Four-Star Hotels in Nakanojo

I spent many hours in my Kashotei room enjoying the view sipping tea. I lost track of time. that's a sign of a good holiday.

An unforgettable ryokan experience. The place is remote, but well worth the trip. The rooms are very comfortable and the balcony overlooks the nearby river. The public and private onsens provide for a variety of hot spring stones and have been tastefully decorated for a peaceful experience. The Japanese dinner and breakfast felt very special as the host (Hitomi :) ) guides you through the menu and the restaurant has a great selection of the local sake. I really appreciated the attention to detail in the decor and guest experience. The cherry on the top was the check-out, where the guests are sent off with soap bubbles. I hope to return soon.

The place was very clean. The Staff are exceoptional and exteremely friendly. The location is a lil far but still easy to get to and in the end, you are rewarded with a serene place, and lovely weather even in the summer. The pictures I shared of the srounding area are in the summer.

Where do I even start — this was our favourite stay in Japan! We originally booked for two nights but ended up extending our stay after a typhoon warning was issued for our next destination. The staff were incredibly accommodating, helping us weigh our options and moving us into another available room for the extra nights, ensuring that breakfast and dinner were included. Our host, Hinata, was absolutely wonderful. She spoke clear English and went over every detail of our stay — from cleaning times to meal preferences — with such care and professionalism. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with soft, cosy beds, including a TV with Netflix and Disney! Making it easy to spend the day inside doing nothing! The food was exceptional — comparable to a fine Australian degustation that would easily cost hundreds back home. One night, we were even treated to dinner at their sister restaurant down the road, where we enjoyed delicious Wagyu steak, complete with pick-up and drop-off service. There were also snacks and alcoholic drinks available for purchase, plus a daily happy hour from 2–5pm. The private onsens, both in-room and in the public facility, were perfect for unwinding — with free Yakult on hand as a thoughtful touch. They also offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off at the local bus stop for both arrival and departure, which made everything so seamless. It was the perfect escape from the bustle of Tokyo — relaxing, memorable, and truly special. I can’t wait to return!

Well situated on the Ikaho Stone Steps, Kishigon Ryokan had a wonderful check in service and large breakfast buffet selection. The 3 onsen choices were all different. The open aspect onsen was my favourite. There was a magnificent view as you stepped out of the main elevator.

This was more like a resort than a hotel, with Onsen instead of pool. Such a beautiful spot and the staff were so kind, attentive and helpful. We are so grateful to them.

well situated 5 minutes walk from the station and handy for a number of shops. the breakfast was good and served in a room with a really great view.

Fantastic room with a stunning mountain view, great outdoor onsen by the river, delicious food, such friendly staff, very personal service!

Everything! Location in the middle of town. Staff are super friendly. Rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable. Food of quality. Amazing onsen experience.

Very beautiful ryokan with super friendly staff! The surroundings were beautiful and I love that we could book our own onsen for a decent price. It was a short walk to everything so very practical in terms of location.
