Hohoemino Kuyufu Tsuruya 4 stars

Tendo Onsen, Tendo

The ryokan offers soothing natural hot spring bath in natural stone tubs and an open-air hot springs bath. A shared lounge features a tatami (woven-straw) floor and view of a Japanese garden. The ryokan also offers free use of bicycles. Certainly top 3 (if not best) onsen ryokan that I've ever stayed in Japan! Maybe also due to low season, very few customers and we were able to fully enjoyed onsen, resting areas etc. All facilities are new and perfect, staff extremely polite and helpful. Most certainly I'd return for a next time!

Takamiya Ryokan Miyamaso 4 stars

The wooden structure of the property portrays a traditional Japanese-style accommodation. Free Wi-Fi is available at the lobby. Very nice, traditional experience! We were very surprised with the diversity of the breakfast. If you want to experience a proper Japanese breakfast, here is one place where you can do that very well. The onsen was very pleasant too, but you might need to get accustomed to the temperature. All in all we had a very pleasant stay here and we can definitely recommend! Thanks a lot :)
