Ryoso Tsuyukusa

“Nice stay!”

Wonderful stay in ryoso tsuyukusa, an incredible experience in a genuine japan ryokan. It seemed like a flashback in ancient times. The host is very kind, the breakfast is special and the outdoor bath beautiful! Highly recommended

“Impressive”

Hida is one of the best scenic beautiy places in Japan, "Japan Alps" mountains nearby. Tsuyukusa is convenient for climing, hiking and just walking such montains including Hotaka and Kamikochi.

Hida is one of the best scenic beautiy places in Japan, "Japan Alps" mountains nearby. Tsuyukusa is convenient for climing, hiking and just walking such montains including Hotaka and Kamikochi. You should not expect 5-star accomodation and facilities from Tsuyukusa and instead you may really enjoy warm hospitality, local foods and atmosphire. Further, you do not want to miss hot springs with 3 good size bath rooms. Language barrier would override such golden opportunity. Grand-pa is a professional photographer.

“Got what we paid for”

We enjoyed our stay here for a night. This onsen ryokan is run by an old couple, they don't speak English. We still use simple English + body language to communicate. The location is close to bus terminal, ~ 5 mins walk. The ryokan has scenic view (mountain). The room is spacious and clean.… more

We enjoyed our stay here for a night. This onsen ryokan is run by an old couple, they don't speak English. We still use simple English + body language to communicate. The location is close to bus terminal, ~ 5 mins walk. The ryokan has scenic view (mountain). The room is spacious and clean. We had to prepare our futons at night. Bathrooms and wash basins are shared and they are clean too! The indoor and outdoor onsens can be privately used. We tried both and enjoyed! There is no shower room so you need to use onsen room. Free WiFi in the property. We paid what we got.

“Not a bad place to stay. ”

I stayed at this ryokan for two nights in September. Strangely I had to change my room for the second night (new futon and everything) which seemed like it was just making more work for everyone.

I stayed at this ryokan for two nights in September. Strangely I had to change my room for the second night (new futon and everything) which seemed like it was just making more work for everyone. I wasn't told the reason why i needed to change. The place has 3 onsen baths. I only managed to get the rust coloured one because the outdoor one was always occupied! It does make you come out orange so you will have to shower twice! Shared toilets, sinks and onsen. Only thing I could say was lacking with hygiene was that there was no hand soap in the toilets! And I couldn't find any towels, luckily I had brought one of my own. As someone who has been living in Japan and sleeping on a futon every night I can say that the one they had here was a lot more comfortable that the one I use! If you are not used to a futon though it can be a little difficult to sleep at first. You have to make up your futon yourself. Rooms were a bit chilly for September and I wished there was an extra blanket or some heating. Also rooms are shared and mixed. The first night there were only two of us in the room. One male and one female separated by a wooden screen. The second night there were 6 people. But only 3 wooden screens so a little closer to strangers than I would have liked. Especially when they snore! Apart from a pool table in a separate building there wasn't really any communal area to sit. When I got back to the ryokan on the second night at 6pm some people were already sleeping so I couldn't read in the room. As there isn't much to do in the town, the baths were occupied and I had already eaten I ended up just going to bed early. The ryokan is quite far from the city and was a little difficult to find given the map directions. It is close to the bus station if you need that. I drove and there was adequate parking at the front. Staff are quite efficient. They don't speak any English but there are some "google translate" signs dotted around with instructions to take off your shoes and how to use the onsen. So, in conclusion, a reasonable stay but maybe cost a little more than its value.
