Ryokan Kono-Yu

Everything at this ryokan was amazing! The staff were extremely helpful, patient, attentive and kind. They were happy to help us with any request or question. The facilities were also incredible. The rooms, with their private onsens, massage chair and tatami-mat room made our stay so magical and relaxing. The private onsens really are magical and better than many onsens we visited, they are a great addition to help you escape reality and enter this magical mountainous place - In your own time and space. The breakfasts and dinners were also fantastic and mind-blowing! So much food, each course bursting with different flavours. Fantastic experience I highly highly highly recommend this ryokan to all.

Nothing - everything was spectacular.

Excellent staff, superb food, amazing onsen.

Bed and toilet on different floor

the small details you found in the room. The cute towel and hand bag you can take away as a souvenir. They cares a lot in general, offered a small drink for free since they are barely late to pick us from bus stop. The encourage you to savor every bite of your meal never rushed anything. Even the waitress in training showed her best. The always there friendly staff that actually try very hard to plan your trip tomorrow. Even my girlfriend speaks decent Japanese it’s actually better to consult the staff for trip and bus tips. The bathroom is great. The best thing is this ryokan is the version 2.0 of a traditional Japanese ryokan without all the small hassle that bugs you cuz of the age of the facility. The facility is actually on par with the new generation hotel you find else where. You know some Japanese ryokan built in late 80s can be a scary scene in the night.

They are the best onsen host winner of 2018 of Kurosawa area. I can’t say it’s the best value for money but it worth every penny A bit far from central street but they take you there by bus.
