  Muy buena experiencia en un ryokan

  El servicio es uno de los mejores que he recibido, practicamente te hacen sentir como un rey. La comida es abundante, deliciosa e incluso, antes de llegar preguntan si hay alguna comida que te desagrade, todo estilo muy japones. Los cuartos son bastante pintorescos, casi como de pelicula o caricatur. El pueblo (Shuzenji) es uno de los lugares mas bonitos que he visitado. Anque es caro, vale la pena cada centavo

  Fantastic & Authentic Onsen/Ryokan Experience

  Yagyu-no-sho is a beautiful and genteel ryokan offering a quiet, peaceful onsen experience with traditional kaiseki cuisine. My husband and three children and I just finished a one night stay here. It was the perfect break after a week + of travel in Japan, including fighting hordes of tourists in Kyoto. Our suite was huge, clean and beautifully appointed a in traditionally Japanese way (ie, sparingly). Our private bath tub was fantastic. We loved sitting on our porch, listening to the koi and water in the pond. The communal baths were also beautiful and the waters restorative. The futons were super comfortable. Many westerners dont love traditional Japanese pillows (they are much firmer and not down) but my family thought they were fantastic. The food: our kids range in age from 20 to 13 and in palette from will try almost anything to eats almost nothing. Because the ingredients were high quality and the preparations expert, we all found plenty to enjoy at each meal. All of the above said, kaiseki is not everyones cup of tea (even for Japanese people), so if you go in expecting typical Japanese food, you may be disappointed -not because the food isnt stellar (it is) - but because its neither all sushi nor Japanese homestyle cooking. Similarly, the ryokan overall is quietly luxurious. The pace is meant to be slow, there isnt a gym or other extraneous things you find at larger (western) luxury hotel chains. The service was much more personal and attentive than anything we have received at 5 star hotels/resorts elsewhere but that, too, is distinctly Japanese. To truly enjoy Yagyu-no-sho, you really have to go in with an open mind because it is just a different type of luxury experience - in a good way, in my opinion. Having lived and traveled in Japan for many years, including years with a family who owned a fugu and Japanese cuisine restaurant, I can say this was a great experience all around. If you are willing to discard expectations of what a hotel - even a ryokan - experience will be like, you will be rewarded with a relaxing, restful and peaceful stay with delicious food and so much personal attention to boot.

  Best Experience in Japan

  After 10 days of exploration in Tokyo, Kyoto and saka often walking 7 miles plus this was a godsend. Some choose to relax upon arriving; we chose to relax upon departing. While Izu might be a bit farther out of the way than Hakone; it was my intent to venture farther. It was a good decision. Our attendant was outstanding; while apologizing for her limited English she conveyed perfectly her hospitality and offered kind direction at every step. She helped me understand roles and rituals when I felt lost as well as direct us in the understanding of everything that was served. The meals were beyond expectations as was the hospitality. As I reflect on my time in Japan once home in the US it is this experience that I will remember always as the most authentic cultural experience. It is well worth venturing out to find it. I was happy to share this experience with my son whose dream was to visit Japan.

  Very dated.. and dark

  One of the best onsen experience from my childhood was a stay at Yagyu-no-sho. I just remember the wonderful food and the amazing atmosphere - I must have been 10 or 11. I also stayed here about 15 years ago with a memory of great food and service, so I thought I'd give it a go again although Asaba is my favorite these days. The food was still really really good, and the service was good. However.. the room we stayed (hanare - the private quarter on the far end of the ryokan) was really dated and to be honest a little creepy.. None of us wanted to step into the smallest room in that suite (it just gave us a chill.. couldn't go inside) and the private onsen.. beautiful bath.. but the sink and the shower space was just plain dated (felt like I was in the 80s). Maybe the other rooms would have been fine - but the suite was definitely not somewhere I'd want to go back. The whole ryokan is really dark. Unfortunate since I was really looking forward to this stay.

  Experiencia japonesa total e inmersiva

  Hemos estado dos veces en este hotel, con 10 años de diferencia. La segunda íbamos con algo de miedo por las altas expectativas que traíamos de la primera, pero han cumplido con creces. En este hotel Ryokan (tradicional japonés), nada más entrar te dan unas zapatillas (no es extraño en Japón), y un kimono para moverte por el hotel. Las habitaciones son totalmente japonesas (futón para dormir, puertas de madera ,...) El personal no habla "demasiado" inglés (la mayoría no lo habla en absoluto) pero es que este no es un un destino de turismo internacional, sino más bien local y con magníficos Onzen! (Spa's). Recomiendo las habitaciones con Onzen privado. :-) Las cenas son magníficas. Total experiencia Kaiseki: cena tradicional japonesa, con múltiples platos locales y tradicionales servidos en la propia habitación, sentados en una mesa baja. Cerca del hotel (a pie), el templo de Shuzen-ji y un bosquezillo de bambú magnífico para visitar de noche (en el propio hotel te prestan linternas para hacerlo) Lo recomiendo para una escapada tranquila y para disfrutar de una experiencia local japonesa, difícil de conseguir en las grandes ciudades.
