Excellent Ryokan to experience Zao Onsen”

Excellent stay at the Ryokan with good services and friendly staff. The staff is waiting to pick us up from the Bus Station Terminal despite no reservations. The Ryokan is 400m away from the bus terminal but upslope, hence pick up services are appreciated. They checked with us on what food restrictions from the start to ensure the dinner and breakfast are prepared accordingly. The ryokan has a number of onsens to enjoy. Private onsen is available at 2700yen for 50mins as well. Most of the staffs can communciate in English. The ryokan has no elevators but it is not really an issue for us. The room is consisted to be big and definitely a good choice to stay if coming to Zao Onsen.

Worth every penny”

If u are Muslim, please let them know earlier on the food limitations and the hotel try to meet our special request on the food option and it was fantastic. Even though they dont have halal meat and we did not request halal meat to be served (might be extra charge or will trouble them to find it), they will provide you a local food based on seafood and vegetables. Even though it looks simple but it is enjoyable and delicious. Hope they will provide halal food option in the near future. If u want to try the public bath please try it after dinner or midnight time because most of the guest will take the bath before dinner during my stay.

Ryokan with a history ”

What a lovely ryokan with a maze of corridor! Takamiya has been operating for more than century. The service is prefect and as expected from a ryokan. Food was generous and delicious! Onsen was indeed relaxing. We enjoyed our stay at Takamiya ryokan miyamaso and will choose to stay here again. As the ryokan entry is up a steep rock steps, you can ask the staff to assist with your luggages.

Don't recommend this hotel”

All stairs inside and outside of the hotel are extremely steep. It is not suitable for elderly and children. Most of the staffs don't treat guests equally. They talk with the foreigner (the western) enthusiastically, but using authoritative tone for the Asian (except the Japanese). They showed no respect and impatient, also impolite. The bathroom inside the room is terribly old and dated, as the facet is covering with stain.

Japanese hospitality at its best. From pick up at the bus station, check-in to meal service as well as check-out the staff were all wonderful. The food and service was fantastic, fresh ingredients throughout dinner and breakfast. There are 2 types of Onsens, the traditional and the more modern Onsen situated in the Ryokan. Would recommend to try both as they are quite different. Rooms were spacious and clean.
