It was an amazing place to stay while being fairly close to the snow Monkeys. Staff were amazing and assisted us with alot of things. Definitely recommend!

Our host was excellent and very helpful throughout the process, the room was spacious and offered an authentic feel, and the ryokan was in an excellent location.

Nothing!

A wonderful place to stay and highly recommended. The inn is very traditional, clean and has its own onsen. The Japanese breakfasts were delicious and different each day. One of the main reasons I stayed for 5 days was to practice Kyudo as Uotoshi Ryokan has its own dojo and Miyasaka San is both the Ryokan owner as well as the dojo master. Each day Miyasaka San offered 2-4 hours of Kyudo lessons and he also allowed me to join his local Kyudo club on Sunday afternoon and Wednesday evening. The dojo is simply magnificent surrounded by sugi trees with a carp pond in the middle from which a stream runs underneath the dojo. Miyasaka San is a wonderful host, very knowledgeable and speaks excellent English. I can’t wait until my next visit.

Wonderful experience. The room was very nice. We enjoyed the onsen, which is available 24/24. The breakfast was excellent. The most amazing was the Kyūdō demonstration. We were even able to try it too. We could stay with our dog without any problem.

It would be nice to have a drawer for the clothes.

Master very friendly and helpful, old-fashioned nice bath. Very much old-Japan. I like it, My second time there. I will come again.

Very nice. An old Japanese house, full of charm and old things,..even archery., and a traditional (oldfashioned) bath. I liked it and I am sure, people who want to experience Japan will like it. The measter spaeaks very good English.

The room partitions are a little thin, noisy neighbours will be a nuisance, Please take care!

This Ryokan is fantastic. The room was so large and comfortable. The location was wonderful, very close to the station. The staff was so friendly and helpful (and everyone spoke english).

Upon arrival, we noticed our names written on the outside welcome board - such a nice touch and a warm welcome from the friendly owners of this ryokan. The room was spacious and we loved having the kotatsu (a low, wooden table frame covered by a blanket, with a heat source underneath). Very comfortable futons to sleep on as well. The owners were kind and helpful and speak perfect English. This is a pet-friendly property - hard to find in the area.

The owner was very nice and was very accommodating for our cat. The onsen is old, but comfortable and I had a great nights sleep. Also, a lot of interesting antiques to have a look at. When we stay here again my wife and I want to try the archery.

Very friendly owner, good location.

Though the ryokan has its spirit, it's well worn and in need for renovation.
