Hotels in Japan

Very nice and helpfull staff. Great location and nice accommodation. We also enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner in the restaurant. Gladly again!

Very beautiful, traditional hotel with very friendly staff. Big cozy rooms, with an amazing hot tub. An awesome experience, and being located in Gion, it truly feels like diving into traditional Japanese culture.

Near Hemije only 30mins away on local JR train, so convenient for visiting Hemije castle. This is a truly authentic Ryokan in a small town. The town is unremarkable, but the rooms and the meal was absolutely Fantastic, and perhaps the most authentic experience of a Ryokan we had over a 16 day trip in Japan. I would definitely recommend and i hope one day myself to return.

A truly outstanding five-star hotel. Flawless...

Boutique luxury hotel in Hakone. I believe there are only 9 rooms in total. Brand new and stunning. The room is fantastic - decent size, bathroom huge, wardrobe, bed comfortable and loved the traditional feel to everything in the room, your own onsen with beautiful wooden surroundings that you fill with water yourself and can hear the large waterfall from the native bush below. Just divine and relaxing. Smart tv that you can watch from the onsen or in bed. Because of the waterfall you needed to have the volume up quite high though. Drinks in fridge were for your enjoyment free of charge. They include drinks and snacks in the restaurant area in the afternoon for your enjoyment. Lovely check in process, with a personal touch and a traditional tea. Bus stop right there at road entrance to the hotel - we used this a few times during our stay. Taxi is best when arriving and leaving with suitcases given the hills. 7 eleven a few hundred metres walk. We didn’t want to leave!

Beautiful location by the Kamo river, makes you feel like you’re living the zen Kyoto life. The staff is excellent and goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay (shout out to Cho-san for his kindness and ever present smile). The complimentary in room amenities are very generous. And of course, being Nintendo we loved winding down in the Library Bar after the days exploring was done.

I loved this place so much that I almost want to keep it a secret. The room was extremely spacious, especially compared to the usual size of hotel rooms in Japan, and the entire facility was beautiful, clean, and centrally located. The design had a clean Japanese minimalism throughout, which made the atmosphere really special. It exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely stay here again.

This is a great place for a basic and peaceful stay surrounded by nature. The scenery is lovely and it's a good location to see Yamaguchi as it's very central. The owner Saki is an absolute angel who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even helped us out by accompanying us to the police station to report a minor traffic accident (a legal requirement in Japan). Our whole experience at Himawari Guesthouse was so charming and memorable, I would definitely recommend it or stay there again!

breakfast and pool were amazing
