Yarimikan

Lovely Ryokan, close to the busy stop. Everything is clean and the staff is friendly and attentive. Spacious room and comfortable futon. The onsen baths are lovely, on the riverside for a great view of the valley, you can "reserve" four of them for private use for a bit of time, just locking the door. Dinner was superb

May 15-16, 2024 From the moment we saw photos of this special place on the internet, we knew we had to stay here! The natural rock onsen baths caught our imagination - and our stay was wonderful beyond expectations! The resort is located in a forested valley is stunning, next to a rushing river. Natural mountain hot spring water is channeled into 7 lovely outdoor onsen baths, as well as ensuite baths. The facility is beautifully designed with gardens and multi-level suites, with each of the levels looking out to the river, with plenty of seating to enjoy the relaxing and lovely views. We were treated with limitless thoughtful hospitality from the moment we arrived, to the moment we left - in fact, one of our group kept commenting "the y[the staff] must think we're really special!". The suite was beautifully appointed with tatami mats, traditional Japanese decor, comfortable beds, yukata and slippers are provided along with tabi socks and plenty of clean linens. Our suite had its own private onsen bath encircled by natural stones, and constantly running hot spring water. Such a contrast to water-parched California and even Hawaii where we're from! The outdoor onsens are open all night, for viewing of the starry night sky. The kaiseki dinner was exceptional, with many many delicious small plates, each exquisitely prepared and presented - a petite, freshly caught local fish was skewered as if swimming and roasted in a salt shell. Utterly delicious! In the morning, after a similarly wonderful breakfast, we experienced a mochi-pounding session with the hotel staff and guests joining in - lots of fun - photos were provided! Transportation - It was a challenge figuring out how to get to this place - finally, we had a Japanese-speaking hotel clerk call the resort, and got instructions for the 1-hour bus ride from Takayama bus station to Shinhotaka Onsen / Nakao Kou-gen-guchi. There are buses running every hour! We walked to the resort from the bus stop when we arrived, and a shuttle van to the bus stop was thoughtfully provided by the resort when we left. PS) I was unable to upload photos. Please provide an email, because you won't want to miss seeing this beautiful place!

服務滿分，食物滿分，景色滿分，温泉滿分 無可挑剔 期待二刷

居然在攜程訂到了兩晚超級難訂的槍見館！價格不到2000，太感人了！ 從高山坐開往新穗高的巴士，在H058下車，下車後按我畫的路線走大約10分鐘，英語好也可電話酒店來接吧。 日本祕湯協會成員酒店，温泉有特色，有9個温泉，其中兩個混浴温泉，4個私湯。 酒店早晚餐都很好，我們住了兩晚，第二天的晚餐更講究，品質更高。因為需要很早離開酒店，我們無法在酒店用早餐，酒店貼心給準備好了便當。 有特色的温泉酒店，推薦喜歡泡温泉的人入住。

室內浴室有異味，工作人員及時清理

餐食不錯，温泉很不錯，很好的温泉混湯體驗。

Our stay was very comfortable, and the staff were kind and attentive. We really felt immersed in authentic Japanese culture. Our two-night stay was so restorative. We did not have any trouble getting time alone in the private and group onsens. We were nervous about embarassing ourselves, not knowing the details of onsen etiquette, but the room had all the clothing supplies we needed for our entire stay, and they also gave a booklet of instructions. I added on a Japanese massage, and it was great. The food was delicious, even though it was outside our comfort zone. We loved the ceremony of the dishes and courses. Tip -- there's a quick 15min walk behind the inn to a waterfall. We discovered it but don't think people often do!

We had a fantastic two nights in early June enjoying Yarimikan’s hospitality. This was our first experience of a Japanese ryokan but we are sure that we completely “lucked in” with choosing Yarimikan. It was an amazing experience and will certainly live on in the memory. It was an easy bus ride (about an hour and half) from Takayama, we walked from the bus stop to the property (only 10 minutes) although Yarimikan offered to pick us up. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and always available to make your stay as comfortable as possible - truely lovely people. The location is stunningly beautiful, quiet and secluded with the outdoor onsens all down by the river, all offering something different but each lovely in their own way. It poured with rain while we were there but that was fine as the river was “raging” which made the views from the outdoor onsens even more dramatic. The food was sensational and the two evening meals we enjoyed rate up there with two of the best meals we have ever had. The sleeping arrangements are very traditional Japanese, hard beds on tatami mats with hard pillows, not for everyone but part of the experience and are fine. We lived in the Yukata they provided for the whole time we were there which was so comfortable and immediately made us feel at home. It was quite sad to take them off and leave them behind us when we left! Thank you to all at Yarimikan for being so kind and making our stay with you so special.

A wonderful traditional Ryokan with fantastic onsen springs by a beautiful river valley. The food was delicious and the staff so helpful. We loved the walking in the area too. If you can get a room, make this part of your Japan trip, you won’t regret it!
