Sakoya -Yoshino-

This traditional Japanese in was a delight to stay in. The tatami room was a delight, the staff was very attentive and gracious. The location in Yoshino was very good for walking. The food was excellent and the hot springs provided perfect nightly relaxation.

it is a lovely ryokan, run by lovely people who are more than happy to go out of their way to accommodate peoples' needs. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the food, (if you are keen on traditional Japanese fish courses) is devine. But it is just not worth the price tag - they also need more clarity in their advertising regarding their onsen (hot spring) and whether the room you are booking includes on or not. Honestly, we would not have booked this ryokan had we known our room (that was more expensive than 4 nights accommodation in Osaka combined) did not contain a private onsen, we would not have booked it, so be wary regarding that - but we cannot fault the stay itself, maybe they just need to cheapen the deal...

露天風呂是最佳賣點，餐食以野菜和漬物為主不能期望太大。難以用英語原整溝通，處理業務的年長女管家規矩頗多。 於旅遊淡季時，為節省開支而不願開放男女湯各一，而要夫妻混浴當然還可接受，但將早上入湯時段取消，怎説那高檔的旅館費便不值了。 唯一登山索道廢棄更令旅程大打折扣，以無料自助電話客服聯繫無人接聽，尤幸鐵道站長幫忙聯絡才可令店方以客車落山接送。

空調騒音が少しきになりました。

忙しい時期にも関わらず丁寧な対応をしていただき、とても素敵な時間を過ごすことができました。 温泉や洗面台等も清潔で、食事も素晴らしかったです。 働いている方がいきいきと、そしててきぱきと対応いただき、プロだなーと感動しました。 吉野へ行く際には、またぜひともこちらに泊まりたいと思います。
