Independent Kamikochi hotels

"The hotel itself if fine but showing some wear. In a good location near the castle. We paid for an upgraded ‘suite’. The room was large. But the carpeting was badly worn and in need of replacement. Going into the bathroom the edge was frayed with backing showing. And it had an off odor that seemed to air out once the windows were open. Onto the furnishings. A chair had a large rip in the arm. The ottoman was badly stained. And the couch looked tired and old. Additionally the curtains were ripped in a couple of places. All in all disappointing. I rarely write critical reviews but in this case it was justified."

"Excellent hotel in a very good location. The room was large, beautiful and well equipped. Great amenities and breakfast, friendly staff. "

"We had a wonderful stay at Ryokan Sansui. The hospitality was truly exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming throughout our visit. We especially loved the traditional atmosphere of the ryokan, which made the experience feel very authentic and relaxing. The onsen was a highlight of our stay—peaceful, clean, and a perfect way to unwind after a day of travel. Everything felt thoughtfully maintained, and the overall ambiance was calm and serene. This was a memorable experience, and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy a traditional Japanese stay. Thank you to the team for making our visit so special—we would love to return again"
