    We came to Takachiho to visit the famous gorge and when looking at accommodation, there were little around. Ryokan Shinsen was definitely more on the pricer side, however having stayed the 2 nights, I would be more than keen to stay here again. The facilities and rooms were immaculate. The service was excellent, very attentive. Breakfast and dinner were included in the stay and it's definitely an experience. There is plenty of parking if you're planning on driving and close to tourist attractions.

    Dinner and breakfast was exceptional. There was so much attention to detail in each dish as well as drink. Service was great, they had complimentary housemade cheese cookies and chocolates for valentines day which was lovely. They have a private onsen in each room.

    The beautiful decor, amenities, stylish Yukata, and thoughtful touches all throughout the room. Fantastic hospitality and amazing food! It was clear the property owner and chef had a clear point of view even down to the quality of paper napkins provided and food portions that were not too overwhelming. The excellence shines through everything provided. The room is too comfortable—we only wished we had more time to enjoy it.

    Cosy hostel style property with common area, though we had private bathroom in large room we had booked. Breakfast included, simple but enjoyable. Comfy futons.

    This was the best ryokan we've ever stayed in Japan! Not only it was exceptionally clean and located in a very quiet neighborhood, but there were also rooms with private bathrooms, which is quite rare to find! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Takachiho gorge is only 10 minutes away, there's a direct road to it just around the corner of the hotel. If you get lucky enough you might even see an owl at night!

    Very new and modern Hotel. (Unfortunately without the typical Onsen/Pool with hot spring) But a perfect location to explore the area incl. Mt. Aso Volcano (ca. 25 km) and the famous Takachiho Gorge (ca. 1 km). Car is recommended and no problem due to the big parking lot! The staff is very helpful and friendly and they give you recommendations for places to go and to see! I would highly recommend this hotel in Takachiho if you like to stay there for a couple of days!
