Book Tawaramaya Onsen hotels

I'd never stayed in a ryokan before, but have always heard what it was like. I can confidently say, after being in this one, that ryokans are an exceptional place to relax. The traditional rooms are spacious, has a great views, and sleeping in a futon on tatami is a classic for a reason! The amenities are very nice too, with two whole building's worth of stuff! A public bath, karaoke, arcade, bowling, an izakaya, etc. Probably the only thing I would like is wifi in the room (it's only otherwise found in the lobby). But other than that, a wonderful experience I am glad to have had!

Sumptuous breakfast and dinner. Onsen in the balcony with excellent view.

Japanese trad room with lovely staff and retro restaurant Lovely experience

Worth every cent we paid as it had two large beds and plenty of room to move around. The small breakfast was good to start the day of and the free parking was close by.

What a great refreshing spot to find during a hot and busy trip. The owners go over the top to ensure your stay is everything you hope. I can’t say enough good things about them. Thank you

The hotel is 15 min walk from the "train station" where the train does not run now (there is a bus instead), or 5 min walk on a steep slope or stairs from a bus stop (this is also an only parking lot), which was hard for my old parents. The hotel staff are trained to be very kind for routines, but when we came back to pick up something we forgot, the staff made an obvious frown and even denied at the beginning ... I had to ask again before she finally went to check and brought us what we left behind. Food was OK relative to the similar level of hotels.
