This is the place to visit if you want a quiet and relaxing onsen experience. This family run ryokan is easy to find and offers a truly traditional Japanese experience. The traditional washoku breakfast and dinner were superb. The private baths are clean and makes the ryokan experience even more pleasing. On my list of places to visit again next year!

住过的日本温泉酒店中最喜欢的一家，性价比很高！ 环境非常安静， 有三个私汤和两个大众汤（一个室内一个室外）， 晚上还有观星活动，非常幸运的看到了土星。 料理也非常棒！满分推荐！

Good ryokan

Water in onsen, scenery, dinner(kaiseki) and breakfast are absolutely good and staffs are very kind. I’d like to find bad experience but there is no bad thing. I recommend that yamashinobu is good for everyone.

控えめな夕食だったけど　素晴らしい滞在でした

センスのよい設えで、もちろん清潔　24時間のかけ流しの内風呂が部屋に備わる贅沢 ひさしぶりに親子川の字の3式の寝具をならべてくつろぎました 夕食はおいしいけどちょっと量や品数は少なめ　朝食も上品だけどあまり特徴のない内容 サービスはやさしく、適度な距離感　気持ちよくすごせました

시골 한적한 곳에 있기 때문에 가는데 꽤나 시간이 걸립니다. 저는 렌터카를 이용했습니다. 픽업 서비스도 요청하면 해주는 것으로 알고 있습니다. 조용한 시골이라 별이 정말 잘보입니다. 아쉽게도 저는 날씨 문제로 이용하지 못했지만, 료칸 내 천문대에서 9시부터 9시 반까지 천체망원경 관람을 할 수가 있습니다. 근처에 편의점 등이 없기 때문에 필요한 용품 및 간식 등은 미리 사가시는걸 추천합니다. 가이세키 정식은 해산물 위주로 나왔습니다. 맛은 꽤나 좋았습니다. 노천 온천은 상당히 좋았습니다. 다만 개인탕(가족탕) 같은 경우 물이 좀 꽤나 뜨거웠습니다. 서비스는 너무 친절해서 좋았습니다. 한적한 시골의 전통적인 료칸을 느끼고싶다면 추천합니다.

정말 좋았던 료칸

부모님 만족도 최고였어요 앞서 2박은 다른 료칸에서 묵었는데 여기가 제일 좋았고 방도 산속이지만 따뜻했고 가이세키도 좋았고 밤에 천문관측 서비스도 좋았고요 직원분들이 무엇보다 행복해보였고 친절하셨습니다. 송영이 되어서 쿠로가와 역에서 왔다갔다했어요 다음에 재방문 또 하고싶어요
