Chikurinin Gunpoen

“Beautiful but disappointing”

The traditional setting and scenery were beautiful, and the location had a peaceful atmosphere. The historic character of the building was appealing, although the condition of the accommodations detracted significantly from the experience. We loved the staff member who served us the multi‑course meals; she was so nice. This ryokan is not just “dated.” The property was poorly maintained and did not meet reasonable expectations for cleanliness. There was visible mold on the glass, accumulated bird droppings on light fixtures, and other signs of neglect. The overall condition of the accommodations was disappointing, especially considering the price and how the property was represented online. When we brought up our concerns with the front desk, they said they would pass the information along to management, and then we never heard back.

“Grandioses Essen mit Retro-Charme”

I had a beautiful room in classic tatami style, it felt like an apartment, even with its own outdoor onsen. The owner ran the shuttle to Yoshino Station, and his wife served grandiose food. The hotel is idyllically located in an old temple garden and absolutely quiet. The house has passed its best years and I was the only guest, which felt a bit oppressive given the size of the property. Outside cherry blossom season, not much happens in town.

“Sehr zu empfehlen! Tolle Menschen im Chikurinin Gunpoen!”

The hospitality from the Chikurinin team was outstanding, welcoming us and taking care of us; the accommodation was beautiful, spotless, and classic Ryokan style; we were treated to local specialties every morning and evening, and the staff could explain everything, with language barriers easily handled via Google Translate; the private onsen was a must‑experience and we’d love to return; the only drawback was the weak Wi‑Fi in our room, barely usable.
