The food was simply amazing, dinner being one of the best meals I’ve ever had, no dish over or under seasoned and exquisitely presented. The service was also very attentive.

Nestled in an idyllic setting in the mountains of Sanjo, surrounded by running brooks, natural landscapes, good onsen baths and no neighbors. Our western style room is modern, spacious and beds are comfortable. Meals are excellent and delicious especially the mountain vegetables, rice prepared with spring water and good selections of sake are offered. Our hostess Yukari san is wonderful, very hospitable and speaks fluent English; she saw all our needs during our stay there were met. When we expressed interests in visiting the Kiyotsu Gorge and the Saifuku-ji temple carvings, she arranged an English speaking guide to take us. We had a terrific experience there. If anyone considered having a restful R&R time in Japan, I would highly recommend a stay at this ryokan. Yes, they can do pickups and drop off at the train station if you don’t have a car.

Rankeisou is a genuine Japanese Inn, a local gem for one unforgettable experience! Everything was perfect for our last night in Japan, from the greeting to the onsen and finishing with a multiple course dinner, my wife and I felt great! Thank you once again to our host that had the patience to sit with us and tell us more about the place and culture. We will definitely visit again.

A perfect Onsen in a lush Forrest next to the Sumon river. The different Onsen with public and private ones are fantastic, all of them with outside bath. The rooms are nicely designed and renovated with balcony and all needed amenities. The food (Kaiseki) is delicious, the host is very helpful (in English if required).

This Ryokan is so beautiful and peaceful. You have to drive a bit from the city center. However, it was well worth it. When we got to our accommodation, the staff was already expecting us, she knew where we came from , and her English was really good. She sat us down for our check-in process. It felt like we paid a million dollars for this kind of customer service. She took us through our check-in process, dinner time, booked our private onsen, told us a bit about the Ryokan, booked breakfast time, and then she took us right up to our room. Our room was a riverside view, which was so amazing. Our food for dinner and breakfast was the best we had compared to other hotels around the world we've tried so far. This was all done in our own private dining room. Our private onsen also had a great view. I can not say enough good things about this place. We will come back here again when possible.

Excellent environment right next to nature with views of the river and forest. Ms Yukari was extremely hospitable and took great care of us. The other staff were also kind and friendly. The room was clean and had a lot of character.(Japanese style room) Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and consisted of fresh local ingredients. The private bath was comfortable and ideal for couples or group of friends and free to reserve.

Beautiful building in a beautiful location, extremely nice and helpful staff, and the food was excellent, too. The onsen were smaller than they had looked in the pictures, but it was a bliss to be in the outdoor onsen, surrounded by snow.
