Great service

The staff were very nice and served you really well. The meals were nice but not something spectacular. The room we booked were also spacious. They also have shuttle bus to and from Kurayoshi Station which made access simple. Overall an enjoyable stay.

Pleasant ryokan stay

Reviewed By JallyInJapan

Our first time staying at a ryokan, and it was a pleasant stay here. We enjoyed the onsens, wearing yukata, kaiseki (ryokan multi-course dinner) and traditional Japanese breakfast, sleeping on futons, strolling around the hotspring town with its countryside charm... The very same content on Japanese tourism shows! Recommended especially for first timers who may be unsure on which ryokan to choose.

Ok

Reviewed By TPHK

Ryokan Ohashi is a traditional Japanese onsen hotel, quite commonplace in my opinion. We picked it because the alternatives looked even less promising. Very polite staff, normal room (a bit dated though), normal meals. The public onsen was good. About the dinner, I was quite surprised that they sent someone from the kitchen to grill the beef in the room. The beef was exceptional (everything else was average) but I didn’t appreciate the smoke and smell from grilling which lingered in my room. Also, our server (an older lady) was a bit too relaxed with us, even though she was very polite. During dinner, she gestured to us a few times to pass used dishes to her so she didn’t have to get up and walk to the other end of the table to collect them. It’s no big deal, guess the old lady was just too tired, but I didn’t think this would be acceptable to Japanese guests

Bokoro

Traditional onsen hotel at the lakeside with nice food and staffs

Reviewed By Lucainsomewhere

Bokoro Ryokan is a very nice onsen hotel in Kurayoshi. It has the only one outdoor onsen on the lake in Japan. Their onsen is very clean and nice, you can enjoy both outdoor and indoor while you stay, but the outdoor one has really nice view and peaceful feeling. Their roooms are all traditional Japanese tatami, but the bed and blanket they provide is very soft and really comfortable. The room is quite large, and have the necessities. Usually it included both dinner and breakfast, both of them are tasty and make you so full! The hotel staffs are very nice and experienced with good smile and warm welcome. The only thing of this hotel is the location, if you’re driving that’s not really matter, if you are taking public transport to the hotel, you can reserve the shuttle bus at certain times or public bus also access there if you cannot make the shuttle bus reservation. Bokoro is really a nice onsen hotel, highly recommend!!! Btw Conan manga has been drawn this at background, cool!

Poor service and the things you get does not worth the money you paid for. The nightmare started from getting to the hotel. They offered free shuttle bus service from Kurayoshi station, but have to reserve it before arrival. I sent out my request 3 days before through agency website but no reply until I arrived. I tried to call them 2 days before for literally hundred of times, but the line was either unreachable or no one picking up. Both the agency and my previous hotel tried to call them but came back with the same result. So I ended up spending another ¥470 on bus to the hotel. This huge hotel only has 1 receptionist knows how to speak English but not there all the time. Very unprofessional receptionists who do not even know how to process payment with MasterCard. Both the dinner and breakfast experience was awful, the quality of the dinner was bad, can’t believe I paid so much for this half-board stay. Not much food choices during the breakfast buffet, can’t imagine this kind of standard is from a onsen hotel. I was charged ¥150 extra for onsen tax which was not stated neither on my agency website nor check-in form. It’s not much but the feeling of unawareness is sucks.

글자수가 한글만 카운터해서 한글도 덧붙입니다. 이곳은 추천할 만한 곳입니다. 가격대비 굉장히 좋았습니다. 정원이 정말 어느곳에서나 보이는데 좋더라구요. 매니져 분들은 친절하시고 대체로 청결합니다. We stayed 2 nights in Meijiso. Meijiso has a beautiful Japanese garden, which you can see anywhere and anytime during your staying. Even at the bath in onsen, you can enjoy the view. Meijiso is located in Misasa onsen - the onsen village close to kurayoshi where is famous of shirakabe dozo gun. I can’t say the location is good for public transportation. We rented a car. For us, the locations is great to visit Tottori Sand Dune and Kurayoshi. I recommend you to have a breakfast or dinner at Meijiso. Without that, the experience in Ryokan is incomplete. If you have a chance to stay here, I also recommend the Kiraku, a small bistro next to Meijiso. All managers are great. Nothing to complain. Parking is free - not common in Japan. PS. I’m not sure the manager can see this or not, but I brought the room key by mistake. I’m sorry. I sent it to Mejiso via Japanese Post before arriving airport. You’ll get it tomorrow.

Relaxing, enjoyable onsen experience

Reviewed By Vicky L

We were a group of 5 and we had booked a room with a private onsen. The staff were very attentive. Before we even asked, they brought us a wheelchair given we had an elderly travelling with us. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The food was great. Portion is normal Japanese size but maybe a little too small for us (we just love eating too much...). The only thing I would say is the person serving us didn't seem to smile a lot like all the other onsen ryokan we had been to, just something I have noticed but not anything I was unhappy about.

I went there with my wife for a couple of days and absolutely loved it. The rooms are nice and clean and smell fantastic. The hotel staff are chirpy and talkative and make you feel comfortable from the moment you check in. We liked the place so much that we decided extend it for an extra night.

Koraku

Quiet onsen, spacious Japanese room, good food and value for money

Reviewed By Shinfua

I visited there in April and I booked one day in advance and still can reserve a nice non-smoking Japanese room of 10 tsubo (33 sm). Both dinners and breakfast were above average and the price for one person stay was below 10,000 yen (weekdays, not Saturday). The onsen was spacious and since the hotel was not packed, you can enjoy a very relaxing onsen with few people. The town is small but beautiful, a walking tour is highly recommended (less than 1 hour).

Great ryokan in Misasa

Reviewed By c n

I recently spent a night in Misasa, in order to hike up Mitokusan the next day. Staying at Kiya Ryokan was a terrific experience. The owner came to pick me up at Kurayoshi Station (after a call from the friendly and helpful tourist information office staff) and was very welcoming; he was also good about trying to converse with me in English, as I have limited Japanese. The staff was very friendly and the dinner and breakfast very good. They have different onsen ofuros to choose from, and the room I stayed in was spacious and comfortable. The owner also helped me get to Mitokusan from the ryokan (I went in early June, which is the off-season, so it wasn't too crowded), and then back to Kurayoshi when I was departing. I would definitely stay here again, allowing more days for experiencing Misasa--one night/day wasn't enough!
