Really good Culinary Experience

“During my stay at Ohanabo, I opted for both the kaiseki dinner and the traditional Japanese breakfast, and both meals were absolutely extraordinary. The kaiseki was served in my room, with each course being explained, and every dish was a delight to taste. The breakfast was impressively elaborate, showcasing the care and detail put into each preparation. I couldn't get enough of the generous offerings!” view full review

Spacious & Traditional

“I was kinda surprised by the spaciousness of my room. It was almost like an apartment, with plenty of room to relax. The tatami flooring and futon bedding provided a distinctly Japanese experience. The room was beautifully decorated in a traditional style, creating the perfect ambiance for my stay. Plus, being able to control the air conditioning temperature added to my comfort.” view full review

Relaxing Onsen Experience

“The onsen in Ohanabo was a highlight of my stay. Although it was a smaller space, it was impeccably clean and well-maintained. I loved soaking in the hot water, feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. It was an authentic experience that deepened my appreciation for Japanese culture.” view full review

Comfortable Sleep in Authentic Style

“I truly enjoyed the comfort of the traditional futon bed during my stay. The bedding was set up beautifully beforehand, and the plushness exceeded my expectations. It offered a serene escape, enveloping me in comfort after a long day of exploration. The tranquility of the room allowed for restful nights, which enhanced my overall experience.” view full review
