Yamanaka Onsen Kissho Yamanaka

A place to relax in . All the experience exceeded my expectations. They had treats that were not mentioned in booking like panckes in the afternoon, happy hour, free juice/ tea etc , puding in the evening and even a short traditional performance
The staff went out of his way to accomodate my dietry restrictions. All food served in an elegant way.
The public onsen was clean and pleasant actually i had it to myself. When using the outdoor they give you a special towel to cover yourself
The private onsens also were clean nice and pleasant
The shuttle bus to and from kagaonsen station very convenient
Overall excelent

Nice town with many shops and very walkable.
Nice path to walk along the river.
Great cooking lesson at Sankaido confectionery shop.
Food plan provided great meals, but we would like to have had a few meals in town.
Transportation to and from Kagaonsen train station was free and very convenient.
Room was spacious with a nice sitting area.

What could be improved: Meals ( breakfast and dinner) were a bit heavy for 5 days in a row. We would have liked some lighter fare on occasion.

Amazing ryokan located in the picturesque Yamanaka village. The staff was very professional and caring. The room was spacious, with coffee and tea sets ready to use. We enjoyed the onsen, the yukatas, the afternoon pancakes, the evening drinks, the geiko performance and everything else very much. The food was delicious, both in Kissho and in their Sister hotel (free bar and unlimited tempura there).
Honestly for everything we got the price was very reasonable.
We even got a special celebration with cake, drinks and gift for my husband's birthday.

What could be improved: Everything was great.

Everything
The hotel staff Asmidah from Nepal is an absolute ⭐.
She took such excellent care of us.

What could be improved: The hotel spoiled us with complimentary freshly made pancakes, puddings, all day free flow coffee/espresso/cappuccino, soft drinks, deserts and geisha performance.
We kept relaxing in the hotel till we have no time to explore the town.
We spent all our time in the hotel.

The breakfast is suitable for us, the quality is good. I drunk the night before and ate the salted fish with congee, it is good for stomach. Delicious.

Because I got the hotel around 4:00p.m., it is almost full booking for the private hot spring, I can't share the comment for 3 private hot spring pools.

Free pancake, coffee & juice, free beer(during Happy Hour), free dessert are good.

I spent around 55,XXX Yen for one night and the dinner is quite good. If the beef (or steak?) is hot(just warm), I will give higher score on the food. Overall is good for the dinner.

The room is tidy and the bed is set up ready after dinner.

The shower room is big and with a hot tub, the tub can be enjoyed with 2 ppl.

Overall is wonderful!

What could be improved: When we left, a owner (or supervisor?) was still talking on phone in front desk. There is no other staff to say goodbye or help us to check out. I just left the key on front desk and took the luggage to my car. When I put on the luggage, there is a staff occurred suddenly and said goodbye to us, it made me laugh~~
