Rurikoh

Lovely getaway for an authentic Japanese Onsen bathing experience. The suite room was gorgeous and came with a private bath which was very worth it for me ! Many delicious local restaurant options nearby too. Staff knew enough English to get us settled. Highly recommend for 1-2 nights as part of your trip.

We had Suite Room B and it was very spacious and well maintained. Rurikoh had many good services (free shuttle to/from Kagaonsen train station, spa w/massages, outdoor foot onsen, taiko drum performance, free afternoon snacks), a beautiful outdoor onsen and large indoor one, very good traditional Japanese breakfast, and very welcoming staff. A short walk (approx 8 min) to several grocery stores and restaurants.

Nice choice for a visit in Kaya Onsen

Loved this place! Staff was very friendly and helpful. They had a drink and snack bar available when we got there. It was quiet and relaxing. The only thing that was confusing was that they told us we couldn’t eat at the restaurants at the hotel. We had to go outside of the hotel to eat, but was fine because we went to an AWESOME yakiniku place called Akichan.

Classic East meets West Japanese hotel. Onsens are great, room onsens are also well designed and modern. Rooms are very large; ours was traditionally designed. Taiko drums at 9pm is a fun option. Don’t be afraid to walk the neighborhood and eat at a local place. The locals might be a bit surprised to see you but they will embrace your presence. Stayed in a very hot summer so be prepared if you are coming at that time. Even though Japanese use less AC than Westerners, Air conditioning struggled to keep up with the extreme heat indexes into the 100s.

It's seen better days. Quality of the meals was disappointing. Room was spacious and clean but the property in general is tired and needs upgrading. It's a bit on the outskirts of the main part of Yamashiro Onsen but there's a bus stop across the street if you want to get into town. We took it to get to Yamanaka Onsen and to Kakusenkei Gorge.

Very nice hotel and provide the spa area to enjoy Japanese style bath. And front desk employee introduced the detail of hotel. The Hotel’s breakfast and dinner also tasty to enjoy the Japanese culture.

We had a great staying in the executive room with private Onsen and could access to the executive lounge. The staff were friendly, the room was spacious, neat and comfortable. Dinner was delicious but breakfast buffet was just ok.

Room was spacious and the service was great. We really enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here based on the good reviews but found it quite disappointing overall. It was clearly out of high season for them so lots of things were closed or didn't run including the nighttime entertainment which was part of our reasoning in booking it. It's not a traditional ryokan, more of a large hotel with traditional rooms. The public baths were very good and a great place to relax. We also had a room with a private onsen which was very nice. The room was excellent and very big with a very comfy futon! Dinning was a disappointment as it turns out you need to book a dinner package (we didn't when booking as we couldn't see what the food would be so decided to order when we got there). When we arrived it turns out everyone was having dinner but us and as we hadn't pre booked then they couldn't accommodate us! We ended up having to wait until 8pm to eat from the snack menu of an empty bar which was a poor experience and the hotel did nothing to help. I had also contacted them in advance about dinning options and was told there were 'lots available' which was rubbish. Breakfast was better and a nice buffet mix including many local specialities which were nice to try. Whilst we had a quiet and relaxed stay here, given the price we paid, we didn't get the experience advertised on their website (you shouldn't be able to book a package that doesn't include food). I would advise going for a proper ryokan rather than a

Large and traditional hot spring hotel. Hot spring bath inside the hotel opened 24hours. You can enjoy the bath even you go back late at night.

The staff and tatami room were very nice. The hotel overall is a bit old and run down.

One hour bus ride from takayama. Great place to stay. The onsen was super nice outside. The owner was awesome and spoke some English.

お風呂が24時間入れて便利だった

今回は宿泊のみで利用したがスタッフは親切で温泉もいい湯でした。 また泊まりたい宿ですね

식사예약이 안받아지고, 주변에도 식사할만한곳이별로없어 많이 불편.

I liked that there were some foot bath near the hotel.

大勢の団体客も来る、所謂そういった感じの大きな宿で、従って名前からイメージするほど高級なところでないかな。夕食もいまいちでした。ま、普通なんだろうね。部屋に着いてる露天風呂は大変良かったです。

露天風呂が気持ちいい

ありがとうございました。 また行きたいです。
