Bessho Onsen Tamaya Ryokan

We visited for our wedding anniversary trip.Above all, the hospitality was outstanding. From the moment we arrived, they took care of parking our car, and there were so many thoughtful touches throughout our stay.We were delighted with the commemorative flower arrangement, and the Onsen water was wonderfully silky—I soaked three times. We also used the complimentary voucher to visit the large public bath across the street.The meals were delicious as well, made with locally sourced ingredients. I can’t write it all here, but we truly enjoyed a blissful time.Thank you very much.

It was our first time visiting Bessho Onsen and Tamaya Ryokan. Although it was likely fully booked over Golden Week, the property never felt crowded, and we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. We arrived with high expectations based on the Reviews, and this Accommodation delivered exactly as hoped—we were truly satisfied.Both the quantity and quality of the meals were outstanding, and we thoroughly enjoyed the flavors of spring in Nagano. Even though it’s in a mountainous area, the sashimi was excellent. The meat was also high quality; however, I’m not fond of fatty cuts like sirloin, so it would be helpful if guests could choose the cut. Breakfast was also delicious and thoughtfully prepared. One small disappointment: the solid fuel for the miso soup had already gone out, so if it could be lit after guests are seated, we might be able to enjoy it piping hot.We also appreciated that the Onsen is available even late at night—the water was wonderful. The beer after bathing was fantastic and really helped us unwind. We enjoyed being able to choose from various coffee options and relax with them in our Room. The bedding had good thickness and was very comfortable. The morning newspaper service is rare these days, so we were grateful to enjoy an elegant morning.All staff members were pleasant as well.Done—we will definitely return next time in autumn!
