Beautiful Japanese Garden Kagetsu

Beautiful ryokan with a big amazing garden with rocks, plants, trees, streams and carps (really remarkable). Beautiful room, very spacious and clean. We had the room with the private onsen, very nice, and view on the garden. Delicious breakfast and dinner, thoughtfully presented and curated to the smallest details. Very nice public onsen with indoor and outdoor pools. Great staff, very helpful and kind. It was an extremely pleasant stay, I wish we had spent more nights there. I would absolutely recommend it!

I was an absolute awe at the beauty of this place. Very traditional ryokan stay with a touch of elegance that you feel from the moment you walk in. Koi ponds were everywhere. The gardens were very beautiful. Very calming and quiet area. The room was absolutely huge and exceeding all my expectations. They even provided green tea and snacks inside room. The hot springs were so wonderful. We had private one in room that was so perfect. The place was perfect for our last night in Tokyo. They even have a shuttle car to nearest station ( 15 min walk) The breakfast was SO good and traditional style in the morning. Breakfast and Dinner are served in a dining hall with overview of garden. I wish I wasn't so sick to have enjoyed more of the breakfast. I never wanted to leave this place.

We went for just one night at the end of our 2nd week in Japan. The service culture was excellent - the staff treated us like guests and were very friendly and keen to help. We really enjoyed meeting our guide. The food that was served at dinner and breakfast was incredibly authentic and high quality, they used very fresh ingredients. I had told them in advance that I wouldn't eat seafood and they accomodated this by giving me more vegetable and meat options. It is fun to wear the Yukata. The public bathing area is beautiful as well, we used it twice! Overall it is a great atmosphere and feels very cultural; since much of Japan is now westernising/modernising, coming to a place like this is probably up there with the most traditional culture you can hope to experience. The garden is nice to walk around in and feeding the koi is lots of fun. At the end of our stay we felt like all of the stress and tension from the last two weeks of being busy and constantly on-the-go had just melted away.

Staff were exceptionally friendly. While most could only speak a little english, they carry around translators to help. The grounds were breathtaking and fun to walk and explore. Onsen was so relaxing. Dinner and breakfast was also a great experience with a large variety of traditional japanese foods. It was fun to taste things outside of the mainstream japanese tourist fare.

Great ryokan with an amazing half board menu. I definitely recommend booking the room with private onsen…
