Guest Reviews

Kurayashiki

Trip.com 8.0 Family

Rooms are clean and much larger than expected. Onsen is great.

Limited service and check-in process could be improved.

Trip.com 10.0 Couple

Attentive details like private dining tables make the stay much better.

Agoda 8.8 Couple

Authentic Japanese ryokan vibes with a very kind owner.

Not for those seeking luxury hotel-style service.

Nakaya Ryokan

Staff upgraded to tatami room for family. Good dinner/breakfast with kids' cereal. Smooth private onsen booking.

Exceptional staff, excellent food, amazing family onsen. Tasty varied breakfast.

Bento instead of kaiseki, disappointing.
