Our experience was lovely! We stayed two nights. The staff was so accomodating--it was our first experience at a traditional ryokan, and the staff was very helpful in explaining various customs. They made us feel very at home. The free shuttle to and from the station was very convenient and easy to reserve. The check-in and check-out processes were easy and pleasant as well, with matcha and sweets provided at check-in as an opportunity to rest and look out on the garden. Our room was gorgeous, with a stunning view of the mountains, and sleeping on the tatami was extremely comfortable. We reserved the private onsen both nights of our stay (for a small fee) and that was also a simple and convenient process. Finally, breakfast was amazing--all of the numerous dishes were delicious and beautifully prepared.
Overall, it was a truly magical experience staying at Houshi Ryokan. We left this morning and already want to go back! ありがとうございました!

Traditional Ryokan with Onsen
This is an amazing place, and if you stay as a family where some of you would like to visit an onsen, this hotel provides a great opportunity to stay in a traditional Ryokan with Onsen facilities. You will also get a lift to and from the station if you get in touch with the hotel beforehand. There is a lovely walk to some shrines nearby. The traditional breakfast is also a great experience.

Relaxing stay
We wanted to experience a traditional Japanese room for the night, and we felt like we did! The staff at the hotel were very helpful. Onsen was clean, nice and relaxing.

A one star hotel for a five star price
I was so disappointed in this hotel. The pictures look amazing! But they only apply to the rooms on the first floor. The rest of the hotel is run down and smells bad. I felt like I was paying a five star price for a one star hotel. If you want to say that you stayed in one of the oldest hotels to check off of your bucket list, then stay here. Otherwise I wouldn't recommend it. This was not the Japanese experience I thought I was paying for.

1300 year old Hotel
This 46th generation owned Ryokan has an amazing history & a wonderful onsen! The outdoor bath is serene and blissful. The overall condition of the hotel however is in a bit of disrepair. Worth every penney for the experience - but the hotel is a bit tired. Room however was very good and traditional Japenese breakfast a reare experience.

The 1300 years old hotel
A really amazing hotel that gives you the tradition of Japan. It's been running since 1300 years and own by the same family since it's opening. All the chambers seems to have a view on the inner garden, which is absolutely beautiful and the view of the night sky in the onsen is also great. The only little "bad" thing is that none of the staff speaks english. So be prepared to mimic a lot :)!

Nice hotel with a lot of history
A 15min taxi ride from Awazu station or schedule a pick up with the hotels van, very nice convenience. Hot Springs were awesome would go again just for them

Tired Ryokan
Having read the reviews I was really looking forward to our 2 night stay. Staying at one of the world's oldest hotels with all the tradition - excellent!
However the reality was that the ryokan was in desperate need of an upgrade, the room was enormous but it was tired and had big cracks in the sink, water stains in the bath and just not great.
We didn't book dinner and therefore were not offered dinner on our first night. All the catering facilities were closed (the on site pub never opened whilst we were there). The ryokan had the feeling of a once very popular and grand venue, but had fallen on hard times.
Also despite free wifi being advertised in all rooms, there was none. Only in reception area. Annoying.
Despite all this the staff were friendly and the spa facilities very, very nice.
On checking out despite asking for help, none was given with our bags and despite about 8 staff all bowing and saying good bye, not one of them helped with our luggage.
All in all, I won't be returning nor recommending it.
