Miyoshi Hotels with Free Breakfast

Excellenf facilities, from the big western japanese room to the onsen near the river. The room was very comfortable and quiet, its windows opened to a beautiful view of the rivers and the orange bridge. Check-in was a little slow and the breakfast consisted of many small dishes none of which we liked very much (it looked good though). Overall a very comfortable base to ecplore Iya if you have your own car/ motorcycle.

Overall, because the person in charge is absent, only half-way correspondence can be done in any correspondence. The front desk of check-in is absent and calls by bell. I booked an annex, but I took over the elevator ２ times and arrived in the room. On the way, the corridor is abnormally moldy. Decent cleaning and maintenance are not possible. The room seemed to be clean at first glance, but the tile carpet on the floor of the room was moldy. There is no air cleaner. The annex is a poor content that the wifi is not connected. I went to the public bath, but it was a feeling that the guests were able to use the hot water facilities of the foreign guests, and it was not a public bath in the hotel. Cosmetics were closed in the room and in the public bath. There is no place to relax after bathing. You can imagine public bath. The automatic entrance door to the public bath is broken, but it seems that it is not willing to repair. Only the quality of the spring is great, so it is really a pity. Dinner is also a party dish like amateur dish. Ayu sashimi is only ２ cut. Only white rice was delicious in a way to cook with individual Kama. Breakfast is also poor content, which doesn't seem to be a hotel. There is no person in charge of the waiter here, and only the trainee who cannot even replenish even if the cup is lost is placed. Even when checking out, the front desk is absent. You have to call it by bell. About, there is no hospitality spirit, cleaning and maintenance. It is better to specialize in day bathing.

I was worried about getting around the Iya Valley in December without a car, but everything was so easy when I stayed here. I took a bus in from Ōboke Station directly to the ryokan. It was a five minute walk to the main vine bridge. And I was able to take buses to the scarecrow village and to the Iya Onsen (for a bit of pampering). The location was fabulous, but the stay was nice too. The room was big, with traditional tatami mats, a futon, and even a yukata. The communal bath was big and nice. And the host was very friendly. I'd definitely stay again! ありがとうございます😊

We stayed for 1 night with 2 adults. We will describe 4 points on the stay and 2 points on the point that we were worried about. ■ Good point (1) The dinner was delicious We stayed in a quiet period. I tried to make a plan of less than 20,000 yen per person via OTA. There were a menu like cherry blossoms, amego, cherry blossoms, awao chicken, pig and Tokushima. I think the volume was quite good. The people at the next table were not eaten out. The only subtle thing was about tempura. The tempura was the impression that it was over time after fried. (2) There was a smoking room For smokers, smoking rooms were essential. It is a hotel that loves smokers also value. You can stay with peace of mind. There is also a smoking room on the floor where the front desk is located.(3) There was a loan of cables The charging cable for the smartphone was broken during the trip. When I consulted at the front desk, I asked for a charging cable. I was asking for an extension code rental in advance, but I was prepared in the room properly without forgetting. I was impressed that the work was a neat hotel. (4) The GoTo in Miyoshi City The GoTo campaign was only in Miyoshi city. I couldn't pay for the accommodation fee, but I was able to get a coupon ticket of 4000 yen (4 1000 yen tickets) for two people at check-in. The sightseeing such as the big walk was finished, so the next morning, I was charged for gasoline at the gas station in the city. The gasoline was about 3500 yen. I think the time when the GoTo campaign in Miyoshi city is being carried out is a chance to stay. It is the same calculation as the 2000 yen draw per person. There is no change. ■ I was worried (1) There was a distance to the bath and dinner venue The room has a self-cruel guide display, but there is a distance from the room to the bath and dinner venue. Our rooms were on the 5th floor of the building with the front desk. Once you get off the elevator to the floor where the front desk is, you need to move the floor and move it by the elevator of the next building. If you are inconvenient in your foot and waist, I think it would be better to choose a room in the building with a bath and dinner venue in advance. The breakfast venue is in front of the front desk. It is a Viking form. (2) The foot wipe mat in the bath was painful The entrance to the bath has a green foot wipe mat. It was a hard lawn material, so it was painful in barefoot. The dryer, cotton swab, tissues were properly equipped with the washbasin. The bath was open-air bath and sauna. The sauna is hot enough to burn the butt if you don't put a mat. Overall, it was a very satisfying hotel. Especially dinner is a good impression. The rooms were also cleaned properly and there was a feeling of cleanliness. The toilet is also with a washlet. It is one of the hotels that I want to repeat.

