I would rate Funaya an 11 if I could. I have stayed in some nice onsen ryokans before but this place is next level in every aspect. Everything about my stay here made me say "wow". The visual aesthetic and atmosphere of the building is super charming, a bit dated some might say but to me it just spoke to the long history of the place. The staff are friendly, helpful, and the service was impeccable. I found that their manner was a little more human than other high end ryokans I've stayed at where the staff can be a bit robotic sticking to their script all the time. Our room was massive, literally the biggest ryokan room I've ever seen. 12 tatami mats for the main room, another 8 off to the side in another room - plus the sitting alcove by the window, meditation/writing room, not to mention the bathroom with double sink, separate adjoining washroom with wooden Japanese bathtub, a separate toilet, and a substantial hallway linking it all up. Oh, that was just the "standard Japanese style room" too. We also had a nice little balcony with a view of the garden and the castle in the distance. The garden is a real highlight, beautiful, tranquil, there's even a foot bath. I really wish we'd been able to spend more time in it but it rained the day we were there. Meals were fantastic. Set kaiseki for dinner, which I don't normally like, but my partner and I just swapped things we didn't like and we were able to really enjoy it. Breakfast we had the choice of western or Japanese style - we had one of each and both were great. Nice not to have to deal with cold food at the buffet for a change. The actual baths are top notch, probably equal best I've used. Lots of space to wash, a couple of separate baths for soaking, and outdoor baths as well to cool off on the night air. Water temperature was perfect. We were able to leave our car with them for a bit after checking out to go for one last wander in Dogo.

House was in a good location close to restaurants and supermarkets. About a 7 minute walk to train station. Everything was lovely and clean and beds were comfortable. It was well equipped. Communication was very good with host and instructions for gaining key access were easy to follow.

This was the biggest house we had found to rent on our trip so far, it has plenty of rooms and beds for group travel. Everything was modern, with plenty of toilets and showering facilities. The supermarket is super convenient and the waterfront view was amazing. Our only regret was we didn't stay longer!

The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The hotel is very clean and the area very pleasant.

The staff was amazing, the rooms were perfect Slept comfortably

Yamatoya Besso was one time life experience. The Onsen and the Dinner was authentic, classic Japan style prepared and served with great care and passion.

Highly recommended! Very nice hosts, a great breakfast in a lovely location.

This small hotel by the beach was fantastic ! The hosts are extremely nice, and accommodating. The overall hotel is charming, the onsen very beautiful, and the highlight of our stay was the kaiseki diner ! Be careful though: the futon and the western beds are a bit hard.
