Takeyaso Ryokan

The room was very well-prepared and the owner is kind and helpful, and seems like she has some interesting stories to tell. I was hoping the bar would be a gathering spot for all the guests, but I never saw it open (appears to be by reservation?) That we were encouraged to return by 9 PM was also a bit onerous (given it is 30 minutes from the city centre), but an understandable part of the guesthouse experience.

We had a wonderful stay in this historic inn, a beautiful property and convenient location for exploring Amagasaki, Osaka, and Kobe. We will be coming back!

This was a super neat experience! The first night, we were brought cups of Japanese tea! There was a no shoes rule which made the hotel feel cleaner. However, when there was other guests smoking, we did smell it from our non-smoking room. Aside from that, the hotel was a super cool experience, and if I'm ever in Japan again I would 10/10 stay here again!

This ryokan has a lot of character and feels different from a lot of other ones. It's cozy and functional. The area around it is a little boring, but I guess that's better than a noisy neighborhood full of party people.

いつもながら非常に良い、コーヒーも無料で静かでした
