The staff were the best thing about this place. They showed the true hospitality of a Japanese Inn, on the downside the building showed the old Inn too - no insulation in rooms and I could smell smoke from previous guests (Im a non-smoker who HATES having to breath other's smoke in a hotel room) Also there is not an onsen - so there is no hot water flowing so in the morning the bath was cold - shower only real option. Also the location is a little out of the way for my preference

A lovely hostel. Beautiful rooms and in a nice peaceful area. Arrived late at night and this was no problem. Five minutes walk from the nearest rail station which was no issue at all. Incredibly comfortable beds and slept like a log. ON the last day, when we were leaving, they kindly gave us an umbrella even though they knew we werent coming back. PS. The gardens are amazing!

First time in Japan, let alone a ryokan. Was made to feel very comfortable, one of the owners took the time to take me through everything. Room was clean, baths were very clean. WiFi was a godsend!

This was an enjoyable traditional Japanese lodging. They offer full traditional breakfast and sleep on the floor with futon. The rooms are large. There are plenty of bathrooms for the number of visitors. The public bath is large and traditional and there is also a private bathroom for families or people who don't like to parade around naked. This is a nice place to spend a few days.

I loved that they did their best to recreate the ryokan experience, with a yukata (traditional Japanese robe) and slippers to wear throughout the premises. The bath house was really nice and relaxing. The place had a very peaceful feel to it. The staff was extremely nice and friendly. Homeikan has more than one property, and I accidentally showed up at the wrong location. No problem. One of the staff members ran out, grabbed his van, and drove me to my correct location, which was close by.

Excellent large room, delicious food (breakfast, but the dinners I never ordered smelled nice as I was returning each night), good large baths and shower area, nice outdoor garden for relaxing in. Only thing missing was an area to interact with other guests. Maybe the outdoor area in summer, but winter interaction was minimal. very highly recommended.

This is a traditional ryokan experience. It is more expansive than other places but definitely worth it. The staff speak english and are very helpful. The neighborhood is very quite too.
