Our stay at the Kamesei Ryokan with host Tyler-San was a superb highlight of our 2 week trip in Japan. We loved the traditional inn & room, the hot onsen baths, the amazing dinner they cooked, and the hospitality of Tyler during our stay. Tyler even picked us up and dropped us off at the train station. We were able to make a day trip to see the snow monkeys as well. Having the ability to experience such a traditional experience was only possible with Tyler’s perfect English and kindness. My son who is learning Japanese just loved it, as did the whole family (2 adults, 2 kids age 15 & 13). I would highly recommend and hope to visit again!

Easy to get to, great service, friendly staff, and a great onsen to soak in. Lots to do in the immediate area, including tons of restaurants. The hosts are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

Lovely family run Ryokan with Onsen
What a great find! A lovely family run Ryokan with an Onsen, traditional garden and Japanese cuisine. We felt right at home having a relaxing few days here in Onsen town. Its a quiet retreat type of place, we were there in early January and so it was chilly outside and the hot baths made for a great way to spend the day.

Lovely and Charming Onsen Hotel, Great Hosts
Tyler and Mari are excellent hosts. We took a bike tour with Tyler and absolutely loved it. We upgraded our room to one of the multi-room suites with private toilet. The place is old, wood construction, and in a much older and more traditional Japanese style. It got cold at night in the hallways but the provided yukatas were plenty warm. We ordered the breakfast and dinner combination and liked it so much we ended up eating breakfast here again our second morning. If you reserve a room for 2+ nights you get usage of the private onsen for free, otherwise it costs to make a reservation. It should be noted that the only showers, to the best of my knowledge, are with the onsen. So you should be comfortable with a public (sex separated) shower. There is no privacy. We would definitely stay again and for more time to sample more of the local specialties.

Nice hotel with excellent hospitality
I read the story of Tyler & Mari saving the family 100 yrs old Ryokan & found it very touching. It’s the 1st time that a host/management ‘Tyler’ would contacted me after the booking. They made me feel very welcomed from the start till the end. The place is so nice & spacious. The hospitality is wonderful. The hot pools are great (men side is so much nicer than women side). I’d definitely go again.

Perfect Way to Experience Japan
My time at Kamesei Ryokan was my best in Japan. Nothing can compare to the relaxing atmosphere of not only the inn but the town as well. Tyler was great at explaining the ins and outs of ryokan life as well as giving recommendations for what to do and where to eat in town. Although my Japanese would have been able to get me through if needed, Tyler's native English made it all so much easier. The food was also incredible. I had both breakfast and dinner with them and was impressed. There were many items served which I would have never tried had it not been for my stay at Kamesei and I am glad that I did. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience. ありがとうございました

Classic style onsen inn in Togura
First up, this is not a 5* hotel, but it does not pretend to be. It is a 100 year old onsen ryokan run by an irrepressible American (Tyler) and his lovely wife (Mari). My latest visit was a short break from Tokyo and Mari was her usual cheerful self despite our 10 p.m. arrival (yes, we were late). While we did not dine at the ryokan this time, the food options are good, and one of the best things about this area (Kamiyamda onsen) is the quality and sulfur content of the water. Two days of relaxation passed too quickly, but fortunately I get to visit often.

Wonderful, comfy, and delicious experience
It was amazing. We didn't want to leave. It was our first ryokan experience and I wish we'd tried it before! The dinner was exquisite, the staff was very welcoming, and the service was awesome. The onsens were both very enjoyable, too! (Didn't have time to try the private bath.)
