Ryokan Kato - Yoshino

Beautiful Ryokan in a beautiful location!! Rooms are big but cozy and the onsen is wonderful in the winter time!!

Some more comfy chairs would be great. Soft pillow option please. Onset was great

This place is perfect. The staff were exceptional, the food amazing and the location spot on. We'd be back in a heartbeat!

We love this little place in the mountains in Yoshino - the family / the lady in charge is absolutely wonderful and super hard working. It’s our second stay at this lovely inn and we will come back. Ps please note that check in is strictly at 3pm and if you want their lovely dinner you have to pre book. Highly recommended!

Stunning location, stylish and comfortable interior. Even the futons were comfortable and exceeded our expectations! The evening meal was exceptional by any standards - beautifully presented and quite simply delicious. The staff were always friendly and attentive and we would recommend this Ryokan without hesitation.

Kind and attentive staff, lovely central location, incredible private bath. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Ryokan because of facilities and food but even more so because of staff. Ikuyo and Junko truly went the extra mile to make our stay unforgettable.

Delicious food, beautiful location with great views, very spacious room, nice onsen!

A very pleasant experience. The hotel is well kept by the Kato family with great architecture. The food is fantastic and very nice staff. A place we would love to go back to stay next time.

Great experience after a communication issue at the beginning. It is worth noting that in low season most restaurants in Yoshino will be closed or wil close early, so plan to eat at your Ryokan for all breakfast & dinner meals. The meals prepared at Ryokan Kato were excellent, a real experience in local cuisine. Having breakfast across that road in their seperate restaurant with excellent views across the valley started the day nicely. We were fortunate to have the hot baths to ourselves which were great after a long day of dragging our kids up the hills of Yoshino. We loved the sitting/reading area with the swing hanging from the ceiling and the traditional lamps, very relaxing. Yoshino is worth the extra train rides and Kato was perfect for us. Thank you.

This hotel was extremely comfortable and good value. The location was fantastic for us, as we arrived and left Hiroshima by train and did 2 day trips using the train, so being right next to the station was amazingly convenient. Lots of shops nearby too. Very comfortable room, not bad size for Japan, and with every amenity you could ask for...toothbrushes, hairdryer, TV, Wi-Fi, kettle, fridge. Really good. Would love to go back sometime.

This is a traditional Japanese ryokan. If you want a true Japanese experience this is the place. The owner seems to predict your every need ahead of time. The indoor and outdoor mineral baths are beautiful and healing. The restaurant serves a five star traditional Japanese dinner that is one of the finest and most beautifully served meals I have ever had. It is located in a rather remote area in the mountains, accessible by train, and is on a world heritage pilgrimage route, filled with temples and shrines at every turn in the woods of trees and bamboo. This is truly a magical place.

吉野の大自然に囲まれた立地にあり非日常を過ごせました。和風のランプや木製の椅子、癒しの音楽など旅館のお気遣いが見えて本当に良かったです。

夜遅く到着してしまいましたが、とても気持ちよく迎えてくださいました。カフェの窓からの眺めも最高で、露天風呂も無茶苦茶気持ちよかったです。また行きます！

丁寧な接客、木のぬくもりの感じられるログハウスの客室で大変快適に過ごせました。

全て木でできていて、とても気持ちのいい部屋でした。 旅館の回りも静かでとても雰囲気のが良く、朝食を食べる別宅も眺めがさいこうでした。

中国に住む友達と大きなキャリアーバック持っているので、送迎していただいて感動しました。素敵なところで、お料理が格別に美味しく感じました。 旅館のスタッフを含め、吉野山の方々がとても親切で助けて貰いました。観音みたいと思いました 良かったです。ありがとうございました。

Wonderful food and service. the dinner and breakfast was absoulutely delicious.

Un petit peu difficile d'accès (15/20 minutes de montée depuis la gare), inconvénient largement compensé par un cadre magnifique. Ryokan atypique, expérience inoubliable !

お食事全般、コーヒーにも飾りが添えられていて、心遣いが感じられるお宿でした。ロビーで休んでいるとお茶が出てきたり、快く送迎のお願いに対応くださったりとおもてなしの心が感じられました。
