Although this property is aging, and it rained a lot while I was there, I loved it. The staff is very friendly, cheerful and helpful. My room was huge! There was a closet, a desk and a table with two chairs. There was also a large window, so a lot of natural light. The communication about my arrival time at the Oboke station went smoothly, and someone was there to pick me up as promised.
I chose to have two breakfasts and two dinners at Sunriver. Both were amazing. The dinner server explained all the dishes with the help of a printed English menu.
A free shuttle leaves three times every morning for the boat dock and station. The public bus stops nearby, too, but it doesn’t run very often. If you arrive at Oboke station, take a photo of the bus schedule before you get in the van. The English version is posted just outside the station doorway.
The onsen is on an upper floor. Because the windows steam up, there isn’t much of a view. It was similar to other hotel onsens I used. Perfectly fine, but not extraordinary.
The charge for two nights and four meals was exactly what I paid for one night in a tiny room near Tokyo station.
Kazuraya provides a public bath and free private parking, and is within 23 miles of Tsurugi-san Chairlift.

We had a very nice recently renovated Japanese style room with a nice view. The onsen was very enjoyable and we could enjoy the beautiful surroundings from there. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, creative dishes with local ingredients like buckwheat. Everyone was very welcoming.

Unique experience in the magical Iya valley - Shino-san has made the stay unforgettable! The house is very traditional and lovingly furnished, with a fantastic view over the valley. Shino-san is a fantastic cook and his sake collection defies descriptions. Lots of things to see in the surrounding area. Great immersion into the Japanese lifestyle and culture. Thank you Shino-san for your hospitality!!!

I particularly like the interior decor of the room. It is new and modern and yet retain some Japanese elements, like a tatami floor in the sitting area. It is clean and attends to details such as providing a lot of sockets for electrical appliances. It is conveniently located in the Oboke region

The overall experience was good. Taking a "cable car" to the outdoor Onsen was an experience. Having said that the Onsen facility is basic compared to some others that I have visited before.
It's just a lovely area that lives up to it's reputation.

Miyoshi is great.
Miyoshi is great. Spread over quite a few km, this area has so much to offer. I loved the historic elements as well as the scenery/ geography. Most restaurants focus on fresh local produce, and spot on for flavour and quality !

Beautiful & amazing place, The rare grand landscape of the mountains and waters in Japan!!! There are many interesting places hide in the deep mountains, waiting for you to discover, it is a place worth spending a few days to slowly experience and play! And if you hate crowding with many tourists, this is definitely a great choice.
Great experience! Loved everything including the wood chopping, making the fire beneath the rice and bath, and making rice balls. Saw shooting stars as we relaxed outside after a fabulous dinner. Shino San could not have been more attentive to our every need. Nick really enjoyed sampling sakes from all regions of Japan. Sorry not to contribute a bottle! We will send our daughter with an offering to your sake collection.
Note that this is rustic accommodation with a composting toilet.
Everything. Staff were friendly and attentive including valet parking service. Hotel was a lovely building in a beautiful setting. Rooms were clean and spacious, staff will make your beds up whilst at dinner. Dinner and breakfast were both outstanding, a delicious selection of traditional and locally sourced japanese cuisine in a very aesthetic room. We only used the outdoor onsen which you take the funicular to. It was clean with beautiful views and not busy during our visit.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Sunriver Oboke. The staff are incredibly nice, the location is stunning, the food is really enjoyable and reasonably priced, and the onsen has incredible views of the river and hillsides. We also forgot our coats in the room and the staff were kind enough to mail them urgently to our final hotel stay in Tokyo. It was overall an incredible experience. This inn was the highlight of my stay in Japan, I already want to return.
I booked there one week before leaving Japan since I never went to an Onsen. It is definitely not the regular kind of onsen and more of the high end kind. the food was original and tasteful (both evening and breakfast) both the indoor and the outside bath were beautiful and the staff was speaking good english.
If you are tall, notify them, they had to change my Kimono since they did not expect me to be this tall (over 178cm you should probably tell them).
First, I went to check in at their restaurant (HESO SALON, which btw I highly recommend, I had dinner there), then I walked to the HESO CAMP (just 10 mins away on foot). It's a beautiful traditional Japanese house. I had a huge room to myself, it was perfectly clean and I slept like a baby. The innkeeper, whom I met a the restaurant) is very friendly, helpful and also speaks great English. Very positive experience, great value for money!
Great location to visit Iya Valley (just need to catch the JR train a couple of stops to Oboke). Nice, traditional guesthouse 10 mins walk from town/train station. You can use bikes for free to ride into town (only 5 min ride to a big supermarket).
Air-conditioning in the room and we also had a small balcony. Can use washing machine for free and we dried everything outside.
Beds were fairly comfortable for Japanese style.
Very good place right next to the vine bridge in central Iya Valley. Sweet lady from Osaka who has lived in Iya for 50 years cooks local ingredients some of which she grows herself. She served the local Iya kind of tofu which I was so happy about. As soon as I stepped in the door I felt like it was a place I could relax. Please get dinner! The breakfast was standard Japanese breakfast but the dinner was special and tasty.

Charming japanese guesthouse in Miyoshi. The staff was friendly and very obliging and it felt very welcoming.
The room looked exactly like on the pictures.
We loved everything about it and our stay was wonderful. We would come here again.
We recommend to book with dinner, it was delicious and a great experience.
The beautiful Onsen was included and with free toiletries.
Traditional Japanese inn (ryokan), includes dinner and breakfast, has hot spring-fed baths (onsen). They were completely accommodating to our pescatarian diet. Multiple-course meals served beautifully. Very comfortable futons arranged by staff while you are out during the day. Location is for visiting Iya Valley, and vine bridge.

Great place! Good location - close to two bus stops, some major attractions and small shops and restaurant.
Rooms are spacious and very clean. Bath is also very nice to use.
Food is fantastic, one of the best I’ve had in Japan.
The owner is super nice and helpful.
An amazing location, large rooms, clean and comfortable. very iconic Japanese hotel. The outdoor baths were very pleasant and a highlight of the stay, as was the opportunity to use the hotel’s e bikes for a ride through the area. one of our best stays in Japan.
Stayed 3 nights unfortunately the cafe was closed due to a private party on the first night and closed on Monday. But the night we did eat there it was good.
Spacious Japanese style room and very good shared showers and toilets.
Dinner was outstanding. - worth staying here just for the food. The host was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The room was traditional Japanese - lovely, but sleeping on a futon still takes some getting used to.
Shino-san’s home is one of the most fascinating and gorgeous places I’ve ever stayed. The wood fired hot tub, the traditional Japanese hearth, the view, the decor and the location are all wonderful.
The 4SStay Ikeda crew runs a great shop! The (Japanese style) room was spacious and fine. We loved the 4SStay coffee shop/restaurant on the ground floor. Terrific crew and great service!
Dinner and breakfast were amazing. And the outdoor onsen is maybe the most beautiful I have ever experienced in Japan. I can only recommend this hotel!
