Wonderful.

Could not fault the service; staff were all lovely. Meals were exceptional! We stayed two nights - multi- course extravaganza night one and shabu-shabu night two. Japanese breakfasts were outstanding. The room we stayed in was huge and looked over the adjacent river and forest. Our stay was magical!

Wanosato was exactly what I hoped for in a ryokan. The buildings are beautiful, and the riverside setting in the forest was a dream. It felt hugely private and was so relaxing. Staff were lovely and the level of service was fantastic. The kaiseki dinner blew us away - the food was all delicious and the level of care in making it was amazing. I could not recommend this place enough, and am only sad that I could not stay longer!

We absolutely loved our stay. The staff was amazing! They greeted us with tea and a snack. We also got to enjoy complimentary sake in the main hall. My husband and I loved the onsen. They had separate ones for males and females and give you a designated time to have a private onsen time with your partner. The dinner and breakfast were amazing, they provide you with a traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast. We would highly recommend to anyone!

Unbelievable property. The views and sounds of the river in every room are intoxicating. It’s down a super quiet street so you won’t hear any traffic. The meals were outstanding. The onsens were both unique and beautiful. The fixtures are dated but it makes the esthetic that much more authentic. I can’t recommend enough as a launching point to explore Takayama. I hope to be back!

Stunning location and views from the shared spaces. Kaiseki style food had so much effort put in to it too, with some delicious dishes. Disappointing that my wife couldnt use the cave onsen because of all male bathing, which really was the highlight. Frustrating too that they didnt have any slots for private couple onsens on the second day.

Despite some flaws, we really enjoyed our stay at Wanosato. The meal service was the highlight of the trip - the chef was excellent as was the server (same every night). The room was a bit dated but the was overcome by the amazing setting right on the river and traditional rooms. The flaws were the shuttle bus was very rigid (except when they decided we had to wait for other passengers) and we had to take multiple taxis to the train station because it wasn’t running. They had no idea how we would do a hike in the area so we ended up on a road walk. They also have no lunch so we had to go to town for lunch which ended up being a 3 hour excursion because of the shuttle.

Une expérience traditionnelle géniale

Un lieu magique au bord de la rivière. Les chambres sont immenses et très belles. Le Onsen privatisable est génial. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse et d’une patience extrêmes, surtout que nous avons beaucoup changé nos plans sur les horaires d’arrivée et de départ et jamais ils ne se sont départis de leur sourire et de leur efficacité à trouver des solutions à tout. Le petit déjeuner typique japonais avec beaucoup de poissons est un peu « hard » pour un occidental, mais c’est un bon moyen de s’imprégner de cette culture fascinante et des traditions japonaises, tout comme la nuit sur des futons, confortables néanmoins. Merci pour cette expérience !
