“Futon is good”

“We booked half-board and the food (both for breakfast and dinner) was amazing. We loved sleeping on the tatame floors on footons as a family, that was certainly a different experience and fun for the kids. Cannot comment much on the onsen as we used the small one for families. Beautiful surroundings and at a stone's throws from temples and shrines.”

“We chose Tokanso to experience a ryokan during our trip to Japan and were pleased that we did. We learned quite a bit about Japanese ryokan culture and the staff at Reception and in the dining room were very accommodating and helpful. The food was interesting, quite different to anything we had had previously, and a great experience. The area around Tokanso is well worth visiting, with historic shrines and temples.”

“Lovely, helpful staff and excellent location, quiet, everything we needed (including electric blanket under futons) and very close to temples. Kindly prepared a vegetarian Japanese breakfast when I asked. Stayed in a Japanese-style room with shared bathroom. The rooms do have their own private toilet which we were not expecting from the description which was good. Really enjoyed our stay.”

“We were looking for some traditional experience (onsen) and we wanted to find a place close to Toshogu and other chrines. And this place was perfect to our needs. The onsen itself is not very big, but extremely neat. And since it was a low season, there were not many people anyway. We enjoyed onsen, traditional rooms and increadible dinner and breakfast (it was delicious and very interesting, a whole new experience). And the stuff great! Very nice and always ready to help!”
