Hotels with Parking in Nakanojo

Very nice traditional Japanese experience

The room with the private bath looking at the river was amazing. We had an exceptional Japanese style accommodation. Breakfast and dinner were satisfying and delicious. The staff was very friendly. We had a great time at this onsen hotel.

My 3D2N stay at Kashiwaya Ryokan was simply magical. The service staff were very kind and they would do their best to answer your requirements. There are 3 unique and clean private onsens to choose from which guests can visit as long as nobody is inside. The breakfasts and dinners were way beyond our expectations not just on the taste, but also the presentation which shows the genuine efforts of the kitchen staff. There is definitely no need to worry about being hungry as the meals filled us to the brim. The location is at one end of Shima Onsen town but there are bicycles which can be borrowed from the ryokan to cycle to the central area, as well as all the way to Lake Okushima if you are feeling adventurous. I hope the ryokan continues to maintain this standard as I would highly recommend people to stay there.

100 years old part of hotel is very characterful. The additions have made it quite a maze and it was fun finding the different 5 hot baths The outside rock garden hot spring nestled in the forest was the highlight and very enjoyable listening to the birds and watching the red leaves fall in the light breeze. I went to these baths in the evening and morning they were so relaxing. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We stayed in the Bamboo/Take room which looked recently renovated and married modernity with traditional ryokan interior well (the hair dryer was Dyson!). We enjoyed our stay in the Take room greatly (great use of space) and the breakfast provided was superb. We have tried other ryokan food before but most of the time the food wasn’t quite suitable for our non-Japanese palette so this was a pleasant surprise. The ryokan itself is traditional with a nice public open air bath. Finally, the staff were really nice and the hospitality was superb.

Where do I even start — this was our favourite stay in Japan! We originally booked for two nights but ended up extending our stay after a typhoon warning was issued for our next destination. The staff were incredibly accommodating, helping us weigh our options and moving us into another available room for the extra nights, ensuring that breakfast and dinner were included. Our host, Hinata, was absolutely wonderful. She spoke clear English and went over every detail of our stay — from cleaning times to meal preferences — with such care and professionalism. She was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely made us feel at home. The rooms are incredibly spacious, with soft, cosy beds, including a TV with Netflix and Disney! Making it easy to spend the day inside doing nothing! The food was exceptional — comparable to a fine Australian degustation that would easily cost hundreds back home. One night, we were even treated to dinner at their sister restaurant down the road, where we enjoyed delicious Wagyu steak, complete with pick-up and drop-off service. There were also snacks and alcoholic drinks available for purchase, plus a daily happy hour from 2–5pm. The private onsens, both in-room and in the public facility, were perfect for unwinding — with free Yakult on hand as a thoughtful touch. They also offered complimentary pick-up and drop-off at the local bus stop for both arrival and departure, which made everything so seamless. It was the perfect escape from the bustle of Tokyo — relaxing, memorable, and truly special. I can’t wait to return!

Favourite hostel I've stayed in a month of travelling japan. Absolutely beautiful location, near the dam so I was able to catch the sunrise easily and some cool night shots (check out the stars at night). Not far from the main street and some good onsens e.g. Sekizenkan Kashoutei which inspired Spirited Away, about 20-30mins walk to nearest ATM at a post office though so make sure you have enough cash. Quiet when I was there, only one other person in my dorm. I liked that in the 'dorm' you basically got a mini room instead of a capsule, seperated by a curtain and wall with no ceiling. Plenty of space. But the privacy was nice, bed was comfy, lockers provided. Kitchen was good and there were vending machines on site, could also buy snacks and souvenirs from reception which helped as nearby shops and restaurants have changeable hours. Staff were super friendly with pretty good English although sometimes hard to find. Onsen was beautiful and often had it all to myself, outdoors onsen under maple leaves was super nice. Could hire private sauna at the top too which was cool, has a cold bath as well and toilet/shower. Wish I could have stayed longer!

Nice open onsen baths, awesome river, beautiful nature, good rooms.

The staff hardly speaks English, despite the language barrier they were very nice and definitely helped us a lot with any request. The hotel is not suitable for those who have difficulty with stairs, there is no elevator and we had to change rooms to a more expensive room so that we would have fewer stairs, apart from this problem the rooms are lovely the view is wonderful and the food is great, everything is very clean and very pleasant
