Murataya

the tradition room is neat and tidy with marvellous hot spring. the owners’ helping hands are always ready when you come up to them. one of my best hotel experiences in japan

The ryokan was very clean and comfortable. My room was in good condition, and the bathroom fixtures were up-to-date. The ofuro (Japanese style bath) was small, but deep enough for me to soak up to my shoulders. There were a lot of little details that made me feel taken care of: they provided a yukata that fit me appropriately, they had perfumed the hallway with incense shortly before showing me to my room, they gave me good recommendations for curry restaurants and a sake shop, and the manager personally dragged my giant heavy luggage to a nearby courier and helped me send it to my next hotel. The staff were really great, I felt like they respected my boundaries, but when I engaged with them, they were warm and helpful. The manager spoke really good English. The rest of the staff spoke very little English, but with my limited Japanese and their patience, we were able to work things out. I felt very at home at Murataya. I wish I could have stayed longer!

It was like staying in a museum, for both good and bad. Shared bathrooms the bad. Great Location, great staff, great traditional breakfast

This is such a special place, my husband and 11 year old just loved it.

Nice people, nice environment, property needs a little update. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay.
