Sanso Tensui

They didn’t just adjust meals to my dietary needs. They encouraged me to tell them what I enjoy eating so the meals could be perfect for me. I really really appreciated this gesture as everywhere else in Japan seems to resent anyone who can’t eat everything. The rooms are spacious and the private bath in room type B is huge! We also stayed another night in Kaori room and the bath here was something else. The reservable private baths are super magical and clean. Never had any issue booking those. You can choose to have breakfast at 11 which is great if you want to sleep in or enjoy the baths instead of wasting precious time eating. It’s a luxurious stay from start to finish. I will never forget this stay. My husband and I have vowed to come back for our ten year anniversary, just to stay here. Book this place. Don’t hesitate. The bad reviews are super old and we didn’t encounter any of the issues

It’s beautiful. They have like 4 onsen and rooms with private onsen and you can also book a private onsen. Very nice for couples as the regular onsen are women or men only. We had the room wit private onsen and it was worth every penny. The room looked out on the waterfall and a nice Japanese garden. The surroundings are beautiful. You hear and see the waterfall, everything is like a Japanese fairytale. The employees are the kindest. And the food is probably the best Japanese food we had. The total experience was so luxurious and perfect. We loved it!

I could write a novel about the excellence of Sanso Tensui and it's staff. From the moment we arrived at the train station and were welcomed, to seeing the property and being awe struck, to checking in and seeing our room, and everything in between, we were absolutely in love with Sanso Tensui and glad we decided to stay here. The onsen (private and public) are incredible. Many are near waterfalls or are immersed in nature. I spent many hours in the baths, or reading on the patio surrounded by nature. Every staff member was incredibly welcoming and helpful. The food was incredible, not just in taste but in presentation. I honestly am so overwhelmed with how incredible it was that I don't even know what else to write. All I can say, I wish I could stay there forever. It was the perfect way to relax, unwind and refresh my brain. I can't wait to come back.

I would like to have left a review letter but I forgot because I was pressed for flight time. So I leave my review here: Overall, it was all great. Room condition, onsen(condition and number of), food, staff. I've been to ryokan a few times, this ryokan was better than I expected. Actually it kept on raining during my stay. Usually, I don't like rainy days but I've change my mind-a scenery of rainy day have a charm of its own, it does. Sitting in the open-air bath and watching the rain-soaked mountain and valley was rest and relaxation I imagined. I'll recommend to my friends that Sanso Tensui will be best choice for get away from hustle and bustle. It was a little difficult to get there, but it was worth it.

Thank you for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. A dreamlike ryokan nestled in the middle of a small gorge surrounded by lots of forest. The onsen were a dream with a direct view of the river and forest. The varied and diverse food in the evening and morning was fantastic. The staff were very helpful and could fulfil our every wish. The pick-up service from the train station was also great. We can only warmly recommend the Ryokan to anyone who wants to forget everyday life. This is exactly the right place.
