We had a really wonderful time at Wanosato experiencing winter and snow in authentic Japanese setting. The staff were really welcoming and made our stay special, every detail of our stay was taken care of.
We had the half-board with dinner and breakfast included. Really tasty dishes and tailored for us.
Will be looking forward to visiting again.

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!

Wanosato was exactly what I hoped for in a ryokan. The buildings are beautiful, and the riverside setting in the forest was a dream. It felt hugely private and was so relaxing. Staff were lovely and the level of service was fantastic. The kaiseki dinner blew us away - the food was all delicious and the level of care in making it was amazing. I could not recommend this place enough, and am only sad that I could not stay longer!

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!

Staff and property was great. On the first day however, the food that was offered was very little based on the total price that we spend for two nights; we went to bed hungry.

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.

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.

우선 종업원들이 눈 쌓인 곳까지 나와 차에서 트렁크를 내려서 끌지도 않고 들고 운반해주고(퇴실때에도 마찬가지…^^),가이세키 정식을 먹을때에도 친절하게 안내해주는 최고의 친절을 경험하게 되어 기분이 매우 좋았습니다.
창밖으로 보이는 개울물위에 소복하게 쌓여 있는 눈은 새삼 ‘눈멍’을 하게 합니다.
다음에 기회되면 다시 방문하여 더 많은 시간 와노사토의 공간을 경험하고 싶습니다^^

Une expérience traditionnelle géniale
Un lieu magique au bord de la rivière. Les chambres sont immenses et très belles. Le Onsen privatisable est génial. Le personnel est d’une gentillesse et d’une patience extrêmes, surtout que nous avons beaucoup changé nos plans sur les horaires d’arrivée et de départ et jamais ils ne se sont départis de leur sourire et de leur efficacité à trouver des solutions à tout.
Le petit déjeuner typique japonais avec beaucoup de poissons est un peu « hard » pour un occidental, mais c’est un bon moyen de s’imprégner de cette culture fascinante et des traditions japonaises, tout comme la nuit sur des futons, confortables néanmoins. Merci pour cette expérience !
