Wonderful.
Could not fault the service; staff were all lovely. Meals were exceptional! We stayed two nights - multi- course extravaganza night one and shabu-shabu night two. Japanese breakfasts were outstanding. The room we stayed in was huge and looked over the adjacent river and forest. Our stay was magical!

We absolutely loved our stay. The staff was amazing! They greeted us with tea and a snack. We also got to enjoy complimentary sake in the main hall. My husband and I loved the onsen. They had separate ones for males and females and give you a designated time to have a private onsen time with your partner. The dinner and breakfast were amazing, they provide you with a traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast. We would highly recommend to anyone!

8/10 Very good

Despite some flaws, we really enjoyed our stay at Wanosato. The meal service was the highlight of the trip - the chef was excellent as was the server (same every night). The room was a bit dated but the was overcome by the amazing setting right on the river and traditional rooms. The flaws were the shuttle bus was very rigid (except when they decided we had to wait for other passengers) and we had to take multiple taxis to the train station because it wasn’t running. They had no idea how we would do a hike in the area so we ended up on a road walk. They also have no lunch so we had to go to town for lunch which ended up being a 3 hour excursion because of the shuttle.

Unbelievable property. The views and sounds of the river in every room are intoxicating. It’s down a super quiet street so you won’t hear any traffic. The meals were outstanding. The onsens were both unique and beautiful. The fixtures are dated but it makes the esthetic that much more authentic. I can’t recommend enough as a launching point to explore Takayama. I hope to be back!

Stunning location and views from the shared spaces. Kaiseki style food had so much effort put in to it too, with some delicious dishes. Disappointing that my wife couldnt use the cave onsen because of all male bathing, which really was the highlight. Frustrating too that they didnt have any slots for private couple onsens on the second day.

Location was very pleasant. The ryokan was in a traditional hut, located by and with views of the river. The booking experience was good as the ryokan responded promptly to my online queries and gave instructions on pick up clearly. Food was excellent - traditional Japanese Kaiseki. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner very much.

A charming rustic place. Comfortable and pleasing. Food was good. The living and showering areas could get really cold so I would suggest improving on this aspect. Another point of improvement would be the response time via email.

Simply amazing!
Absolutely one of the best experiences we've ever had. We stayed in the Kariyasu Villa overlooking the stream at the end of the property. The breakfast and dinner were astonishingly unbelievable. All of the dishes were of local specialties or Japanese: river fishes, sashimi, Hida beef, and so on. So if you're not open to fully experience Japanese cuisine, then try more westernized hotels and don't go to a traditional ryokan. The quality is beyond or like any Michelin starred restaurant we've been to and the quantity: come hungry! We were served by the kindest and warmest people. Sure, the English is more simplified, but we're in Japan! If you want fluent English, probably best not to go to other countries other than US or UK. Also, it's the twentieth century: Google Translate! We stayed 4 days/3 nights and enjoyed the onsen every night and day ... at our last day we even went twice! They switch the female and male onsens in the morning & evening. We were by ourselves for the most part and preferred the room with rock tubs. The evenings around the fire with hot sake was truly magical. The room does get smokey, but if you listened/learned a little about ryokans and traditional Japanese homes, it's to keep the building from rotting and repels the insects. In all, we are already talking about when we can again treat ourselves to go back!

Delightful Experience in Ryokan
We have a fantastic experience of a traditional Ryokan. Staff were so hospitable and the food was exquisite. Our rooms were overlooking the stream and in the big house which we enjoyed. Glad we stayed 2 nights and it was a welcome break from the city trip. We enjoyed the Bamboo Sake Magic tricks by the fire and meeting up with other guest. They have a limited free shuttle service but taxis were easily arranged for our early morning departure. We enjoyed wearing the robes and they have two segregated insensitivity. I liked the large wooden bath in our room. It made a great lasting memory in such a fascinating count.

Friendly staff, Amazing property albeit a bit dated which may add to its rustic charm. The location is 20 mins by car away from Takayama so take that into account, but they do have a shuttle that you can schedule. I would definitely stay here again.

Outstanding
This is an outstanding hotel in all respects. But it is more than a hotel or ryokan - it is a full experience. The showcase dinner on the first night ranks as one of the best experiences of my life and I am a frequent traveller. The staff are superb. This is a beautiful place and a must visit.

Amazing And Relaxing
We stayed at the Wanasoto for one night. The place is amazing, our room was on the river side so we had that as our background music . The hot springs are incredible relaxing . We had Japanese style dinner which was 1 1/2 long around 11 courses , all good and innovative . The sake at the fireplace was perfect. The staff is always trying to help and are very kind and respectful . Thank you Wanasoto

My Highest Recommendations
Wanosato is excellent. You will almost certainly be traveling from elsewhere in Japan, where you've had amazing culinary experiences. Even measured against the best restaurants in Tokyo and Kyoto, Wanosato will not disappoint. Further, this may be one of several ryokans you will be checking into. Wanosato will rank highly among them. In fact, it was my personal favorite in the set that I visited. And you will probably have relaxed in more than one onsen before visiting Wanosato's. For me, Wanosato's was more peaceful and more rejuvenating than the rest. Overall, I give Wanosato the highest marks. The staff is extremely thoughtful. I am grateful for their kindness.
