Ito Otonashi Shrine Hotels

"Yokikan was great. If you're uncertain about staying at a traditional Japanese Onsen hotel, this place is for you. We were given very good advice about what to do or not do, how to use an Onsen etc . If you're unsure about being naked with strangers, we opted for the room with a private onsen. The private onsen was great but it's not the same as a public one. I recommend trying the public one, open air, at least once during your stay. "

"Like many onsen resorts, this is intended for you to stay within the facilities. Many of the neighboring restaurants either don’t take children, or are so small that it’s difficult to accommodate them. With that in mind, the biggest issue is the on-site restaurant. It was serving pre-reserved tables only (no walk-ins) but because we booked on Expedia we had no idea that not booking a meal in advance would limit us. The staff made no indication of how to make a reservation for future days nor did the front desk mention anything at check-in. If there were ample dining options around this would be a non-issue. What makes up for this poor restaurant experience is the amazing in-suite / indoor private bath. Very convenient and wonderful experience!"

"Boutique hotel, attentive service and thoughtful amenities. Would definitely check out other Hoshino Kai properties in the future."

"My family enjoyed a very peaceful stay at this classic Japanese style home. We appreciated all of the old world details yet modern conveniences. "

"Not much to do near the property but the spa is amazing!"

"Very clean, nice Japanese room. Morning buffet is organized and variety of foods ate served. "
