The meals were our favorite in all of Japan. We loved the 10-course teppanyaki dinner, breakfast and afternoon pancakes. The hotel staff were extremely nice. We didn't speak Japanese but they had an English-speaking staff member. The onsen was fabulous too.

Amazing ryokan located in the picturesque Yamanaka village. The staff was very professional and caring. The room was spacious, with coffee and tea sets ready to use. We enjoyed the onsen, the yukatas, the afternoon pancakes, the evening drinks, the geiko performance and everything else very much. The food was delicious, both in Kissho and in their Sister hotel (free bar and unlimited tempura there). Honestly for everything we got the price was very reasonable. We even got a special celebration with cake, drinks and gift for my husband's birthday.

Nice town with many shops and very walkable. Nice path to walk along the river. Great cooking lesson at Sankaido confectionery shop. Food plan provided great meals, but we would like to have had a few meals in town. Transportation to and from Kagaonsen train station was free and very convenient. Room was spacious with a nice sitting area.

The breakfast is suitable for us, the quality is good. I drunk the night before and ate the salted fish with congee, it is good for stomach. Delicious. Because I got the hotel around 4:00p.m., it is almost full booking for the private hot spring, I can't share the comment for 3 private hot spring pools. Free pancake, coffee & juice, free beer(during Happy Hour), free dessert are good. I spent around 55,XXX Yen for one night and the dinner is quite good. If the beef (or steak?) is hot(just warm), I will give higher score on the food. Overall is good for the dinner. The room is tidy and the bed is set up ready after dinner. The shower room is big and with a hot tub, the tub can be enjoyed with 2 ppl. Overall is wonderful!

Nice traditional onsen with futon. Like the outdoor private and public onsen (I had it all to myself). Not too crowded. Good that there is a shuttle bus service to station. Near gorge.
