This hotel was the highlight of our Japan Trip. We loved experiencing a traditional Ryokan. The staff was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. The onsen at the hotel was a great experience as well. We loved how Kaori hosted us for the Kaiseki dinner at our room. It was very interesting to try all the traditional dishes from Japan.
Nishimuraya Honkan was one of the most incredible hotels I've stayed at, a real highlight in our trip to Japan. The room was fantastic as were the hotel facilities (which include a great onsen) and the team too.
The kaiseki dinners in the room were utterly incredible and the Japanese breakfast each day was a delight.
We loved it.
The staff was incredible at this gorgeous property. A superb multi course dinner and breakfast were served in our room each day.
The room also includes a pass to all the public onsen, but the hotel also has two
Onsen for guests. I was the only one using them when I went.
We hated to leave, and plan to return. I give this hotel the highest marks.
Wonderful stay. Friendly, professional and accommodating staff from the moment we drove up to the property to when we depart. The staff even helped to sort out our luggage delivery to the next accommodation in another city. Our hostess Matsuri was sweet, polite and gracious.
The property itself is beautiful and exudes an old-world charm, and our room with in-room onsen is such a treat. The meals we had were also delicious and thoughtfully prepared and presented.
We had a lovely time at Nishimuraya Honkan and hope to return again.
BOOK THIS HOTEL! Loved our stay and totally worth the 2.5 hour train ride from Osaka. Was able to check in promptly at 3 p.m. and our bags were whisked away to our room. We immediately received our onsen pass and were able to get in a bath before our kaiseki dinner. The next morning we were able to explore more of the public baths and had an amazing breakfast. The town shops open around 11 a.m. so you can really get away with one overnight stay if not more. Beautiful property, relaxing stay and a nice option to visit a tattoo friendly onsen town
The premises were absolutely gorgeous and tranquil. The room attendant Mr. Koyama’s hospitality was excellent. Having been living away from Japan, for too long, I cannot judge the Kaiseki
cuisine… it did look very beautiful… I was hoping a little more of the crab in season. I wished I could have stayed an extra day or two. Thank you!
Prix très élevé mais établissement dont le service est impeccable! Repas inclus très "fancy" comprenant des aliments qui ne plaisent pas à tout le monde. On doit aussi s'attendre à dormir sur un matelas par terre, ce qui n'est pas idéal pour les personnes âgées ou celles dont le sommeil est léger.
Das Hotel ist bereits etwas älter, aber das macht auch den Charme aus. Alles ist extrem gepflegt, sehr schön angelegt. Service ist hervorragend, Abendessen und Frühstück sind außerordentlich.
What was good:
- Probably the ultimate Japanese ryokan experience, in a 150 year old inn.
- staff generally very friendly and helpful
- quality of food is very good
What could be better:
- Very expensive for what it is
- Rooms are fairly basic
- be prepared to be woken up early as the beds are taken away by 8am
it was the best ryokan experience ever could be imagine! Service is outstanding. The staff deal with us, westerners, in the most gracious manner possible explaining things about which we were ignorant. Food was great. Rooms and the garden are beautiful. It is an expensive property but it worths every penny of it.
Amazing stay for a Ryokan and onsen bath experience. We stayed for 2 nights and really enjoyed the peaceful town, delicious food, relaxing baths, and amazing service.
