Hotel that touches your heart & makes you feel at home”
I took the klook tour bus to iya valley from takamatsu station and the final stop is at this hotel. So there was no problem in getting to this hotel when though it is in the wilderness. This hotel also operates the boat ride in the beautiful gorge. You can get discount on the boat ride if you stay in the hotel. At the entrance of the hotel, you can see your name. They have staff to explain my stay in English/Mandarin. The explanation was super comprehensive - e.g. they will offer to give you a free ride to the obokekyo station with train timings for you to plan your trip. I did not book dinner and hence they informed me that the restaurant at the gorge area closed at 5 PM and they can fetch me to the convenience store if needed. When I entered my room, there was a crane folded using Singapore's flag and a paper with Singapore's flag printed to welcome me - this was really sweet. The onsen was great, it has a outdoor area which overlooks the gorge and the iconic red bridge. Breakfast was hearty and delicious and there was a Singapore's flag to welcome me at my designated dining table. There was a bug on the ceiling when I woke up which does not come as a surprise as we are located in the wilderness. The bug did not bother me so I was alright with it. But I think the best part is that they have an insecticide in the room with detailed instructions on how to kill and clean the bug. I requested for a ride to the station after I checked out and they welcomed me into the car with Singapore's flag. Will stay here again if I am visiting Iya valley again.

Thank you for commenting this time. We are very impressed by this comment. I was just sorry that there was an insect in the room. As it is hotel in the mountain insect may come in. I will check more carefully in the future. We are able to respond to customers coming from overseas with Japanese hospitality. Please come to the hotel if you have a chance to come to Japan again. All staff are waiting for you.

Dear Guest, Thank you for the great review of our hotel! We are glad that you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again very soon. Sincerely,
Service is extraordinary”
We are surprised that our names were addressed at the entrance of the hotel as a way to welcome guests. They also sent us a welcome message with a Japanese traditional paper bird when we enter our room. The staff patiently explained the dinner dishes for us which gave us a warm and impressive hospitality. When we were about to leave the hotel, we were each given a hand warmer as the weather was very cold in the morning. Another staff was waving national flags to which the guests belonged as to bid farewell to us. All these are very impressive. Moreover, the Chinese-speaking Taiwanese staff made us feel very at home. The best experience in our trip.

Look beyond the external facade, this hotel is a gem. They bother to welcome you in every way, from having your name listed at the main entrance, to all the nice touches such as having your country flag at dining table and a paper crane folded using your country’s flag. Interns from Taiwan help with the communication and see to your every needs. Location was fabulous, within walking distance to the boat ride. The room has all the amenities that you need and more.

Great Location”
The hotel is nicely located close to the gorge and you can walk to the boat for the river cruise. (not too exciting but nice). Staff are very helpful and the rooms are spacious and clean. Very good food in the morning and evening meals. Hot bath was good but the outdoor bath was too cool.

Beautiful area! Good service! Thoughtful & Caring!”
We reserved 2 Japanese style rooms: one with 3 adults and the smaller room with my kids aged 5 and 3. We felt welcomed when we entered the hotel because we saw our names on the bulletin board. The girl at the counter could speak mandarin so it was good. The room was very clean and well equipped. Upon arrival, I was communicating with the hotel staff that I was traveling with younger children and ordered one kids meal. So the hotel was very caring prepared some kids amenities such as kids hangers, a bigger garbage can in the toilet for diapers, 2 vests in case my children got cold at night, children’s slippers, kids toilet seat, and kids bathrobe for hot spring. The staff also explained to us what to pay attention in the room and hot spring before we entered our room. Dinner and breakfast were great! Good food and presentation. My two kids just shared one meal perfectly and they couldn’t even finish. Knowing that we were from Canada and Hong Kong, those flags were sitting on the dining table welcoming us. The only complain I have was the futon mattress. It was uncomfortable. I have had better ones before. And I think I could hear water dropping in the down pipe in the middle of the night because it was raining a bit. In general, the hotel was great situated right beside the beautiful river with friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend to those with kids. They stay for free within an age range, unlike the other hotels.

Great amenities and dinner!”
This hotel was small but located at a good place. I was able to walk to it from Oboke station (no luggage, only a backpack though) and it was near to the scenic valley cruise (operated by the same company I guess). Both the hotel and cruise emphasize on personalizing their welcomes to you. So from guide book, to name tag to welcome note to your dining table, you will always see your country flag. The Taiwanese seems to enjoy that very much, I'm not sure about others. I personally felt that it was overdone and that the welcome note on the room table was good enough. I'm here to immerse in a different country's culture, so I really don't need to be reminded of my country so many times. All else were great. I especially like it that they have some great amenities like a face steamer. Very helpful in the winter. The onsen was great. Esp the outdoor bath. Loved the dinner. Every dish tasted great. I'd recommend this hotel to my friends.

Beautiful majestic view of the gorge! After the rain, the misty scenic view is so surreal. Location wise it's so convenient, the bus stop is just a few steps across the hotel. Staff makes you feel so welcome, with our country flag waving us welcome and when we check out. Food is superb too! A wonderful stay overall!

Hotel with lots of personal touch & with Chinese speaking intern from Taiwan ”
This hotel is near the Oboke station & surrounded by beautiful nature. The Yoshinogawa river is just too magnificent to forget. Travelers need to have car to navigate the nearby attraction like Karazu suspension bridge. What surprise me though is the personal touch of the staff of the hotel. They have Chinese speaking interns from taiwan's Kao Yuan university. They print singapore flag logo on the dinner & breakfast menu. They fold a paper crane with Singapore flag on it, they displayed singapore flag before we left. I bet they did the same to all other visitors from all over the world. Hotel is old but pretty well maintained for guest facilities. I really think this hotel has lots of element for success. Overall a good experience with this onsen hotel.
