Seikiro Ryokan Historical Museum Hotel

Rooms are mostly on the second level. Not so appropriate for those who have problem climbing.

It was a unique property. All staff were exceptionally kind and friendly.

I thought was good hotel.but it was bit a dirty at some point.No ones want to stay there. I paid 20$ for the breakfast.it was wasted money.It’s not worth it as a price.never gonna go again

Unique experience in a well kept Ryokan. We enjoyed cycling around the town and checking out Japanese architecture. The breakfasts and dinner at the ryokan were exceptional traditional meals well worth the reasonable cost. Enjoyed the Japanese style bathing and peaceful environment

It’s got Long history. First thing that struck us was hmm .. the lack of guests. The staff that checked us in also served us dinner and breakfast. Luggage had to be lifted and carried not rolled on the tatami.

This was an amazing stay! Everyone should go! Everything exceeded all of my expectations. Get the breakfast, because it is an experience. Beautiful and worth every penny.

The location is very good. Staff are very nice. Comfortable room and tasty breakfast.

Good experience on traditional japanese hotel. The room is spacious for 2 pax. No shower room. Need to experience Japanese public bath style at 1st storey. There is a shopping complex next to it.

Miyazu is a small quiet town. There is not much around when you get off the train station apart from walking to your hotel. Took us about 15 minutes to find the hotel. Surprisingly, there's a shopping centre close by, and bus stops to get to Amanohashidate. Our room is very spacious with sitting areas, bath and toilet, with aircon. The wooden bathtub is like an antique exhibit of this historic building. We just used the public baths. Within 2 minutes walk from the hotel is the seaside park looking across to the Amanohashidate sandbar. The views on the sea are stunning. Hotel staff are friendly and the breakfast is superb. Even though there was not much to do at night in this small town, we enjoyed our stay very much.

Very pleasant stay in this historical ryokan- a bit old but well kept. Dry pleasant family who tries to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

This is a very traditional Ryokan that operates as a local museum during the day. The rooms are quite spacious, and ours overlooked a beautiful and serene garden. Staff was very friendly and helpful when it came to information on local sights and how to get to them. Bicycles can be rented and are really a nice way to see the area. We biked to Amanohashidate rather than take the available train or bus. My bicycle was in need of some TLC - but rentals from other services seemed to be in the same condition. Breakfast is very traditional Japanese style and served in a large room on the third floor. As a Westerner I am not used to sitting cross legged on the floor in my yukata and a chair was offered to me. I toughed it out. Location is quite nice - there are very few places to eat in the immediate area, but quite a few nice places in Amanohashidate - which is about 2km away. The lobby is filled with books and brochures - many in English - which can provide a sense of history for visitors. I was quite pleased with my stay.

This was a great place to stay in the area......from the traditional ryokan days. The rooms and bath was clean however there could be renovations or deep cleaning some areas that would make coming back easier! We stayed for three days and hope that it will remain open and serving guests for many years to come. Internet could be stronger and available in the rooms. The service, the atmosphere, and the way that ryokan allows a visitor to touch Japan.....was lovely.

Courteous staff, free shuttle transportation provided was very helpful with heavy luggages.

It was like being taken back in time. This ryokan is beautiful and very spacious. Very friendly staff. Beautiful hot onsen. I wish we had taken the option of breakfast and dinner

It took me a while to consider how to write this  in order to shed some objective light on how this ryokan is poorly run and lack of upkeep. My views are mostly negative and different from those below (relied on which I had unfortunately booked a room for one night at ¥13000 without any meals and was in deep regret):- - the ladies at the reception were effcient in checking me in. - no one offered to bring my luggage to my room. Having waited for a while, I ended up carrying it myself up the two flights of stairs which are narow and precarious. - the carpets in the hallway were full of water stain. Being a culturally preserved structure isn't an excuse for leaving your property in a dilapidated state. Pls live up to your name and reputation! - the room itself was spacious and clean though.Yet the toilet was smelly probably due to the old drainage system. - the public bath was disastrous-dirty and apparently no one was there to do the regular cleaning throughout the evening. - when I checked out at 07:30 the following morning to go to Ine, I again had to carry the suitcase back down. The other reviews mentioned shuttle service between the train station was just a myth in my case. Although a couple was dropped off right right front, neither the lady nor the driver offered to give me a ride when I told them that I was headed for Miyazu station. This was by far my worst experience in staying at a Japanese ryokan.

Firstly, please read the reviews that other guests have posted about this Hotel ; the good and not so good comments are accurate. Secondly, I regret not booking a two night stay. "Experience is everything" - how could you come to Japan and miss out on a Ryokan stopover..??

I travel to Miyazu for sightseeing (Amanohashidate, Ine no Funaya and Kyougamisaki). You can either walk to the Ryokan (about 15 minutes from the Miyazu Train Station) or go by bus (Miyazu Train station to Michinoeki). The bus stop is close to the Ryokan. Also, there is a supermarket nearby. You can get most of the supply in there. The Male stuff of the ryokan is friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, he gave me some useful information about sightseeing route and traffic . The room is a bit old and wearing (but it is acceptable, since the ryokan is an very old building) Overall it is quite comfortable.

Family of four enjoyed the convent location of the historical location. Close to multiple local sightseeing destinations. traditional japanese style meals. spacious rooms.

This is an incredible place to stay if you wish to immerse yourself with traditional Japanese culture. Everything from the traditional room to the bath house is representative of Japan at its very best. Besides the rice pillow which took some getting used to this hotel was an absolute golden find. Absolutely stay here and visit this beautiful town.

We stayed 1 night at Seikiro. We choose this hotel as we can't get a room in the Amanohashidate area at a reasonable price. The hotel came and pick us up from the train station so we don't have to find our way to the hotel with our luggage. We got a room on the ground floor with a view outlook to the garden which was great. However, I guess the tradeoff of being on the ground floor is we also have spiders and ants in our room which was not that pleasant especially we were sleeping on tatami. The bathroom and shower was really dated but generally clean. The breakfast was great. We thought there were wifi in the room but it was actually only available in the lobby. We planned to take the ferry to Amanohashidate the next day. When we checked out, we were told it was only 3 minutes left to the departure time of the ferry and the next ferry would be 1.5 hours after. The staff immediately helped us with our luggage and drove us to the ferry terminal right away. We managed to get on the ferry last minute and the hotel staff also talked to the staff at the ferry terminal to make sure we will be taken care of. We really appreciate his effort and service in this regard.
