Kazuraya

Loved my stay here. The location was great, just a short walk to the main vine bridge in Iya Valley. But it's also secluded enough to really feel the remoteness of Iya Valley. My room was wonderful, very well appointed and clean. The high point was the staff. They were all wonderful and kind, and went above and beyond during my stay. They even drove me to the bus stop in the morning so that I wouldn't have to walk with my suitcase. I would absolutely stay here again.

Room and facilities were spacious and very clean and comfortable, location is stunning, food served is delicious, and the bath house was wonderful and quiet. The staff were also very friendly and helpful.

Wow. What a unique experience to stay in this beautiful inn nestled in the Iya Valley. We were the only 'foreigners' and didn't quite know all the etiquette but the all people there were so friendly and kind. It wasn't clear when we booked, but dinner and breakfast were included in our rate and both were outstanding. Up there with the best Japanese food I've ever had. The onsen baths were great - particularly the outdoor one surrounded by rocks and maple trees. The vine bridge is just a short walk away and I recommend going to see it lit up at night (though you can only cross it during the day). Would love to go back someday.
