"We would highly, highly recommend Ichirino Kogen Hotel Roan. Dinner was phenomenal - some of the best food we had on our one month trip travelling around Japan. The variety of dishes, the freshness of the food, the beautiful presentation, and the harmony of the flavor combinations stood out to us. It was really delicious. The restaurant itself was comfortable and lovely. It was a little cold at first, but the grill warmed the room while the sake warmed us from the inside :) The service at the...

"This hotel was next level. From the amazing, friendly staff to the Hilton level amenities and standards. We were greeted in fluent English by super friendly staff to what seemed like a very empty resort. We believe it only seemed empty due to renovations to the second tower. We booked a private onsen for your family at the front desk and went to our beautiful room. The buffet dinner was fantastic and to follow the breakfast buffet was equally amazing. Best hotel we have stayed at so far on our...

Probably one of the best stays of my life. The stag was absolutely amazing, from start to finish. The attention to detail is impeccable, whilst not overwhelming. The room was wonderful, and the dinner and breakfast experiences magic. Overall, for the price of what would be a normal room in Tokyo, you get an outstanding experience. Lots of surprises, such as the massage chairs and public baths (all rooms seem to have a private onsen, ours certainly did. Our room was 4 different rooms (dinning...

Tokyu Stay Kanazawa

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is lovely, in a perfect location to the markets, shopping and just across the road from the Gion area. The room was comfortable, the beds are comfortable and the bathroom is of an ok size compared with other bathrooms in Japan. The only thing was the staff poor English. It made it difficult to communicate without a translator app, but nonetheless they were friendly and professional. The hotel is in a very good condition

10/10 Excellent

The hotel is well located 3 min from the train station. 1 min from the bus station and 10 min walk from the old town the main attraction. The room was spacy (suite style) and had a washing/dryer machine in the kitchen. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom OK Priced well and one last piece of advice: If you are planning to go to Shirakawa-go do NOT book accommodation there. Leave Takayama early enough (bus ticket-buy a day or two in advance) and either come back to Takayama the same night or...

In a holiday full of excellent hotels this one felt like a standout stay - a cute little building not far from the station (and, more importantly, the fish market, with genuinely lovely staff and excellent amenities. We arrived quite early, too early to check in, and were given a drink and told about the hotel before leaving our bags to explore. The room was delightful, a good size, a well stocked fridge of complementary drinks, a unit to dry clothes as part of the shower and a comfortable bed....
