Historical Ryokan Hostel K's House Ito Onsen

10/10. 5 stars. If reviews could go to 11 this would be it. Such a cool experience to stay at K’s house. Very good staff and the building has everything you could possibly want or need. Would love to come back again. Hopefully soon!

The staff is very welcoming and provides good recommendations for local food spots and activities around the area

C’était un endroit exceptionnel à tous points de vue. Le personnel chaleureux, un ryokan magnifique et bien entretenu, plein d'espaces communs donnant sur la rivière, le onsen. Tout était juste parfait!

Beautiful old Japanese style hotel. Aromatic wood everywhere. Great onsen (indoor hot spring mineral bath) experience. Spotlessly clean. You will sleep on mats on the floor but they are quite comfortable.

The inn's historic nature was very interesting, the view from our window out onto the river was beautiful, the staff were very helpful and friendly and the onsen was quite good. The room was of course older, but relatively clean and had beautiful workmanship in the shoji doors and kumiko as well as the wood trim and ceiling. It definitely is more of a budget accommodation but it didn't feel that way because of the vibe of the entire inn with its spacious common areas. Sleeping on the tatami in futons together with the entire family reminded my mother of her summer holiday's spent at her grandmother's house in rural Japan. We would highly recommend this accommodation for the price!

The property is showing its age.

One of the best places I've stayed with. Staff are very friendly, comfy bed and onsen is so amazing.

Good staff, good service, recommended

Absolutely wonderful stay. Homely feel, very clean and well equipped rooms. Fantastic staff. Will definitely stay again

Very unique experience. Room is enough for three persons, not having individual bathroom means you have every chance to enjoy hot spring. Would stay again

An excellent old Japanese ryokan hotel. They have kept the Japanese traditional lifestyle and culture exceptionally very well.

Spacious and cozy guest room with good onsen.

Comfortable for a family group of 7. The onsen was very nice and clean and hot. The shared facilities have everything you need. As far as hostels go it's next level.

The front desk was very welcoming. Spotless onsen. Charming environment! Good coffee in the kitchen. The lounge areas downstairs were welcoming and overlooked the river. Good location too.

Beautiful stay Great service from the staff

It was very nice hostel and spring hot spa . I spent great time with my kids and parents

We stayed here 11 years ago when our kids were little and loved every bit of our stay, this time we booked even more nights and still the same, relaxing, wonderful people. Love the onsen! The river view. There used to be large koi fish in the river that you can see right from the rooms, now they are further up the stream. The place is well kept, very clean. It rained for 2 days when we were visiting, I love that they had shoe dryer available. I also left my shoes on the shoe shelves and they were able to locate it and deliver to me in Tokyo the next day. I’m so grateful. We will definitely stay there again next time we visit Japan.

Helpful, friendly and informative staff. Fully appreciate the traditional architecture and warm atmosphere of a historical building. The well equipped public kitchen provides guests with the flexibility of preparing their own meals. Reminds me of dormitory experience back in University good old days. Room is large and comfortable. The only complaint is an additional charge for the outdoor onsen. One final note is guests of upper floors are required to carry their own luggage climbing up a steep wooden staircase to their rooms

Beautiful historical ryokan provides a unique and comfortable stay to experience Japanese culture at its finest. Stayed in a private room with a family of four and very much enjoyed the shared onsen, kitchen, and living areas. Very quiet and respectful guests.

Great stay
