I had a wonderful time at Kamesei Ryokan. The atmosphere was peaceful, and I was able to truly relax in the onsen. A great place to unwind and enjoy authentic Japanese hospitality.
We had a great stay here. It was lovely to be greeted upon arrival, to be given advice on what to do and where to eat. In the evenings, Tyler invited all of the guests for hot apple cider. One night he taught us a game and a dance; this sort of experience is what you hope to have when travelling. We enjoyed the onsen, especially that they swap the sides so that you can try both. We slept especially soundly, largely thanks to the onsen, but also the comfy and peaceful space. Thank you!
Great facility, and excellent food. I went in winter when the outdoor bath could not compete with the weather, so the indoor bath was hotter. The nearby restaurant, Rokkatei was excellent if you arrive before lunch or dinner at Kamesei
This was our family's first experience with onsen culture, and it did not disappoint! Tyler-san is a patient and kind host, sharing his love of local cuisine and traditions, leading or driving us to where we needed to go. We felt very welcome and really enjoyed the spa. The property is beautifully decorated and there is a place for everyone and every age, whether you need to curl up with a book, play the piano or board games, gaze at the garden, warm yourself by the fire, or enjoy soaking in the onsen. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
The property owner picked up us from the train station and dropped us off too. He gave us good advice around the area. I wish I could have stayed longer.
The owner is so friendly and fun. He will introduce their town when we check in. He even drives us to the train station before we ask. It’s a great roykan and I definitely this property is my friends.
Our stay here was amazing. I'm just sad that we only had two nights here, as we could have happily spent several days exploring the local area. We enjoyed the traditional Japanese inn and rooms, which were simply and beautifully decorated. The communal baths were nice, and I especially enjoyed the Hundred Year Bath, a delightful outdoor stone hot spring bath. We loved the private onsen, which we booked both nights of our stay. The ryokan is located near to many restaurants and bars. Tyler and Mari will tell you about the various options in the area and answer any questions. If you want a traditional Japanese ryokan experience, we highly recommend Kamesei Ryokan.
Our stay at the Kamesei Ryokan with host Tyler-San was a superb highlight of our 2 week trip in Japan. We loved the traditional inn & room, the hot onsen baths, the amazing dinner they cooked, and the hospitality of Tyler during our stay. Tyler even picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. We were able to make a day trip to see the snow monkeys as well. Having the ability to experience such a traditional experience was only possible with Tyler’s perfect English and kindness. My son who is learning Japanese just loved it, as did the whole family (2 adults, 2 kids age 15 & 13). I would highly recommend and hope to visit again!
Veldig koselig plass, men hyggelig japansk atmosfære. Vi fikk prøve Onsen som var veldig behagelig. Hyggelige ansatte som ga gode anbefalinger om området. Anbefales å prøve.
歴史ある建物とシアトルから来た若旦那のサービスがとても心地よい旅館。上山田温泉の良質な温泉の風呂と食事に加えて、海外からのお客様にも満足いただけるサービスでもっと滞在したくなりました。今回はB&B滞在でしたが次回は是非夕飯も頂きたいとおもいました。7つある外湯巡りの拠点としても最適です。
A very comfortable Japanese style hotel (Ryokan) with a historic building and the service of a young owner coming from Seattle. Because of the high-quality hot spa of Kamiyamada natural spring and breakfast meals served at the hotel, I wanted to stay longer and longer. The services would satisfy customers from both domestic and overseas. This time we stayed as B&B, so we missed to take the dinner. Next time we definitely have the dinner. at the hotel is located in the ideal place for the base in order for visiting the seven public hot spas around the Tokura Kamiyamada area.
