Amazingly peaceful family run place
We love this little place in the mountains in Yoshino - the family / the lady in charge is absolutely wonderful and super hard working. It’s our second stay at this lovely inn and we will come back. Ps please note that check in is strictly at 3pm and if you want their lovely dinner you have to pre book. Highly recommended!

Rustic log cabin style Ryokan
Great experience after a communication issue at the beginning. It is worth noting that in low season most restaurants in Yoshino will be closed or wil close early, so plan to eat at your Ryokan for all breakfast & dinner meals. The meals prepared at Ryokan Kato were excellent, a real experience in local cuisine. Having breakfast across that road in their seperate restaurant with excellent views across the valley started the day nicely. We were fortunate to have the hot baths to ourselves which were great after a long day of dragging our kids up the hills of Yoshino. We loved the sitting/reading area with the swing hanging from the ceiling and the traditional lamps, very relaxing. Yoshino is worth the extra train rides and Kato was perfect for us. Thank you.

Fantastic location, very comfortable stay.
This hotel was extremely comfortable and good value. The location was fantastic for us, as we arrived and left Hiroshima by train and did 2 day trips using the train, so being right next to the station was amazingly convenient. Lots of shops nearby too. Very comfortable room, not bad size for Japan, and with every amenity you could ask for...toothbrushes, hairdryer, TV, Wi-Fi, kettle, fridge. Really good. Would love to go back sometime.

Beautiful Peaceful Japan Experience
This is a traditional Japanese ryokan. If you want a true Japanese experience this is the place. The owner seems to predict your every need ahead of time. The indoor and outdoor mineral baths are beautiful and healing. The restaurant serves a five star traditional Japanese dinner that is one of the finest and most beautifully served meals I have ever had. It is located in a rather remote area in the mountains, accessible by train, and is on a world heritage pilgrimage route, filled with temples and shrines at every turn in the woods of trees and bamboo. This is truly a magical place.
