Located in Miyoshi and only 38 km from Tsurugi-san Chairlift, Kazuraya provides accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. Each accommodation at the 2-star ryokan has quiet street views, and guests can enjoy access to a spa centre and a public bath. The ryokan offers an open-air bath and a housekeeping service. The staff was so nice and respectful. It was pouring rain when we arrived, and the attendant held an umbrella for us until we got under cover! The meals were delicious, well-balanced, skillfully prepared, and filling. Everything else was just as amazing. The view of the valley, especially when it rained, was like being inside a painting (my new phone background). The steaming hot outdoor onsen was wonderful. The spacious room with a modern bathroom and comfortable futon was perfect. We received a message on booking.com that said they could not accommodate our pescatarian diet, but we went anyways, and when we asked at dinner about it, they were happy to replace the red meat and poultry with river fish. We are so grateful!!!

Guests can choose to stay in rooms with Western beds or Japanese futon bedding. The elegant rooms at Kadan Kotohira come with tatami-mat flooring and sliding paper screens. Amenities include an LCD TV, a DVD player and a fridge. Guests can choose to stay in Japanese-style houses, where Ogai Mori wrote his famous novel. This property is truly a gem. While I can comment only on the room we stayed in, room 503 which was a Japanese style room, I would rate it as a 10/10. The staff are all lovely. Every single staff member that crossed our path was very helpful, polite and friendly. Our room had a gorgeous 180 degree view over Kotohira. The sound of the river below was so nice. If I was to stay again, I would stay in a western style room simply because I found it difficult to get off the floor. I peeked in room 302 on my way out and think any western room on that side of that building with that view, could not be beat. We did not have our dinners at the hotel but did have breakfast every day for the four days we were there. The amount of food is enough to set you for the entire day. I enjoyed a vegetarian western breakfast while my husband enjoyed the Japanese breakfast. The food is delicious, the presentation is beautifully done and the service is exceptional. Such a hard working team. The staff were happy to take us to the train station whoever we wanted to go on a day trip. A day trip to the Iya valley and one to the Ritsurin gardens should not be missed.
