Hotels in Ikeda

• Masumi Sou
  "Nice small Japanese hotel run by friendly owners"
  "I actually stayed here for three weeks in _2007_ (the web site, maybe for good reasons, does not allow old reviews), working in Ikeda. The owners did not speak any English, but they were friendly to me, and tried to accommodate my wishes (translated by my Japanese colleague) in a very friendly way. ..."It is a small traditional hotel, run by the owners (as far as I understand) with very little, if any, staff.

The setting on a mountainside is gorgeous, and the baths are both inside and outside. The hotel's restaurant, too, is classic Japanese, specializing in kaiseki (the traditional multi-course feast of delicacies.) Absolutely not to be missed is the buffet breakfast, with dozens and dozens of amazing Japanese foods to try. While the hotel has mostly Western-style rooms, if you can possibly stretch for it, you should try one of the traditional Japanese tatami rooms... " More >
