The host was amazing. Friendly, generous and genuinely happy to have us stay.
The location of the small village of only Japanese people was amazing.
Google Translate, a smile and patience was required to communicate with the locals who were all very welcoming. It was very authentic ryokan.
My friend and I stayed for 1 night at Kominka Mitsuhama Ryokan in early November. We were very surprised by how much thought and effort was put into decorating this 100 year old house. It was truly an unforgettable experience staying there.
Our host was like a cherry on top of the whole experience. Even though we could only communicate in broken Japanese, he prepared English instructions for us so communication was not a problem. When we checked out, he even gave us a handwritten note and two souvenirs. We really appreciated his hospitality!
The host, Katsuhiro-san, is very kind and friendly! He went above and beyond to help us during our stay and had lots of great local recommendations. Thank you so much!!
