The room was fantastic, and the hot springs were a highlight, especially since it was my mom's first time at a traditional Japanese bathhouse. The dinner and breakfast buffets had just about everything you could imagine, with a wide variety of cuisines, and the lobby snacks and drinks were a nice touch. The staff were used to working with international guests.
Getting there was harder than expected. Transportation from the train station was difficult, and there wasn't a clear pickup option. There's also no way to reach the Nakasendo trail without a car, so I'd recommend driving instead of relying on a taxi or shuttle. Bring a translation app to make communication easier.

I have extensive experience of hotels and ryokan all over Japan. I’m sorry to that value for money was a very significant issue.
Even with my “Genius” discount we felt we paid a five star plus price for a 3 to 3.5 star experience

We arrived at TAOYA Kisoji with absolutely no expectations, but the hotel turned out to be one of the most pleasant surprises of our trip to Japan.
The dinner was excellent, with an impressive variety of dishes and plenty of choices to suit different tastes. The all-inclusive concept was a real bonus, with drinks, including alcoholic beverages, included in the price. Everything felt generous and well organised.
The onsens were another highlight. Both the indoor and outdoor baths were wonderful, and we genuinely looked forward to returning to them after a day of exploring the area. They were relaxing, comfortable, and a real pleasure to use.
The hotel itself is a little dated, but unlike some older properties, it is clearly very well maintained. Everything is exceptionally clean, tidy, and carefully looked after. You can feel the attention to detail throughout the property.
The staff were attentive, polite, and welcoming. Very few spoke English, but this never became a serious issue, as everyone made an effort to be helpful.
Overall, TAOYA Kisoji exceeded our expectations in almost every way. It offers a genuinely enjoyable experience and outstanding value for money.
