Ryokans in Takachiho

Kamigakure is a real treat to stay in and was one of the highlights of our holiday in Japan. The room is incredibly spacious, well equipped with everything you could possibly need. There were thoughtful touches throughout like local sweets each day and drinks in the fridge to keep you hydrated whilst using the private bath and sauna. Our room also had a projector and screen, which could be watched from bed and was a real treat when unwinding in the evening. The breakfast and dinner each day were exceptional using local fresh produce. I liked that there was a menu before eating, which told you everything you would receive during the meal. The portion sizes were also perfect for us. Not too much and not too little. Location to the gorge is perfect and was within walking distance (15-20 minutes) with Takachiho Shrine on the way. Also, recommend trying Marumoku Coffee in the village (check his opening times on Instagram first as they vary day to day). Would also recommend the karaage restaurant across the road from Takachiho Shrine. Both excellent. The staff were a real pleasure and asset to Kamigakure. Very welcoming and couldn't do more to help you have a comfortable stay. I would definitely stay here again and it has given me fond memories of my trip that I'll always remember. Could not recommend more.

The Kumano and Hourai rooms were perfect for our family of 4 people. we stayed 2 nights. The dinners and breakfasts were fantastic. The Takachiho beef was very special. The ryokan staff were very friendly and helpful

The host was very helpful and cheerful

Very very good breakfast spread. Rooms are clean and comfortable

After visiting Mount Aso, we stayed in this Buddhist temple. The accomodation is actually a big apartment, with sitting room, dining room, bathroom and bedroom. Everything is new and with beautiful interior design. The beds are very comfortable and have tatami undermatrasses. The caretakers are very helpful and friendly, and the vegan food was delicious.
