Its a magic place. I was 30 years ago and it keeps its spirit

Good place for its price point. Authentic food in the region, full japanese staff (as we could see), no fuss but no extras too. Great view of the mountains if you get the right room. I would say value for money place.
Set in a valley surrounded by green mountains, Kishigon Ryokan is 7 minutes’ walk from Ikaho Shrine. It provides a sauna, massages and public and private reservable hot-spring baths.

Amazing staff, great food, beautiful onsens, extremely comfortable and well maintained. Loved this establishment.
Featuring traditional Japanese hot springs known as ‘onsen’, these hotels allow you to take a relaxing soak in therapeutic geothermal waters. Traditionally, onsens were located outdoors but a number of hotels also offer indoor facilities for private or shared use. The healing properties of each onsen will vary depending on its location, with ‘kuroyu’ black water known for its positive effects on skin.
Tranquil, beautiful setup with Indoor and outdoor onsens. Bus stop right opposite the hotel takes you back to the train station. Would definitely recommend
Great highrise riverside ryokan furnished with good taste of traditional interior. Much better than many ryokans of this type which use cheaper artificial materials. The private onsen was fabulous and met our expectation.
The whole facility was very clean and spacious including the rooms. Relaxing indoor and outdoor onsen baths. Nice Japanese breakfast, however you have to book it in advance. Friendly and helpful staff.
Staff were exceptional in the Ryokan, they looked after us from start to finish! We really enjoyed our time in the private onsen being able to relax surrounded by the sound of the river next to the baths and the dinner which followed was amazing!
Everything, the staff was very friendly, professional and helpful. Japanes breakfast and diner were awesome. The private onsen was great. First time stay in a Ryokan and I will definitely do it again next time in Japan, hopefully in Shima Onsen Kashiwaya Ryokan 🙏
Such an amazing stay! The staff were so friendly and kind! The food experience was amazing and the private onsens were so special. Would highly recommend going for a couple nights to fully relax and enjoy the ryokan!
It was one of the best boutique ryokans we had stayed, located in a beautiful charming shima onsen. Service was personable. There are 3 lovely private onsen baths for guest to use freely. Meals were excellent - exquisite and delicious! There’s free coffee/tea at a little library area. We used the free bicycles provided to cycle to town and beyond which was so much fun. Our only regret - should have booked 2 nights stay at least.
