Room is quite small.

We have enjoyed our stay in this guesthouse. Felt very cozy here. We had a fabulous breakfast in the morning. Staff were friendly and he recommended me a fabulous Yakiniku Place. Best Yakiniku we have tasted. Thank you so much for making our stay so pleasant.

The dinner was quite good, but expensive and the kids' meals weren't great (not very interesting and they got a lot fewer courses than the adults - our kids were quite disappointed as other places gave them the same as us). They were also the only place in Japan that didn't manage to give me pescatarian food, despite me advising when I booked, when I arrived and on 2 occasions when I was given meat. The breakfast wasn't very good.

Charming traditional hotel and a short walk to the gorge.

Only 1 little thing, there was no bidet/washlet in the toilet.

Everything! Japanese style ryokan with very polite staff, at a good price too.

No shared space or garden. A bit far from most attractions.

Authentic, traditional, comfortable, quiet. There is a good meal service available.

even though i asked for a quite room, my room was not quite at all and every morning housekeepers were extremely noisy.. since the check out time is 10am i believe it would be much nicer to start cleaning the rooms and common areas after that time.. only 1 or 2 other rooms were occupied during my stay that's why i found it a bit disrespectful to start cleaning while guests are in their rooms =(

i liked the room the way it is, for me it was quite charming.. wet areas were renovated and comfortable enough.. breakfast was okay but i really liked the dinner.. Sunawara-san is an excellent cook and I was looking forward to his dishes every day ^^

Short walk to the Geibikei Gorge. The staff were very helpful, the room was comfortable and warm. Some of the facilities seem quite old, but the bathroom and toilet appeared to be recently renovated. Loved our stay!

Nothing

A very rural feeling and environment. Close proximity to Geibi Gorge. Piece and quiet. Good restaurant nearby

The rooms are a little bit too cold during the winter.

Very nice ryokan style room, nice toilet and room decoration. Staffs are really nice.

Visitors should be aware that the trains aren't very regular to the town so to be careful to plan. Around New Year some places (like restaurants) are closed so take care to plan if there is something you want to visit.

We loved the traditional Japanese ryokan style where we slept on futon in a tatami room. The food was delicious and included amazing sashimi at every dinner. The staff made great efforts to also make Japanese meals that my five-year-old son would eat and enjoy. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. The surroundings are extremely beautiful with the caves and Gebikei Gorge worth a visit. There are also other nice things to see like the castle and pokemon train (you need to book this in advance as it is small and busy). Having some Japanese language is very useful, but everyone also spoke English to us which we appreciated so much. Thank you!

the room is old and has a bit of smell. a big small for 4 person.

The Dinner and breakfast was really nice and quality food cooked and curated. comparing with another hotel where we had paid more, the dinner and breakfast at Kajiyabekkan Ramakkoro Yamaneko was definitely better tasting. Maybe the weather and temperature dropped drastically last night because of snow today, we felt really cold in our room, especially in the area of the toilet and bathroom. The room we stayed were a tad small for 4 of us. After putting the futon out, we had no space to walk except on each other’s futon. But we all did sleep well through the night. We will recommend this place if you love good food and don’t mind the room.

Bit old and small, Unstructured furnitures here and there.

10mins walk from Geibikei JR. Quiet corner of the street. 10mins go Geibikei Gorge boat ride area. In all, I would think not worth staying in Geibikei area, not much to see apart from the Gorge, which u can do a one day trip.

Early morning jingle at 0600 was not appreciated. Futon on floor was uncomfortable for me but I could have added another but was too lazy. A bit far from things and restaurants in area were mostly closed, not sure if due to Covid or not. Not much to do and 30min drive from Ichinoseki. Local train service is not frequent. Best to have a car.

Breakfast was great, traditional Japanese style which I like. Westerners may not appreciate the food. Staff very helpful. Furnishings are dated but clean. No musty odors. Quiet, did not hear other guests too much. Full bath with toiletries. Nice sized refrigerator for snacks. Convenient for Geibeki Gorge tour and relaxing in a quiet town.

Can't think of anything that we disliked.

We loved our stay here. The beds were very comfortable, the private bathroom was clean and well-equipped, and staff were excellent. I wish we'd stayed longer.
