First time of a ryokan

Very friendly staff and exquisit food on top of that. First time visiting a ryokan and was not disappointed! Three private onsens that i could use and very foreign friendly overall. Highly recommend to visit if you want a taste of ryokan life on your trip and worry of your tattoes forsbid you from using the onsen - it is totally ok att this place!

Staying at Shima Onsen was a real delight. I would highlight the incredibly friendly and gracious staff, who made me feel very welcome and looked after as a solo traveller, and made the beautiful dining experience even better. I enjoyed walking through the lovely nearby streets and forests - it felt very secluded and tranquil. And there was nothing better than coming back from a big walk to relax into one of the onsen - either public or private, depending on what you preferred. I wish I had more time to stay, but even two nights was enough to feel very rejuvenated.

I really enjoyed my stay at Kashiwaya Ryokan. Although it was long to get to without a car, it was worth the travel. The 2 days there didn’t feel like it was enough time. I will return again for sure. The room was comfortable, the private onsen were beautiful and amazing. The kaiseki served at dinner were delicious and perfectly balanced. The traditional Japanese breakfast (there were Western styled breakfast and brunch at the cafe in Shima Onsen town) was incredible as well. I want to thank the dedicated staff members I interacted with during my stay. They were kind and patient. I don’t recall all their names but I want to thank Hitomi, Yuho and Andrew for their help. I will recommend this ryokan to my friends.

いつ訪れても変わらず素敵な宿です。

7年ぶりに宿泊しました。とても静かな中で川のせせらぎが聞こえてくるので本当に癒されます。お風呂も貸し切り温泉が3つあり、好きな時に入れるので大満足です。食事もとても美味しく、あゆの炊き込みご飯が絶品でした。朝食のパンと、リンゴジャムが本当に大好きです。一番大好きな温泉宿です。少し離れた場所にある柏屋カフェも大好きで、イタリアンラーメンがとても美味しくて毎回必ず行きます。今回久しぶりにいただきましたが、お店の雰囲気も変わらず素敵で、イタリアンラーメンも美味しかったです。最近は海外ばかりで気づけば7年も訪れていませんでしたが、またぜひ宿泊させていただきたいです。

落ち着いた雰囲気の温泉宿

読書コーナーに旅関係の図書がたくさんありました。フリーのコーヒーもおいしくて、もっとゆっくりしたかったです。全体にノスタルジックな雰囲気、古くはあるが、どこも清潔でした。食事は野菜が豊富で工夫が凝らされていましたが、うどんの入った鍋は別の料理の方が良かったかな？朝食は和洋選べます。洋食のパンは暖かく、特にクロワッサンはおいしかった。バターとジャムの量がパンに対して少なく、「もっとたっぷり付けて食べられたら満足度100％だったのに」と、残念です。

Kashiwaya Ryokan is a superb ryokan that you should consider if you are looking for a ryokan experience during your trip to Japan. What makes it unique is the fact that it is small, located deep in the mountains, quaint and offers excellent service and food. Add in the fact that the price won't break the bank (especially for what you are getting) and it makes it have excellent value. Is it the perfect onsen? Of course, not. I doubt you find the "PERFECT" ryokan without paying over $600 a night. But Kashiwaya Ryokan is perfect in its own way. They make you feel really special, treat you very well, and provide a stellar experience. From the time you walk in the door from the time you walk out, everything is done perfectly such that you have an excellent stay. Food is great, service is wonderful, location is great, and everything is just so relaxing and pleasant. I would definitely stay here again if I ever make it back to Japan and want to do a ryokan. I highly recommend it for anyone considering a ryokan as part of their trip.
