Wonderful stay!

Beautiful location and room in rustic Japanese buildings, and excellent kaiseki dinner. We loved the river right outside and enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately our room was rather infested with stink bugs and the staff was unresponsive when we reached out around 10pm for assistance. I am familiar with stink bugs entering buildings in Japan during this time of year (and have experienced it at other ryokans as well) however after removing nearly 40 of them from our unit during our 1 night stay I think it’s fair to say this property needs to address the problem.

Tucked away in the woods beside the river a few miles outside of Takayama you can escape, relax and recharge while enjoying two lovely onsens. The staff are impeccable and the food is truly delightful. This place has magic.

Absolutely exceptional service and magical location.

우선 종업원들이 눈 쌓인 곳까지 나와 차에서 트렁크를 내려서 끌지도 않고 들고 운반해주고(퇴실때에도 마찬가지…^^),가이세키 정식을 먹을때에도 친절하게 안내해주는 최고의 친절을 경험하게 되어 기분이 매우 좋았습니다. 창밖으로 보이는 개울물위에 소복하게 쌓여 있는 눈은 새삼 ‘눈멍’을 하게 합니다. 다음에 기회되면 다시 방문하여 더 많은 시간 와노사토의 공간을 경험하고 싶습니다^^

A very unique and traditional Ryokan !!

Everything about our stay was delightful! Delicious, healthy food, exceptional staff, and a beautiful inn.

This was a highlight of our roundtrip. Everything was above expectations and a very special and relxed stay in a beautiful ryokan with excellent staff. Gourmet traditional dinner and private onsen time included.

Beautiful property, delicious food! Highly recommend.

An exceptional and authentic Japanese experience. Worth going out of your way to visit. The atmosphere is simply stunning

We had a really wonderful time at Wanosato experiencing winter and snow in authentic Japanese setting. The staff were really welcoming and made our stay special, every detail of our stay was taken care of. We had the half-board with dinner and breakfast included. Really tasty dishes and tailored for us. Will be looking forward to visiting again.

Staff and property was great. On the first day however, the food that was offered was very little based on the total price that we spend for two nights; we went to bed hungry.

Love the experience and enjoying everything. Staffs are super friendly yet their service are the best warm and welcoming

Could not fault the service; staff were all lovely. Meals were exceptional! We stayed two nights - multi- course extravaganza night one and shabu-shabu night two. Japanese breakfasts were outstanding. The room we stayed in was huge and looked over the adjacent river and forest. Our stay was magical!

Wanosato was exactly what I hoped for in a ryokan. The buildings are beautiful, and the riverside setting in the forest was a dream. It felt hugely private and was so relaxing. Staff were lovely and the level of service was fantastic. The kaiseki dinner blew us away - the food was all delicious and the level of care in making it was amazing. I could not recommend this place enough, and am only sad that I could not stay longer!

Increíble lugar Atención y servicio inmejorable Lo mejor es la comida

Un lieu magique au bord de la rivière. Les chambres sont immenses et très belles. Le Onsen privatisable est génial. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse et d’une patience extrêmes, surtout que nous avons beaucoup changé nos plans sur les horaires d’arrivée et de départ et jamais ils ne se sont départis de leur sourire et de leur efficacité à trouver des solutions à tout. Le petit déjeuner typique japonais avec beaucoup de poissons est un peu « hard » pour un occidental, mais c’est un bon moyen de s’imprégner de cette culture fascinante et des traditions japonaises, tout comme la nuit sur des futons, confortables néanmoins. Merci pour cette expérience !

とても素晴らしかったです。ただもう少し庭に散策コースを作って森林浴ができれば最高だと思いました。
