The owner is very friendly and made us felt very welcome. The place has been renovated and is clean and comfortable. The food is very good and what you can expect of a good ryokan. Onsen is very comforting. As the place is small, there is no need to fight for place in onsen.
Kadojin features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Tenkawa. The property has garden and inner courtyard views.

A traditional onsen ryokan in a quaint mountain village. Our room was lovely and much larger than expected. The kotatsu was a great addition and we used it often. We had a room with a private bath, definitely worth the extra cost. The food was the best meal I had the entire trip, I was so full by the end I could barely get back to my room. The staff were so kind and one person even spoke excellent English. My only regret was that we didn’t stay longer
Situated in Tenkawa, Atarashiya Ryokan provides accommodation with seating area.

Dorogawa is a great place to visit. I thought the ryokan was lovely and onsen baths relaxing. The staff were all nice and helpful. Breakfast was also enjoyable with a filling Japanese style breakfast.

Excellent little spot! Wonderful host, he speaks some English and will tell you all about the area. We stayed in the Japanese-style room, the futons were very comfortable and warm. As it is a gueshouse, there are shared spaces for guests to use - a fully equipped kitchen, loungeroom, a simple bathroom and 2 toilets. Free wifi throughout. Please be considerate of other guests and neighbouring houses regarding noise, especially at night. About a 12 min walk to Yoshinojingu Station (1 stop away from Yoshino Station), there is a convenience store about 8 min walk away, and there is an awesome chinese restaurant near Yoshinojingu Station. Highly recommend this place!

Everything about our stay was just perfect. From being picked up at the train station, delicious homemade meals with records playing in the background, a beautifully appointed home, friendly and helpful hosts, riding through the countryside on electric bikes and being driven to & picked up from Koyasan. Such a special experience.

The area was beutiful with some lovely walks. Great for a relaxing time. The host realy went above and beyond. I don't think there is a walkable shop but the hotel is also a restaurant.

We have been visiting Japan for 3 weeks while staying at a wide variety of hotels, ryokan and airBnB, but this experience was by far the most amazing one. It is hard to describe the feeling of staying at this place filled with history, lost in the middle of the mountain. The owner was extra nice, she was the one to sit outside for 1 hour to boil the water of the bath for us to enjoy, and in the morning she offered us some very tasty juice !
Wandering in the school at night is an incredible experience, looking at the old photos of the children and the microscopes and the blackboards… The ping-pong table, huge manga library and barbecue will keep you up until late in the night ! So many things to do while enjoying the feeling of the place ! If you want to make a barbecue though, please make sure to bring you own firelighter or it might prove challenging !
The futon were confortable, and the kotetsu was so nice ! It's hard to encounter a location that have one so if you want the full Japanese experience go for it ! Cold drinks were available for a fee which was very pleasant.
We honestly wish we could have stayed more, and if we go back to Japan, we definitely will go the extra mile to come back here !
Also, promise, no ghosts ! Just a black cat roaming around x) Thanks again to the owner for everything, I hope we can meet again :)

The feeling of staying in a old genuine Japanese house. They put a blanket on the table which reaches the floor, and there is a heater under the table. Great way to keep warm while sitting at the table. in the main house, the bedroom is on the first floor and the bathroom on the main floor, which means navigating steep stairs if you need to get up in the middle of the night.

Dorogawa is a charming little town in the Tenkawa region which has plenty to offer visitors: astonishing walks up the waterfalls in the Mitrai Valley; the Benzaiten shrine and local coffee house in Tenkawa village; Ryusenji Temple, caves and Mt Omine directly accessible by foot from Dorogawa. A very different experience to city hopping in Japan and worth the effort to get there!
