Search Hostels in Tsubakihara

"Located about a 30 min walk from the bus terminal, the hotel runs a silver van shuttle every 20 minutes or so. This is a newer hotel, but has many delightful traditional elements. The whole place has a tatami mat like flooring, so shoes are left in lockers upon entering. The lobby area is built with old looking timber in the style of gasho buildings. The rooms were wonderfully done with the nice smell of tatami. The baths are wonderful with both interior and outside tubs in a variety of styles. They offer up nice extras like popsicles, free coffee after baths, and a 10:00 PM bowl of ramen, wonderful after an evening soak in the hotsprings. They have dinner and breakfast options at the hotel, but you need to order when you make your reservation, not on the spot when you arrive. We didn’t and soon found the eating options in town are limited. We did manage to find a nice yakiniku shop a 20 min walk from the hotel (call and reserve ahead when you check in) The atmosphere of the hotel is wonderful and very much in the culture of ryokan. "

"3 course meal dinner and breakfast buffet was excellent. Staff was very friendly. Bed's were comfortable. Surroundings of the property is really nice. They even offer pick up services from nearest station. "

"Easily the best place I stayed in whilst in Japan. It’s a ryokan and yet it has full 5 star hotel features. I chose a room with a private outdoor Onsen bath and kaiseki dinner option. Room was huge (75sq/m) with a separate bedroom, living room and sitting area with a wood burner. I started the fire and sat there for hours in between my private lovely hot onsen. There was also a vast public sitting room with massage chairs overlooking the shrine. Gorgeous. Mealtimes I looked forward to as it was gourmet level Japanese meal - everytime. I could not fault it at all. A big shout to Aki who looked after me - she was an amazing hostess 10/10 perfect. Hida furukawa is still a hidden gem with 2 sake breweries and old edo style street with wooden houses (now shops). This was my perfect stay and I will be back again and again. "
