Best Yoshino District Hotels

"翌朝一番の電車で吉野駅まで行って吉野山の桜を見ようと素泊まりで止まりました。和室の部屋を予約しましたが、部屋の中は一通り必要な物は全部そろっていて、トイレとお風呂は共同ですが、新しい設備でとても綺麗でした。チェックアウトは早朝は鍵を置いて出ていけばよいとのことで朝6時には宿をたち、予定通り朝一番の電車で吉野まで行けました。まだ人の少ない吉野山を朝靄の中登り始められ、午前中には吉野山の桜を満喫できました。１つだけ、朝コーヒーを飲もうと部屋のポットで作りましたが、すでにぬるくなっていて、共有スペースにあるポットは電源が入っておらず水でした。しょうがないので、ぬるく作ったコーヒーを共有スペースにある電子レンジで温めて飲みました。共有スペースのポットでお湯が飲めたらよかったなあと思いました。"

"Traditional Japanese hot spring hotel, the female service attitude is very good, as a rest point on the small side road is very comfortable. The location is close to the station, but some distance from the departure point of the small side road. The meal is very serious, the waterwheel theme hot spring is also good, the price can be"

"Beautiful location along the Kumano Koda trail. Excellent food and beautiful onsen on site. It is isolated (which is part of the charm) so be prepared to walk to town or take the bus if you want go to a market or lunch spot."

"1. Japanese-style rooms are spacious and elegant. The mattress is thick enough so it doesn't feel like sleeping on the floor. The quilt is also very soft and comfortable. 2. There are mountains and rivers outside the window, and the scenery is pleasant. This river should be the Totsu River, but there are actually hot springs underneath. 3. Both dinner and breakfast were rich and delicious. The grandpa also explained each dish to us. 4. We went there at the end of December and it was very cold in the mountains. Although it looks like a Japanese-style window made of paper, the room is very warm. 5. There is an outdoor bath, so beautiful. You must take a bath outdoors~"

"I did a one night stay and 2 nights before I go, I called the owner to request him to add breakfast and dinner to my booking. He mentioned that he could fix something simple if I didn't mind as his wife would be busy. He offered to pick me up from Shimoichiguchi station when he knew I was going by train. After picking me up, he brought me to a famous temple on the way. It was not somewhere I could visit without driving so I was appreciative. He explained that the house was left behind by his mother and he decided to convert it to a guesthouse last year. There is a famous shrine with a Noh stage within 10 mins walk from the guesthouse and I went there twice as there was a procession at 8am the next morning. There is also Amano river where waters are clear and fishermen can be seen occasionally. Dinner will eventually still prepared by the owner's wife. Food was fresh and delicious. I had beef stew with whole grain rice and several side dishes from the town. As the nearby onsen was closed until June, I decided to visit Dorogawa onsen during checkout. The owner offered to drive me there at no charges. The guesthouse was tastefully converted from a 2 century old house with a nice fusion of new and old. Guests could use the living area with stove heating, bar counter, bathroom and toilets. There are only 2 bedrooms so chances are, you can get some peaceful relaxation. The owner speaks limited English but he uses an electronic pocket tool to help him communicate with overseas guest. His room rates are very very reasonable and he and his wife are both very kind and friendly. They really go all out to make your stay pleasant so give the guesthouse a try. The owner heard I wanted to see stars though I told him I did not expect to since the weather forecast was cloudy. He checked the skies at 9pm and told me that some stars could be seen and took me to a dark stargazing spot nearby. I was happy as I managed to take some decent photos."

"I have to say it is the best reservation along the Kohechi Route. Very friendly and helpful staffs, yummy foods, super clean and huge onsen with very good facilities provided and it’s only me. super over expected. fully recommand！better than any one in totsukawa onsen， its really a value for money choice."

"Breakfast and dinner are delicious and taste good. That is, the main dishes are mainly tofu, which is very healthy, and I am a bit unaccustomed to carnivores like me. The hotel is right next to the bus station, which is fairly convenient. You can hike to Dongchuan during the day"