We stayed for 2 nights at Hotel Iyaonsen, and were impressed by the level of service, the food offerings, the condition of the room and especially the Onsen (natural hot springs) quality down in the valley (more on that in a moment.) We were already expecting it to be remotely situated with incredible valley/mountain views, and on that (and all other) fronts, our hopes and expectations were more than met. As other reviewers have already noted, the drive to Hotel Iyaonsen - while not exactly a harrowing experience - is one that requires alertness... the road is barely wide enough for one vehicle, and if you spot a car approaching from the opposite direction, one of the drivers will have to back up to an area where there's sufficient width in the road for both cars to slide past one another. It's also very twisty - so much so, that it's really not practical to be barreling down the mountain pass in any case. Thankfully, there are mirrors placed at the corners of each sharp turn so that drivers are able to see oncoming traffic ahead of time. In my mind, this added to the charm of being somewhere so remote, even if it's a bit of a hassle to get there. We stayed in a room called ”Tamayura” (Room #505, to be exact), which is the top room at the property. It's a corner room located on the top floor, and has an open-air outdoor Onsen bath to boot. Measuring 47m², it pales in comparison to highest category rooms at other ryokans we've stayed at, but the layout made it feel more spacious than its measurements would suggest. Tamayura had a living room, a smaller area where you can enjoy the Valley view, and a separate sleeping area.... none of them were segregated by walls, which added to the airy feel but might bother some guests accustomed to having distinctly separate living/sleeping areas. While it's Japanese in design and decor, it was more modern than traditional. The room had an earthly tone and allowed an abundance of natural light to enter, making it seem fresh and new. The Onsen and shower were located on the deck, and exposed to the elements. Now, I am used to having an open-air Onsen bath (in fact, in most cases I prefer it), but also having to shower outside (before getting into the Onsen) could be painful if it was in the dead of winter. The other drawback has to do with the in-room Onsen itself - it's not of the free-flowing variety; you have to fill it up from scratch each time you bathe. While it probably takes no more than 20 minutes for the bath to fill up, you might spend a bit more time regulating the temperature (by turning either the cold or hot water tap) until it's just right for you. Thankfully, this is made up by the awesome Onsen down in the valley. There is a cable car that shuttles (paying) guests to and from the bottom of the Valley, where there are separate men/women communal Onsen baths. There are also baths that you can rent privately (at extra cost.) All of them were amazing - the hot springs were soft, supple, slippery

The room was large and well appointed. You sleep on futons on the floor. There is also a bath and a toilet, which is unusual for onsen. There is an internal onsen bath on the 3rd floor but what makes this place unusual is that there is an outdoor bath up the hill where you take a mini funicular to reach the location. We had a Kaiseke dinner in the hotel where they feature local ingredients like tofu, potato and fish. To be honest, some of the dishes are an acquired taste but they were exquisitely presented and dinner staff were good. The wagyu beef was especially tasty. Staff are friendly and most can converse in English, which is a plus. The young female owner also has a good voice and sang a lovely song during dinner. The organized a short 20 minute tour after dinner to the vine bridge nearby though it was too dark to see much and the bridge was closed. But it was interesting riding the old school bus. Wifi is unfortunately weak and the Ipad was not able to log in at all. Wifi did not work for my Iphone in the dining room and only worked in the lobby and the bedroom. There is a souvenir store in the lobby area where you can buy local produce like snacks, apparel and ice cream.

A small and ingenious accommodation business travel, the service staff is very kind, breakfast is agreed in advance, one person, and hot food is provided according to the time, the equipment in the room seems to be fully updated and spacious, excellent value for money.

It is an inn that cannot be booked easily, but it was empty by chance, so I booked and stayed for one night. It is an inn with soba shop in the secret of nothing. The staff are very friendly and hospitality is high in a calm atmosphere inn. The room was very large because I chose two cherry blossom baths and pottery baths in the room, and I enjoyed two baths while looking at the magnificent view from the bath. What should be more characteristic is cooking. The meal is a meal in the dining room, but all of them are partitioned in a private room, and there is a Irori in each private room, and you can behave local dishes. The staff at the meal were also local, and I was very satisfied with the history and meals of the soya, and I was very satisfied with the fun and fun. It was the best luxury two days. It is a hot spring inn that I want to visit again.

It's a bit old.

Having stayed in several good hotels and a family homestay so far on our tour of Japan, my family and I did not have huge expectations for our stay at Kazuraya. We knew it was a small, family run inn situated in a rural part of Japan's Iya Valley. However, we were very pleasantly surprised by our experience. Kazuraya is situated in a stunning spot in the Iya Valley with fantastic views of the mountains and a very short walk from some fabulous waterfalls and a vine bridge, not to mention a beautiful gorge with crystal clear water running through it. The accommodation (we had two twin rooms) was spotlessly clean with a typical Japan style little table and chairs, kettle, etc. It was also en-suite which was a bonus for this style of accommodation, with what seemed like a very new shower/bath and toilet. The air conditioning worked well. We were warmly welcomed and given a choice of three times for our evening meal which was a set menu. We were also given a choice of three breakfast times. The evening meal was in a dining room with western style chairs and consisted of many different dishes - they just kept coming!! We were certainly very full by the end of the meal and were served by very obliging staff. You also had the choice of several alcoholic drinks you could purchase if required. We were told that due to the good weather conditions there was a high chance of the fireflies being around a pond that evening a short walk down the road - we went and were treated to a wonderful display of nature. We then had a go on the free massage chairs in the hallway. Not for the faint hearted! Our mattresses were put out for us whilst we were at dinner and were perfectly adequate. After a peaceful nights sleep we had breakfast, again consisting of many courses. On our second night's stay we had a different set menu which was equally delicious. We spent our morning white water rafting locally (half an hour drive away) before visiting a 'spooky' village full of scarecrows and some vine bridges. For a small Japanese inn, we found Kazuraya to be marvellous and whilst obviously not a luxury hotel, we would strongly recommend it.
