Let me start with the location. Rekan is very conveniently situated — right near Takachiho Shrine, close to the bus station, and just a short walk from a local market with souvenirs and regional products. There are also cafés and restaurants nearby. It’s not far from Takachiho Gorge, and overall, there’s always somewhere nice to walk and explore. The hotel has its own parking as well. The room was excellent — clean, spacious, fully equipped, with a generous selection of complimentary snacks and drinks. There’s a private onsen and a small garden that you can enjoy. Honestly, I didn’t even want to leave my room. The staff were extremely polite and friendly. Always ready to help — they personally advised me on the best places to book in the city and recommended where to go. They were genuinely interested in my trip and eager to assist. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. I overate every time. The staff kindly explained and presented everything with such care that I even felt a bit awkward from their overwhelming politeness. It’s a wonderful place, and I’d love to return again.

Absolutely loved the efficient and personalized check in process. They were already expecting us with a warm welcome and greetings by our name. Luggage was pick up from our car and delivered directly to our room. Check in was done in our room, making it feel more valuable and enjoyable after a long drive. Room was impeccably clean, well-maintained and comfortable bedding. Thoughtful amenities with excellent taste (eg. Fabric freshener, Dyson hairdryer, good minibar selection, high-end toiletries). Compliments to Saida-san who was attached to us throughout our stay. She’s friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we feel welcomed and supported throughout our stay. It was truly an amazing experience.

The property is, of course, fabulous and the villa very cosy and comfortable! But the highlight was the extremely attentive hospitality that strove to anticipate and meet guests’ needs, e.g., when we returned after a day out, the attendant handed the room keys to us the moment we got out of the car, so that we wouldn’t have to walk to the reception building to retrieve them. We felt very honoured that the landlady herself greeted us on the first evening and saw us off on our last day with a gift of Shinsen green tea. Thank you for a memorable stay, Takachiho Ryokan Shinsen!

I appreciated the staff offering me help. They kept my luggage before and after my time, so I could explore the town well. I arrived by bus + foot, and they gave me a ride to the bus station on my return. They dressed me in Yukata(summer kimono) and were ready to chauffeur me to an outdoor evening show, but I declined and enjoyed my bath in my backyard. Whereas usual Ryokan serves food in your room, this place has two food serving areas, and they walked me to different rooms for dinner and breakfast. I liked the nice garden views from two different locations.

Everything!!! Staying here is an experience in itself and one I would do again without hesitation. From the moment we drove up the driveway, the customer service was exceptional, one I've certainly never had in accommodation. The room is beautiful, and your own private onsen pool is heaven. Then you have the absolutely delicious dinner and breakfast. We loved every minute of our stay here and would recommend anyone going to Takachiho to do the same, a unique and luxurious experience you'll never forget.
