Beautiful Japanese Garden Kagetsu Reviews

The ambience was fabulous and Kaiseki meals astonishing. The room big and comfortable. The price was well deserved. Kagetsu is top notch with their attention to details for their service, food, Onsen baths and more. Don’t hesitate to go there. It’s a dreamlike stay. 🎎

Awesome! The hot springs are great! The room is also quite big ~ because there are not many people staying there, it is very good to go to the hot springs, and overall it is very clean! And the breakfast in the morning is also delicious. The izakaya opposite the dinner is super good and delicious🤤

Shihe Hot Spring is a very small village. This hotel is a 20-minute walk from the station. Contact the hotel in advance to reserve a shuttle. A taxi is not expensive and costs less than 20 yuan. Features of the hotel are the courtyard and hot springs. The courtyard is exquisite and has koi carps. The hot springs are particularly good, natural hot springs. Breakfast is a set meal. When checking in, the front desk will ask guests in advance what time they would like to eat. There is a home wine shop opposite the hotel, which is open late in the evening. The rooms are all Japanese-style, sheets are recycled every day, and staff will come to make the beds in the evening. It will be more difficult for the elderly to sleep on the floor, which needs to be considered in advance. The room is large and can sleep 5-6 people. Outside our room is a rockery with an artificial waterfall landscape. At first, I was worried that the sound of water would affect my sleep. What's very considerate is that the waterfall will automatically close at 9:30 every evening and at noon, allowing guests to have a rest in peace. Overall, I was very satisfied. Apart from hot spring bathing, there were no other entertainment activities.

The room is arranged to surround the garden, releasing many carps. The garden made of rare stones that I have never seen before is beautiful, the open-air bath is large and clean, and the overall feeling is pretty good. The service feels insufficient.

This place is an absolute dream. So relaxing and the gardens are beautiful. The staff was hospitable and explained our dinner and breakfast patiently. The area is in a quiet little town and a couple vineyards that allow you to taste a small collection and bring wine back to your room. Amazing experience!!

My favorite accommodation stay on our 3 week trip to Japan by far! Secluded and peaceful with a large onsen that was opened 24/7. Friendly staff, massive rooms and a tasty meal for breakfast and dinner. I've already started recommending the place to friends who are travelling to Japan this year.

The property was amazing. The private onsen was perfect for the family. The area was quiet so there wasn’t much to do but stay in the room and relax. The food was amazing and it seemed like it wasn’t enough, which is not true. We were full at the end of every meal and so were the kids. AMAZING.

Such a beautiful ryokan - both modern and traditional at the same time, with lovely koi ponds and beautiful gardens. The kaiseki meal at dinner was fabulous, too! Weʻve stayed at so many ryokan in Japan (we live here!) and this one rates among the top. The price is really reasonable for such a beautiful property.

2 adults & 2 children. I had called the day before to confirm the meal contents and had requested a child's plate for one child, but when I entered the dining room, due to a communication error, both children had been placed on a child's plate. When I informed the staff in charge of serving the meal, they immediately made adjustments and added the kaiseki meal for one adult without taking down the extra child's plate.My eldest son, who has a big appetite, was very satisfied. Ta. The gardens, rocks, ponds, and carp on the premises were wonderful, and it was the first time I had been to an inn where I had so much fun walking around the inn. The large public bath was open 24 hours a day, so I was able to enjoy the hot springs at any time, so I was able to enjoy the hot springs four times in total, twice in the evening and twice in the morning. There are restaurants, ramen shops, and convenience stores nearby, so you might not have any trouble staying overnight without meals.

I wish the dining area had been a little more thoughtful. Everything else was great.

The spectacular rock garden, beautiful Nishikigoi, luxurious interior, and luxurious furniture displayed throughout the interior. When you arrive, you will be immediately impressed by the luxury of the accommodation. You can feed the Nishikigoi (sold at the front desk for 100 yen) throughout the facility. I was wondering why the water in the pond was clean and clear, so I asked the people at the inn, and they told me that they use spring water for the pond water, and that fresh spring water is constantly flowing without being recycled. did. The color of the Nishikigoi shines beautifully in the clear, moss-free water. This is a wonderful inn that will look great in photos no matter where you take them. The hot springs in the open-air baths in the guest rooms felt fresh as they flow directly from the source (no circulation?), but I feel that the hot water in the large communal baths is less fresh (with circulation?) compared to the open-air baths in the guest rooms. It may just be my imagination due to my subjective opinion...) I enjoyed the outdoor bath in my room many times and my skin became moist and smooth. I think the quality of the spring water will appeal to everyone. One disappointing point is the dinner. I ate at the restaurant instead of in my room. Perhaps due to a staff shortage, I couldn't find an employee when I wanted to call, so I wasn't able to eat the food when I wanted. The food was delicious with seasonal ingredients and a strong flavor throughout. This is one of the inns I would like to visit again.

There are famous stones, a garden, and colored carp swimming all over the grounds, and you can see them from anywhere. It was a wonderful stay. All the meals are delicious and satisfying.

Although it is a historical inn, it has been well-maintained so that it doesn't feel old in a good way. Since the site is very large, I think it would be very difficult to maintain a garden or pond of this size. The sight of carp swimming gracefully creates a relaxing atmosphere, and the stone garden is also stunning. It was a luxurious structure with a stone garden made of gravel even inside the room. The room I was shown this time was 110 Suimei in the east hall, which had been recently renovated. It said it had an open-air bath, but it would be more appropriate to call it a semi-open-air bath where you can see the garden through the gap between the stones if you open the large window. Calling it an open-air bath is a bit of a misnomer, so I think it would be better to replace the photo. It was a spacious and wonderful room, so I think it would be a shame if I was disappointed in the room with the open-air bath in the photo. However, the newly renovated room was clean and very comfortable. The temperature of the hot water in the room was higher, which I liked. Flowers of hot water are floating. When I inquired about the Wi-Fi in my room, it was quickly adjusted and resolved. Thank you for your quick response. The meal was very filling, but the seasoning was so refreshing that I finished it all. The large natto for breakfast was very delicious.

I was healed by the open-air bath in my room.
