the kindness I received at that time, and I try to stay the night. We didn't have dinner, but Mr. Nakai brought me a rice ball and handed it to me, saying, ``Eat this.'' I could hear her saying, ``Be well!'' and I ate the rice ball while crying.It's probably time to write a review. Every time I visit, I am treated to a feast of crab meat, and I spend time quietly listening to the sound of the river in the large room.Thank you for your help again. Thank you very much for your continued support. The husband, young proprietress, Nakai-san. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me four years ago. palms together

This time, my family of 5 used it for the first time as a year-end party. The inside of the building was very beautiful and had a historical feel to it. The food looked and tasted great and everyone was very satisfied. I would definitely like to stay there next time. Thank you to the landlady and all the staff.

Everyone at the inn, including the proprietress, was very kind and pleasant (thank you)! The service was very attentive, the building was clean throughout, and the bathroom was spacious and great. I was hurting my lower back, so it was very helpful that they were able to pick me up and pick me up during the morning shift at Kuonji Temple, as well as during check-in and check-out! I think even elderly people can stay there with peace of mind. (Please contact Tanakaya directly as the station and accommodation may not always operate at the time you desire due to conflicts with other customers.) Next time I visit Mt. Minobu, I will definitely stay at Tanakaya Ryokan. I have decided!
