Top Hotels Near Kantenpapa Garden in Ina from AU$76

"The room smelt very badly of stale smoke. We booked a standard room, but didn’t realise that this would be “smoking” (maybe this is normal in Japan and it was our mistake?). But it was a terrible experience. Would not recommend this place at all. "

"BYAKU Narai feels less like a hotel and more like a pause in time. Set within lovingly restored Edo-era townhouses, it invites you to slow your breath and listen—to creaking wood, soft light, and the quiet rhythm of Narai-juku after the crowds fade. Nothing is excessive, nothing is missing; every detail exists with intention and restraint. As night falls and the street empties, the town glows gently, and you realize BYAKU isn’t trying to impress you—it’s asking you to stay present. A rare, soulful place that lingers long after you leave."

"good"

"Fantastic stay. Room overlooking the lake was wonderful. The staff were very helpful and always happy to help. The included bus tour of the shrines was a lovely bonus. The option of the included meals was fantastic and the meals we had over our stay were outstanding. Would recommend."

"Our experience with this hotel was overall good! Staff was kind and friendly, facilities were a little dated and the lighting inside the room needs updating, pure white light is not the most pleasant, however the traditional Japanese bedroom experience was very cool! Breakfast was also awesome! That alone made this experience super cool!"

"If you are a tourist, this place is only accessible by taxi. If you want to take the bus, make sure you do not have luggage as the city busses are very small. The onsen is really the highlight of the place. "

"The staff was very nice and helpful. I would stay there again."

"The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They offered us another room for our second night after we realized we booked a room without a private toilet. The meals were some of the best we had in Japan with wonderfully varied menu using high quality ingredients. It is tucked away from Kiso Fukushima town so you need to take a taxi (approx Y4,000) or other transportation. It was nice to experience a quieter ryokan in the country."

"Great place."
