Wow I realize the last review was in 2016 and was by me too! Here's a 2023 update. Firstly the onsen is gone. Instead it's been replaced by shared wooden ofuros. You get a 45-60 minute slot for your turn to use the male/female ofuro which can only be used in the evenings between 6-10pm. A rather odd rule is that the inn is only open from 10am to 4pm which means you have to leave your room daily by 10am and you can't re-enter the inn till 4pm. If you arrive before 4pm, the inn isn't open so you are expected to leave your luggage in a outdoor storage cabinet. It's not a locker so you can't lock it. There is no restaurant in the inn or nearby but they sell some snacks. Yoshino is a very traditional Japanese village and the restaurants shut by 5pm so you have to finish dinner by then. The staff were very nice but as you can probably tell by my description, non Japanese are probably going to find all this quite a challenging experience. Yoshino hasn't changed at all since I last went in 2016. Very beautiful and spiritual area. 

Meant mainly for domestic tourists

I booked late for the cherry blossom season and thought I was lucky even to get this. The room itself was nice and large. I was by myself but it was large enough for 4. It was on the first floor. We had a shared toilet on the first floor as well as toilets we could use on the ground and basement floors. The shower/bathroom was one of those communal types where potentially many people could shower at once. As mentioned previously, bath times were from 5 to 10 pm. There was no food available so you had to eat on the mountain (where the restaurants closed by 6pm) or the hotel could order Chinese takeaway for you. They also sold some snacks.

The toilet and bath situation actually weren't so bad once you got used to it but I didn't like the fact that the walls were so thin you could hear your neighbours' conversations.

The hotel was a very short walk from the train station and a 15 minute walk up the hill to the town. It is a very beautiful walk. The view from my room was lovely and the lady managing the place was very pleasant.

Overall I wouldn't give this a glowing assessment but given that there is so little accommodation available and Yoshino is so beautiful during the cherry blossom season, you should still book it if there's nothing else available.



Very basic

We stayed two nights in this Minshuku, a Japanese style family-run accommodation, in October 2014. Being out of the famous cherry blossom season, we were the only guests on our second night and received great hospitality from the couple who run this Minshuku throughout our stay there. As for the bath, we always go Japanese style in Japan: having a nice relaxing bath in the evening. We used the spacious bathroom with a large cedar wood bath tub all to ourselves, which was one of the most relaxing bathtimes we experienced in Japan. The Japanese style room with Tatami mats was small, but was clean, very cosy and atmospheric. This Minshuku has two strong advantages; its convenient location and the food delivery for dinner (Japanese/Chinese style) from a local restaurant. The Minshuku is located three minute walking distance from Yoshino station. This was so convenient for us as we had an excursion to Odaigahara mountains on our second day and we had to take a train to go to a station where the bus to the mountains departs. The historic ropeway station to go to the main area of Yoshino is also very close, but, if you don't mind walking, you can easily walk up the footpath to get there in 10-15 minutes from this Minshuku. The food delivery option was excellent for us as my English husband can get tired of those fine Japanese style meals. We had some nice noodle/rice dish and salad (not always perfect for vegetarians, though) for very reasonable price on both nights. The owner couple was so kind that they let us use a table in the main dining area, which made our dinner time somewhat more luxurious! The room didn’t, unfortunately, have a spectacular view (though we had a mountain view with the ropeway, which is not too bad), but overall this Minshuku provided us with great hospitality, service and convenience. The two night stay there was one of the most memorable experiences in this Japan holiday. N.B. the packed lunch prepared for our Odaigahara excursion by the owner’s wife (who used to be a big fan of Bay City Rollers and therefore keen to learn English!) was delicious and very good value for money!

Excellent budget accommodation with great hospitality at a very convenient location

The owner of this ryokan is very friendly and tries to help wherever possible. She helped finding a good restaurant, organized the laundry and we even got a present when we left the next morning. The japanese style rooms are not the biggest ones, but still ok for a night.

One strange thing is that you have to pay 100 Yen for a towel. But the biggest problem and the reason for the bad rating is: The bath (and also the shower) is only open from 17-22! Something we found out at 22:00... There is no way you can have a shower in the morning. And this is a no go for a hotel in my opinion!

Oh, and if you have no car be warned: There are no restaurants in the area.
