Hagi Yado no Tomoe is an elegant traditional inn. While the outside is pleasant and clean, once inside you will enter a rare and elegant world. The facilities are immaculate and it is clear every decision is made with exceptional taste. The staff are polite, extremely kind and respectful of privacy. The rooms are gorgeous, and the multiple course Kaiseki dinners are delicious and incredibly beautiful. They also have a lovely selection of local pottery on display for sale. Today,upon departure, I did their sake brewery tour. The guide and staff driving couldn’t have been nicer, and the sake master was so down to earth and kind. I also enjoyed a sake tasting and purchased a small bottle to take home. After the tour they recommended a lovely place for lunch, making sure I knew where to catch my but to return to Yamaguchi City. While in Hagi I particularly enjoyed my visit to Toukouji Temple and the surrounding area. My stay at Hagi Yado no Tomoe was delightful in every way. I hope to return.

This place was a treasure for us as we thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at this hotel. The hotel is excellent, the food (breakfast and dinner) were delicious and all of the staff were wonderful to us

Hagi No Yado Tomoe is an elegant ryokan that is conveniently located within walking distance of the Higashi-Hagi station. The property is beautifully landscaped with rock gardens and mature trees. Every every meal, breakfast and Kaiseki, was prepared and served with exceptional attention to detail. Staff members provided advice and rides to help with sightseeing. The onsens are public but since it was low season, there were very few guests so the experience was a good as a private onsen. One of the best inn stays in Japan over all and highly recommend as a shining example of Japanese hospitality.
