Cheap hotels in Tsubame

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Check-in was a breeze. The superior twin room was surprisingly spacious (1 double bed, 1 single bed), even by international standards. Breakfast was simple but hearty and delicious.

My brother and I were looking to experience a traditional Ryokan whilst we stayed in Japan. We stayed in a modern Ryokan in Kyoto and were quite dissapointed by our experience so we changed our travel plans to stay here for a night in the last week of our three week trip. It was the best decision we could have made! Koshi no yado Takashimaya offer a service of collecting you from the local shinkansen station and then also returning you there upon your depature. Without this service we wouldn't have been able to stay as it was a 30min drive each way and would have required a car to get there. The communication to staff of our arrival times and responses were exceptional. I believe this location had been recently listed on Booking.Com, as the there was little English and the staff commented that had had very few foriengers stay previously. Google translate was super helpful in this instance. This is 100% a hidden gem and well worth the visit! We enjoyed a lovely dinner service of 9 courses in our room, where we got to try puffer fish, with a friendly waitress delivering each course. Then the a staff member made our futons after dinner, for us to sleep on the floor with pebble pillows. The onsen was fantatsic! Amazing to be able to experience this, and there were rooms with private onsens for those who wanted them. We then had a traditional breakfast the next day in the dining room, again amazing food. Only thing to be aware of is that the drinks in the fridge are not complimentary, and will be charged to your room. The value for money for this experince was incredible! It was well worth spending a bit more and venturing out to the country side to enjoy this inn which had lots of character and lovely staff. We were given Japanese socks complimentary upon departure. Plus they had a cute gift shop at the inn as well. If you are thinking about making the trip to stay here - do it! It is only an hour and a half from Tokyo via train. One of the highlights of trip!

Rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean. The lounge with free drink machines were superb. Hot spring bath was clean and large. The meal served was great taste, beautiful presentation. All the staff were friendly and helpful

Room was spacious, private onsen available, very delicious breakfast. Beautiful garden with cute pair of sheeps to walk around.

Beautiful and onsen access for guests was well appreciated (even ok with tattoos)

Spotless room and an excellent public Onsen. Complimentary breakfast with a variety of options. Free private parking. Free coffee machine located in the lobby area.

The friendly host, cute cats, the local and international experience of staying together in a guesthouse.
