Ryokans in Ako District

"Overall not a bad stay, i got the open air bath room. Certain fixtures in the room were very worn and could use repairing. The bath on the patio was the highlight but it had a large leak from below causing the water to drain out faster than it could fill it. Breakfast was great and they had tatami tables. Overall not bad for the money but could be better"

"We had an amazing time here, everyone was SO friendly. The onsen was lovely and the rooms had everything we needed. The staff were really lovely and took time to show us the best bits about town, they made sure we saw the fireflies and the mechanical clock, plus great places to eat. Friendly not flashy."

"Beautiful ocean view"

"Really nice hotel. Want to visit again"

"お部屋おまかせ朝食付きで一泊利用しました。 最新の設備ではないけど、清潔で手入れが行き届いていました。スタッフの皆さんは、とても丁寧に対応してくれて好印象でした。 大浴場の温泉は程よい広さで露天風呂もあり、明るく清潔で開放感がありました。 朝食はご飯だけでなくお粥も選べ、おかずは一品ずつの量は少なめでしたが品数多く、見た目・味共に美味しくいただきました。残念だったのはコインランドリーとサウナがなく、脱衣所のアメニティに綿棒がなかった事です。"

"娘もとても気に入りました"

"It was nice to get away from the tourist areas for a time. Might be a challenge for non-English speakers but the staff was super-friendly and the outdoor onsen with a view of the ocean is worth it. Not really near anything but the staff drove us to a restaurant and we took a cab back. We visited Himeji before we arrived but didn't want to stay anyplace there so used a locker and then stayed the night in Ako. It is away from the Shinkansen line but not too far, take a taxi from the station. 2...
