This pension has a very welcoming atmosphere. We would recommend it to everyone. We enjoyed the ability to speak to other travelers from all over the world. It would be nice to have a small table and chair and small chest of draweres. This pension is very clean and the beds were comfortable. Because we have a car, we only got lost once finding this place, but found it quickly after that. While here, we went to the Herb Festival, then to Oshino Eight Springs (Oshino Hakkai), took the boat tour of this lake & watched fireworks at night. The next day we toured the bat cave & hiked in the forest. We also drove many back roads!

The staff was amazing. The woman in charge spoke wonderful english and helped us with everything. The rooms weren’t huge but they were big enough and overall it was a great place to stay. I wish we could have stayed there another night.

Stayed at B&B Pension Hakodate-mura, Hakodate in Hokkaido
A very tradional, spacious and comfortable Japanese style room with tatami matts and sliding doors. A good facility is a protected clothes drying area on the roof with hangers. The charming host has bikes available for very reasonable rates which are a very good option for visiting the temples and gardens of which some are a few kilometres apart.

Stayed at Ryokan Wakamiya , Kyoto City
Shinonome-So is located in the central area of Kinosaki Onsen, just seven minute’s walk from Kinosaki Onsen Station, making it convenient to visit the bathhouses and stroll along the willow-fringed Otani-gawa River.
Mika and her family was wonderful and made our Kinosaki visit a relaxing and enjoyable dream away from big city travels in Japan. We recommend Kojinmari for the Japanese ryokan experience and close proximity to the baths.

A great hostel with a really good location. The japanese breakfast is a must, it’s delicious!! The onsen upstairs is great, unfortunately we didn’t have a great view of Fuji but we really enjoyed the soak. The only downside is the traffic light playing music from 7am until 10pm.

We were made to feel very special night from collection at the station by the individual attention given to us. Helpful and welcoming. Everyone took time to answer our slightest question, even despite the difficulties of language differences. Our meal was exquisite; an enlightening experience. To improve, we could only suggest more written instructions in English might be helpful.(Labels to tell shampoo from conditioner, for example.)
