Ryokans in Sakaimura

Wonderful traditional japanese inn with tatami rooms and large furo bath. Quiet neighbourhood. Serves japanese breakfasts & dinners also.

very clean and beautiful, dinner and breakfast were elaborate and tasty!

Amazing location, it is very close to a train station. There is a lovely view of the river and two bridges from the onsen and the lobby. Staff is very friendly, the local food in the banquet was delicious. The room was beautiful, quiet, clean and spacious. It far exceeded my expectations.

Room was perfect! It was spacious and convenient. Atmosphere is really special, plus if you travel with kids, the place has a special play area. Staff is very friendly

The couple working at the Onsen were wonderful and stayed open late as we were travelling from Kurobe. The onsen itself was clean and just what we needed. Thank you very much!

In this ever changing, chaotic and even crazy world, I admire a well-run family business (small or large) which passes on from generation to generation, like the Tanakaya (since 1911). My wife and I have one of the five larger rooms with superb views of the Japanese garden with architectural and water features (charming with the new snow cover). The included Kaiseki dinner (delicious, sumptuous, but not too elaborate or overly filling) and breakfast are served not in our room but in a separate and private dinner room, which we like. The clear-water onsen is not huge and indoor only, but has full glass panels facing a small bamboo grove in the garden. Old-fashioned warm and attentive service attitudes prevailed. A mature lady of the 4th generation greeted us when we arrived, another of the 5th generation briefed us, and a third lady was assigned to take us to our room, serve us dinner and breakfast and prepare our beddings. All three of them waited for us when we checked out, and followed our small shuttle bus as it drove out to the parking lot and onto the road to wave us goodbye despite the snow and cold weather. We saw members of the 6th generation chatting and playing in the lounge just before dinner the evening before, while we were viewing the manuscripts and books of a poet (also a member of the family) in a display room near the reception, I wish the traditions of excellence and service of this small ryokan (and many others) will continue to be passed on to the next generations.

Everything was amazing, the staff was soo sweet and helpful, the food was excellent, the futon was really comfortable and the onsen was incredible.

The breakfast was great. Service was excellent. Location was also good.
