Kirinosato Takahara Hotel - Tanabe

Absolutely loved the homemade plum wine and the stunning views! The room was spotless, but the onsen felt a bit too small during peak times. I'd definitely come back!

Everything was great, welcoming staff, incredible views of the mountains. Everywhere was fairly clean, room with central heating, multi-channel TV, and a fridge was really huge and spacious. The location was marvellous and stunning, at a moderate distance from Kumanojinja. The restaurant was small, it had extraordinary meals. Greatly enjoyed this fantastic stay of my holiday.

Stylish and huge hotel units with the last western style bed for a while. A wide range of exceptional food for meals. Stunning and amazing location, to the nearest bus stop. Based right by the mountain.

Chatty staff!

- Fine valley views, delicious home-cooked meals, warm, inviting atmosphere

- Small onsen area

The place is stylish and beautiful and has amazing location to the nearest bus stop. The units were good sized and well-appointed with amazing view.

The unit we got was nice styled and huge with a great view of the mountains, spectacular views, for instance...

Everything was just right!

The culinary experience was really good, highlighting local ingredients.

I found the onsen area quite cramped, particularly during peak hours, which detracted from the relaxation I sought. The hiking distance to reach the hotel was more strenuous than anticipated. Providing clearer instructions on how to get there would have made our arrival smoother.

Every detail was wonderful, from the fine views of the valley to the delectable dinner with local ingredients like wild asparagus and elegantly cooked fish. The onsen was also a heavenly retreat.

I wish the lunch packed for us had more variety.

Dinner featured locally foraged delights that wowed our taste buds. Plus, the staff serenaded us to celebrate a birthday with homemade tart and guitar tunes that filled the cozy dining room. Amazing views from the twin room added to the charm!

More guidance on getting there would have been a cherry on top!

Couples Retreat Filled with Surprises

As soon as we arrived, Jian welcomed us with an ice-cold beer and a warm smile. We were really impressed by how generous he was, offered to give us rides, and even played guitar for everyone after dinner!

It wasn't cheap, but the experience was worth every dime we spent.

Fine views and really good dining experience

The views from our room were amazing, overlooking the misty valley and rolling mountains. Dinner was a highlight, with locally sourced ingredients that were both delicious and beautifully presented. The cozy atmosphere. We felt that the onsen area could be improved in size for more comfort.

Fine views of the valley captivated me . The onsen area felt a bit small at peak times.

What an enchanting stay! The views of the mountains and valleys were amazing. I dined on delicious, locally sourced meals and even enjoyed a lovely onsen. Watching the sunset from my room's patio was lovely. I'll definitely be back 🌄

Very nice homemade plum wine and magnificent valley views.

Perhaps the lack of variety in the dining options could be improved!!! The onsen was somewhat small, so it might get crowded during peak hours!!! A bit more attention to room maintenance would go a long way!!!
