The view of the valley is the best!

谷底の川側にある温泉は素晴らしく日本のオリジナル温泉を感じる事が出来ました。是非、景色の良い部屋をリクエストしてください。食事は秘境ですので、あまり期待しない方が良いと思います。The hot springs on the river side of the valley bottom were wonderful and I could feel the original Japanese hot springs. If you plan to stay, you should request a room with a view. Meals are O.K., but it's an unexplored region, so you shouldn't expect too much cooking level.

Nice Onsen Hotel

Reviewed By ivanlieckens

This was our second hotel in Japan and the first Ryokan type with Japanese style rooms, futons to sleep on and Yukata to wear around. Our room was very spatious and had a washing table and private toilet. This was out of our stay the largest room we’d had the pleasure of occupying for 2 nights. The hotel has a shuttle service to pick you up from the nearby trainstation but be prepared to ask in Japanese. Transfer takes about 15mins by car or you could walk 1,5h. This area is bus or car and when using the bus be very careful as there are only about 6-8 busses a day depending on where you’re going. We had to fall back to using a taxi because of missing the bus once. Make sure to enjoy the hotel’s onsen with a magnificent view and “outdoor” bathing! The breakfast buffet is Japanese and extensive. Dinner is also available which we enjoyed twice as there is nothing else really in the area but don’t worry the hotel restaurant has excellent and very affordable dinner options.

Hotel Hikyonoyu

Explore hidden scenic sights like Iya’s kazura bridge (a primitive suspension bridge made of kudzu plants), one of Japan’s “three peculiar bridges,” and the heroic legend of the Heike (the Taira clan). Guests can also enjoy a hot spring spa (which is gently alkaline in composition) and simple culinary delights from nature. A pick-up service is available at JR Oboke Station. For guests who would like to use the service, please make a notification in advance.

Very Pleasant Stay

Reviewed By William S

The Hikyo-no-yu is a very pleasant and very Japanese hotel and Olsen. The hotel is spacious and has a wonderful view onto the mountains. It is a bit awkward moving from building to building as it is built on a mountainside but this is not a real inconvenience. The staff is large and well-trained and there is enough English to provide assistance. The meals are well-organized and you can make requests (with sufficient notice before the meal) if you need accommodation regarding food allergies. We were in the western annex but with futons and it was quite comfortable. The wireless doesn’t make its way to the annex, by the way. The rooms are large with great views. If you just accept that you are in Japan and not in Europe you will be happy - the staff here are very welcoming and accommodating.

wonderful service

Reviewed By fphew

Hotel is just 5mins drive from Oboke station, we requested for shuttle pick up from the hotel prior to our arrival. Very large spread for the breakfast, they even provide english description and explanation of what every dish is, very meticulous. Hotel is just opposite the pleasure boat cruise and they offered a discount coupon to us when we checked in. This area is generally very quiet with not much touristy stuff around, on our first night we had to walk 30 mins to get to a local supermarket to get some food because we did not reserve the hotel's dinner. On our second night, we asked the counter if there was any convenience store nearby like 7-11 or lawsons to get our dinner, and they immediately arranged for their shuttle van to send us there and back. Very good service. So if you are planning to stay here for many nights, either you book the hotel's dinner in advance or pack your own cup noodles from other cities. The restaurant opposite the hotel closes early at 5pm. After 5pm ,the streets are pretty much empty and dark. Note that there is a onsen charge of 150 yen per person per night. We weren't aware of this when we booked the hotel through 2nd party sites and wasn't told by the staff when we checked in either. Even if you do not use the onsen, you still have to pay for the 150 yen. Thankfully it is not a big amount but I just wished the staff told us on the day we checked in so that we could have make full use of the onsen..

対応が酷過ぎる

Reviewed By niku1129

予約の段階から受付の女性が高圧的で、非常に対応が悪い。宿泊をやめようかと思ったが、周辺に適当な宿泊施設が見つからずしょうがなく予約をしたが、サービス業うんぬん以前に社会人として信じられないような対応。 宿泊当日もつっけんどんな対応で、非常に気分が悪い。部屋自体は新しく広い部屋で問題ないが、全て帳消しにしてしまうような対応である。 二度と泊まりたくない。

Hotel Kazurabashi

Beautiful onsen

Reviewed By BelindaL_17

We chose this hotel for our visit to Oboke because of the outdoor onsen, and it did not disappoint! You can take a bus from the Oboke station, however the frequency is not high, hence we took a taxi which cost slightly less than 3000 yen. You can walk to the Kazurabashi bridge from the hotel (approximately 15mins), but there wasn't a proper walkway for pedestrian. However there wasn't much traffic so it didn't feel dangerous walking along the main road. The hotel provides a night tour (8pm every night) to the bridge and the Biwa falls, and the friendly driver helped to take pics, and stopped at a spot for star gazing! Dinner and breakfast were included in the stay. During dinner, the Okami sang us a beautiful traditional song, and chat with us to ensure we enjoy ourselves. The food was well prepared and was made from regional produce. The onsen was the highlight. You can a take a cable car up to the outdoor onsen (there's stairs if you want to), which has the most beautiful mountain view. There's a lodge for hot tea after the bath, and a footbath where you can sit and enjoy the view. If you are visiting during winter like we did, I would suggest washing yourself in the indoor bath, have a quick soak to warm yourself up, throw on your yukata, then head up quickly to the outdoor onsen. On our first soak, we made the mistake of showering outdoor and it was freezing, although we did warmed up in no time after going into the onsen. There's only 2 showers in the outdoor onsen, so if you might have to wait for your turn if there's a crowd. We enjoyed the stay and the onsen, and would highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a great onsen experience.

かずら橋に近いのが利点

Reviewed By maxmaxtom

お風呂は温泉ではありません。料理も夕食には汁物がなく、暖かいのはご飯だけで、野菜中心の文字通りの粗食で期待してはいけません。掃除はされていますが、建物は古くトイレも共同で、旅館と名前が付いていますが、民宿のレベルです。車は3台ほど駐車できます。 しかし、①かずら橋に歩いて5分位の近さにあること、②宿泊費が安いこと、③女主人が話好きで英語が話せることで、トリップアドバイザーの評価が、悪くはないのだと思います。

Momonga Village

It is a guesthouse in the middle in Shikoku. It is access convenience also to every direction. You can use with the low charge from an overnight stay of 2500 yen. The Internet can be used for free. If convenience suits, it can welcome and send off to a station. Rafting in the Yoshino river can also be performed. It corresponds kindly carefully. We are waiting for you to come.

Nice Place

Reviewed By geelongexpat

I stayed in the dorm here for three nights. The location in the middle of the Iya Valley is peaceful. It is a great chance to escape. However there are no lockers in the dorm room. The common area is also small so it can get noisy early in the morning and late at night. The house is Japanese style so it is quaint but if you are over 170 cm expect to hit your head daily.

剣山登山の前日に宿泊。夏の一番の観光シーズンだがリーズナブルに泊まれる。夕ご飯は鍋を中心としたボリュームたっぷり。宿に辿り着くまでの道はくねくねして細い道。向かいにちょっとした商店がある。
