Great welcome, great food, spacious room in traditional japanes style. This was our first Ryokan experience and we loved it!

Brigitte, New Zealand

An oasis from the busy tourist area. The dinner(Japanese) was fantastic. Wish I’d had my camera. Our room had a toilet but not all do. Very authentic in the old part. New part was in ryokan style also. Couldn’t have been a better stay.

Wonderful hospitality from friendly owners. The room was comfortable, and as westeners we appreciated the extra-thick futons. The bathroom facilities are ample - no lineups like in other similar places. The dinner and breakfast were very good.

“A Comfortable And Warm Ryokan In Magome”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Japanese-Style Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
Everything is as expected. There is nothing I did not like.
This is a typical ryokan-style property, where both accommodation and board (dinner and breakfast) are included in one price. The property is well maintained even though it is probably quite old. The staff is friendly and courteous.

The first night we got a very small top at the top Floor. However, staff was very willing and offert a bigger room on request the day after.
Nice location, great food and friendly staff. Excellent service in providing room at top Floor.

One of our favourite places in Japan - Tajimaya was incredible! The dinner was an amazing feast to come home to after a day out walking and the onsen was beautiful. We particularly loved learning to samurai dance with the owner in the evening. Highly recommend!

“Simply the best!”

The location (Magome) is lovely and totally worth a one or two day visit. In Tajimaya, we had actually two rooms: one living and one sleeping room -> a lot of space. To go from one to the other we had to pass through the common corridor (~2m) but that wasn't a problem as this part of the common area was not used by anyone else. The rooms were neither too cold nor too warm for us. There were plenty of (shared) toilet and washing facilities and even two bath tubs, all clean. Towels were provided, although not explicitly stated on booking.com. The served food was amazing (tasty). The staff was very friendly and on our last evening we were invited to learn a traditional song/ dance and to end the day with a glass of sake. Isn't that cool?! We enjoyed it. If you like to dress in yukata (they give you one each day of your stay), you can even buy one as souvenir for a reasonable price. Oh yeah, and the WiFi worked without problems, too.
