LITERALLY THE BEST EXPERIENCE IN JAPAN. I am a Japanese American and have been to Japan several times and have stayed at different ryokans but this exceeded my expectations. First of all, the beauty of this hotel from the moment you walk in. I literally gasped when I walked in front of the ryokan. It is so breathtaking and you can see and feel the history of this ryokan. The lobby is on the 5th floor so when you first go, it's very confusing but after your first try you can basically navigate the ryokan very easily. The hotel staff were extremely professional and very friendly. They welcome you with hot tea and a cake and explain everything in detail. You are then escorted by a staff member to your room to explain everything. I got the bigger room and OMG the room was amazing. It was worth every penny! The private onsen with the beautiful balcony! We had a fully stocked complimentary fridge along with tea and coffee. There was a kotatsu in my room, a full living room, and two beds with the most fluffy comforter ever. We also received a Kaiseki style breakfast and dinner and the service was amazing there as well. The dinner was an 11 course dinner and it was amazing! I would have stayed there for a week if it wasn't for the price. I highly recommend!

Japanese inn Kashiwaya Ryokan offers traditional-style rooms with a private balcony. The spa hotel features private open-air natural hot spring baths, a restaurant and free-use bicycles. Free WiFi is available in all areas except in the public bath area.

I absolutely adore this ryokan, it's the second time I've been here and it's just amazing. The staff are super lovely, the hotel is huge and clean and smells great, it has three private beautiful hotsprings, and the food is amazing. They said it would be a bit tough to make vegetarian food for one person, but every day I had a personalized menu and it was so delicious! The whole town is just adorable and the hiking in the area is great.
