Hotels in Takamori

"Fabulous high class European style food, friendly knowledgeable staff and wonderful observatory and star gazing experience set in a peaceful location with lovely maisonette style chalets."

"Newly renovated Kumamon room made will make you smile. There are many photo opportunities with Kumamon in the property. Breakfast buffet is highly recommended. "

"Although Takachiho is a very small and quaint little town in the mountain countryside, this hotel is a gem. Service, quality and amenities beats many hotels in cities across Japan."

"I had a lovely time here. The cabin was clean and the personal onsen was very relaxing."

"The place offers deep tubs in each room as well as a public ofuro. I didn't get to use the (milky way) onservatory due to weather conditions, but it is available. The best part for my stay was however was due to the friendly owner. He had given me info for best local spots and I enjoyed my chat with him. Hope his business prospers."

"Hotel was lovely. Room very large, definitely a Western feel but with some Japanese features (eg sliding doors separating living compartments). As with most Japanese hotels it has no cupboards! Large lounge for heating/eating food which was great and cheap washing facilities too. Location excellent, good base for visiting the area, although a car is an essential."

"Highly recommend.perhaps a 2-3 night stay would be best to enjoy the activities offered at the site."

"I would giv"

"It’s just ok. Close to the train. Dated facilities, but clean enough. Breakfast is meh. Bed is just a hard box springs with an old foam rubber pad on top; not very comfortable. Overall this hotel is ok for the price paid, but next time in the area I’ll likely look for another hotel."

"部屋の中に湯船があり、いつでも入ることができます。朝ごはんもしっかりあり、大変おいしかったです。何度きても静かで黒川温泉はいいところだなと思います。"

"Perfect "

"Very nice room overlooking the river, sound of frogs and water running all night. Beautiful. Interesting Japanese menu for breakfast and dinner, great to try something new. Staff was very kind and friendly. Everything was amazing and memorable."

"A peaceful and relaxing simple retreat. Old style ryokan with tatami mats etc. We used the men only onsen and were basically alone in there. It was very clean and hot. Perfect. Also they offered complimentary coffee, tea and ramen cup. They provided everything we needed for using the baths. "

"This was my first experience at at ryokan, and the inn is one I would gladly visit again. Great staff, comfortable beddings, fantastic exteriors, and amazing spa facilities (both public and private). It's a bit of a walk from the main town, though."

"The hotel had multiple onsen each of different style. Very enjoyable. The view from the room faced forestry, which would be beautiful in autumn when the leaves turned red. The sound on rushing water from the rapids nearby gave a soothing feeling. The service staff coordination was great too, when you arrive or checked out, they will ask for your name or room number, then inform recep or the car assistant to prepare your keys. Things which were not great 1/ food at the buffet was often cold or like warm,other than soup. 2/ would have been nicer if it were kaiseki"

"Enjoyed our luxurious stay. Everyone was so friendly and kind. The property and area are beautiful. We booked a room with a private bath to add to the luxury. Also a bit shy being westerners so got to enjoy a lot of baths without feeling uncomfortable. Food was good and presentation was gorgeous. Almost too much for us but that seems to be standard with kaiseki meals!"

"This place is a wonderful escape. It is very rural and rustic. The wonderful staff will accommodate your every need and the food is incredible. We had such a relaxing stay. Book a room with a private tub. You will not regret it."

"A perfect experience, great food and a wonderful Ryokan. Highly recomend"

"This was the most charming, hospitable, beautiful and unforgettable Ryokan in Japan! The meals were so well thought out and crafted. Every little dish was delicious. We felt the care and love from the kitchen. We stayed in the room with a private onsen. Highly recommend this place."

"Great service. Food as part of the half boarding was good. Personalized care "

"Though hard to find a location from the google map hotel was great. Especially I enjoyed the hot spring."

"Amazing staff and hospitality! Went above and beyond our entire stay. "

"My only complaint is the road to get to the container villa is so obviously made for a one way but the kurokawa onsen village decided that traffic can struggle to figure out who has the right of way and reverse in the middle of the road… very dangerous but any who.. The actual container villa was such a vibe from the moment I pulled into the parking lot. So convenient that they had signs pointing to where I needed to go to check in and instructions in both the email and the tablet used to check in. They even had english available. Not to mention they had Louis Armstrong playing in the parking lot which gave me such a nostalgic feeling. Very wholesome experience. The kurokawa onsen area is such a quaint vibe combined with the villa’s modern take on a nostalgic past time in America. 10/10 experience. I would definitely revisit! "

"Service staffs are very friendly and helpful. The onsen is decent and their dinner and breakfast are superb. "

"everything was fine..."

"The owners were very kind even though we had limited communication "

"Perfect stop for next morning's trip to Mt Aso."

"We are a party that booked 3 rooms at Kai Aso for 2 nights. Whilst the English speaking reception staff were always helpful, unfortunately one room, No 11, was totally inadequate & substandard. Room floor heating was not working both nights. Whilst the room temp showed 30C, it felt like 20 max 23C. It was very cold both nights, outside temp dropped to 0C both nights. For the first night the staff provided a heater and the second night another one was added. Third day morning, the heating for water supply did not work and staff thankfully managed to restore heating to the water supply. Second room 13, wash basins in the bathroom were clogged with very poor water drainage. Whilst the floor heating worked in 2nd room, the bathroom was also cold and not 30C as indicated, more likely 23C which is not comfortable. I lodged a strong complaint but all the manager in charge, Mr. Sayumi Ueda offered nothing except perfunctory words of apology and contrition. Hoshine group markets itself, many of their hotels/ryokans as 5 star properties, which I think includes Kai Aso, as we paid an expensive rate to stay. This was our third stay in the property and whilst the 1st two were good, the recent stay left a very unpleasant experience. High end international hotel chain will normally compensate in monetary form or credit for a future stay provided. Udea said NONE can be offered, so tarnishing Hoshino's reputation. Is their management aware of their managerial response? Be warned! "

"Super large room with outdoor bath love it"

"The best onsen hotel that we ever stayed at! the room is huge and hospitality was outstanding! also, dinner was very delicious as well! highly recommend this onsen hotel "
