We felt cheated. This was our second visit to Wanosato and we stayed at the same suite (Tenryu), but the experience was completely different. The room smelled strongly musty (our clothes in the suitcase still smelled the same mustiness for days after leaving Wanosato). There were cobwebs and balls of dust in the room. As a result, our dust allergy was so severe that my wife had to keep a face mask on in order to sleep. It was clear that Wanosato was short of staff. Rarely anyone at the counter; even the dinners were toned down/reduced from our last stay 4 years ago. It was not the staff's issue. They worked hard and had a good attitude. It was the issue with the management/owner. Faced with staffing shortage, the management apparently chose to maximize profit by making available more rooms than the staff could handle, and in the process the service standard deteriorated significantly. To be charged 250,000 yen per night for the suite, we expected better (at least a clean suite). The steadfast commitment to quality by luxury ryokans and hotels in Japan is the reason we keep coming back. Such trust is lost with Wanosato. We will not revisit in the future.

This is a beautiful self contained apartment on 2 levels. Downstairs is a bathroom/shower and living area. Upstairs a bedroom with a small terrace. Access is by door code supplied by the owner or in our case Booking.com. Unfortunately guests in the other apartment had not been given the door code by their booking agent and did not speak English or Japanese. Fortunately we were able to phone the owner for them. Definitely a communication problem by their booking agent or a language issue by the owner. The apartment is very ''Japanese'' in the sense that the bed is only about 1 foot off the ground. The lounge was also low and uncomfortable and the dining table was so low that it could not be eaten off nor used for a computer. This was extremely annoying. There was also not a single chair in the apartment. Overall even though immaculate the apartment was poorly designed. The kitchen was huge but nowhere to sit and eat!! After we had booked we sought to contact the owners to extend our booking but they had no English language skills at all and we had a frustrating series of emails back which did not help. As we could not stay an extra night (it was festival weekend) we then needed to move to another hotel for a single night whereas we would have preferred to stay at ItoMori.

I like the Tanabe hotel very much. The grandma is very cute. Japanese introduced us to some of the hotel facilities in English. He took us to choose a bathrobe and asked us where we came from. Then I said thank you in Chinese. Then I introduced the hotel wall. The calligraphy on it was written by her dad. Her dad is an artist. It is really great. The grandma in the hotel are all dressed in kimonos. They prepare dinner for us after a busy day and then introduce the menu. The dinner was super rich and we were stunned. It is banquet cuisine. It is richer than kaiseki cuisine. Every dish is exquisite and delicious. The seafood is fresh. There are two or three slices of Hida beef. Did not eat a very special flavor, but the meat is not old, okay, we have a total of four people occupy a room to enjoy this hearty banquet cuisine, beautiful.

Good size rooms. Modern and chic. You will need a car if you intend to stay here. Like the free usage of the toaster and the microwave oven. Not many restaurants though. Staff was friendly too.

On the weekend of the autumn leaf peak, we used it for 5 parents and children. I chose it because the price was reasonable, but it was a great answer. The children were very excited about the bell system of the rental open-air bath ”constellation hot water” like the Pythagora switch, and the amount of food for children was large and equivalent to adults, and the satisfaction was high As others commented, the inn itself was not denied with the atmosphere of the year, but it was generally a good inn, including the hospitality of the inn.

I stayed at a traditional ryokan in Takayama several years ago and that was hard to top. This time, my husband and I decided to find a different property to stay in and Machiya gave us such a wonderful experience. We stayed in the Deluxe Loft room; it was spacious enough for a family of 3 adults and one young kid. The quality of the room was good and expected, but it's the friendly and helpful attitude of the staff that is highly commendable. Whenever we have questions about F&B, attractions, or even needed help with the delivery of our Rakuten order, the staff was ever so accommodating and helpful. Even my 5yo kid could feel the friendliness of the staff that he drew them a TQ card before we checked out. 10/10 recommend!

I contacted my family in advance, and came to pick me up at the waiting area on the second floor of the JR station. The location of the cabin is very quiet in the middle of the mountain, and the facilities are reasonably arranged. Although the public bathroom is shared, it does not affect the use. Sitting by the fire in winter is warm and cozy. Five-course dinner, except for the slightly salty pasta, everything else is perfect. Western breakfast is also very hard. Because of the early departure, the hostess prepared for us alone twenty minutes in advance, and the full score was well deserved.

The city is very small, so any place I imagine is a good location, that is next to the train station. A summary of my hostel> bathrooms are extremely clean, good air conditioning of the place, organized place, a bit cold but courtyard service, very simple breakfast type self-service included in the price, comfortable bed, It's a good place to keep your things, sleep reasonable, because it's a bedroom, some people come late in the night making noise, but if you're with a tight budget, you're paying what you're paying, so I generally liked it.

Although we were a group of nine people, the place was so spacious that it didn't feel cramped at all. We were also very satisfied with the location, cleanliness, and facilities, as well as the access to the station and convenience stores. Highly recommended!
