This ryokan is truly amazing. The location is beautiful, rooms are spectacular, but the staff truly make it a memorable stay. Nothing is too hard - we got lost on our way driving there so they called a taxi to come and meet us to take us there. Kuni San was wonderful and everyone made a huge effort. Plus they... More

This resort is really nice. Everything is organized perfectly. We had a spa session and it was really good and we enjoyed every second of it. It was snowing lightly during our stay and the surrounding was so beautiful. Kuni-San who can speak English was taking care of us really well. He made sure everything is perfectly arranged and we...

A modern but yet traditional 'Onsen' villa. A 3-Michelin star equivalent in the natural hot spring resort industry. Enjoy the tranquillity of the area, the Japanese' hospitality and their attention to detail of everything. But be minded there's no chunky burger and chips, only traditional Japanese breakfast and Kaiseki dinner is served in the resort. Even if you're not too... More

This place is stunningly beautiful! It was better than I expected. A traditional ryokan, it is the total experience. Forget about all the 5 star international chains. From the time you enter this gorgeous Japanese ryokan, you are met with over whelming hospitality. This property has 11 villas and 7 of them have their own indoor and outdoor hotsprings. After...

Takefue onsen ryokan is truly a magical place. It's a natural hot springs resort in the middle of a bambo grove. Far from everything and very peaceful. If you do find the strength to venture outside the property, there are some beautiful country walks to take. We were a group of 4 people and shared a villa together -- the... More

I had best in the best vacation at Takefue...again. I travel around the world but this place is my favorite place in the whole world!! Room, bath, food and spa... And gorgeous colored leaves cannot explain by words. I stayed two night at Sayo and I really had great time. Hotel staff cannot speak fluent English but they communicate with... More

Takefue is simply amazing and breathtaking. A cozy place with bamboo surrounding the ryokan. Probably the best stay ever. If budget is not an issue and you visit Kurokawan Onsen, this is a top choice. We stayed 2 nights: one in the Sayo suite and the other Takekiri suite. Sayo suite is simply astonishing, with an indoor and an outdoor... More

My experience at Takefue was outstanding. We stayed three night there and that was heavenly comfortable. Located just pass the Shirakawa Onsen town but once we step in the property, we were surrounded by bamboo. In keeping with Japanese tradition of gracious hospitality and timeless elegance plus substantial guest amenities. We chose traditional Japanese Tatami style bed type but western... More

We stayed here for 2 night, experiencing 2 of their room. We arrived when it was raining, and the hotel had a taxi wait for us in the station. The bamboo grove in the rain is amazing. Generally everything in this place is amazing... seriously attentive to the small details, exceptional service, great food (they accommodate vegetarians). and their Rotemburos... More
