Proceed with caution.

Where do I begin! Firstly the staff were wonderful and very kind, but this is where the positives end. I guess if you are seeking a traditional Japanese experience then this maybe worth considering although the price seems disproportionately high given the quality of the room and facilities. The main issue I had was the stairs in my room to ge from the living room to the bedroom, which are a problem if you have any mobility issues and it could be argued they are a border line Heath and Safety risk. I could not see any photos of the stairs for my room in the Hotel.com website and felt there should have been some kind of warning well in advance of the booking re this room giving us the option to cancel. We were forced to checkout after the first night of our 3 night stay because of this issue and pay for another hotel. The owners refused to provide any form of compensation in the way of a refund despite numerous request. I await Hotel.com response to this issue.

This is an elegantly appointed Ryokan in the style of old Japan, yet it has all modern conveniences and amenities. It is an architectural beauty, with magnificent gardens and artistic and authentic interior decor as well. But the best feature is the staff of kind, efficient and friendly people who are committed to making your stay memorable. Arigato Gozaimasu! This was an extraordinary and magical experience, not to be missed!

Unbeatable ryokan, beautiful and full of history

This was an absolutely unforgettable experience, and i cant recommend this ryokan more highly! The house is over 100 years old, with a lot of original wood, glass and structure, but modernised to provide comforts like heating/air conditioning, modern toilets and bathrooms and coffee machine. The architecture of it has even placed it in some books about Ryokans. Staff speak excellent English, making it easy for non-Japanese speakers. Yoshiko showed us around and explained how everything works. We felt very welcomed by everyone here, and our stay was truly wonderful. The breakfast was delicious and extravagant, very traditional and they delivered it to our room. The gardens are beautiful, looking mystical with lots of moss and small trees. I will mention that the walkway to the bathroom and toilet is an open air walkway (there is a roof and walls, just one side of the walkway is open and faces the garden), so in the winter it may be cold - so bring warm comfy clothes! There is a lovely library room, where you can have tea snd sweets, and mingle with other guests. This is a really beautiful house, historic and authentic. I will never forget my stay here and the welcoming warmth of everyone we met!

My husband and I booked the Tsuki room for one night. The Ryokan was absolutely beautiful. This place had such charm and the room was so cozy. Everything was perfect about our stay. The staff was so kind and thoughtful towards us. The breakfast in the morning was very delicious. We were able to try both private baths. One in the evening and one in the morning before breakfast. The warm bath was a perfect end to our busy day and fixed our tired feet. The owner came to thank us for staying with them and she saw us off in the morning. Will definitely be back. This place had so much beauty and history all in one.

We truly had the experience of a lifetime at Toshiharu Ryokan. The staff are incredibly warm and thoughtful. When we arrived for check-in we were given a tour of the property, provided with matcha, and we reserved our private onsen times. Our night was very comfortable, the onsen was clean and relaxing with all amenities you could dream of. The breakfast the next morning was delivered to our room by the chef herself - it was spectacular! Down to every last detail, this stay was immaculate and one we will never forget. Thank you to all the Ryokan staff for contributing to our excellent experience.

This property is a traditional haven where guest can discover peace, eat amazing beautifully prepared Japanese and western food. It is conveniently located to all sites. They have the most amazing staff who are excited to share Japanese culture with guests who are so polite and positive. Our morning and evening baths in the private onsen were a meditation. My daughter and I have stayed in many hotels around the world and this one is the most magical. Thank you all at Toshiharu Ryoken!!!Highly recommend.

This is a very traditional ryokan experience and I had a wonderful time!!! I stayed 2 nights after some time in Tokyo and the vibes were immaculate. Upon arrival you take off your shoes and are greeted, given a tour of the place, escorted to your assigned room, and then given a welcome matcha! They serve you a traditional Japanese breakfast that differs every morning (you book this in advance when you arrive) The bath/shower area is shared but you have to reserve a time slot to utilize it (also done when you arrive). It was a great experience. Yes you sleep on the floor but there are mattress and sleep toppers with a fluffy duvet. It was quite comfortable! Shoutout to Ando san and Yoshiko for being amazing hosts.
