Nisshokan Bettei Koyotei

The ultimate in traditional Japanese accommodations! Breathtaking cant describe the room or view, arguably the best in Nagasaki! Worth every penny and then some! Highly recommend.

I loved the traditional feeling, I loved the atmosphere and ambience. Food was great staff were great and friendly. View was breathtaking and even better than any photo could capture

It was a little far from most public transport being on the mountain, so it's advised to have a car. If you're expecting 5 star hotel cleanliness and service you might be disappointed but the hotel does really assume you understand that it's a Ryokan first and not a hotel first.

Such an incredible view of Nagasaki from the rooms. Lovely hotel with kind staff and great onsens as well! Loved staying here, definitely a highlight of our trip and a view I won't soon forget. Location is on top of a hill in the middle of the city, which seems far from the top, but we never took a taxi ride there or back that was longer than 10-12 minutes. Very nice. Walking down the hotel to the tram is fun to do at least once too, weather permitting. :)

All element to experience the Japanese Ryokan experience are there.The room are in the traditional style, with typical decoration and ̀with a great view on Nagasaki.There is access to 2 baths, with indoor and outdoor bath with view on the city.The food was excellent, well presented and served.The personal was also perfect, always smiling and helpful.Wonderful experience for me.

Beautiful room! Beautiful view. Staff were helpful.

No free water. Couldn’t order dinner. Didn’t realize breakfast was Japanese only.

Everything. The apartment sized family rooms and incredible silent view was astonishing. The baths were great, staff incredibly welcoming to foreigners and eager to make sure we understood everything and maximized our enjoyment.

The breakfast is personalized to you according to whether it is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. day you stay there. The views are great. The snacks provided are also nice; I bought some home to give my friends. There is a small bath but you can also use the bigger bath in their sister hotel, Baishokaku.

The drive up to the hotel is harrowing and steep, which is also the case for 70% of urban Nagasaki localities. It is tricky to adjust the temperature of indoor heating here.

beautiful view of Nagasaki over looking the city from a high perch.

traditional futon beds are less comfortable than western beds.

This a favourite of ours. The staff are exceptional and the view is the most amazing we have seen in Japan. If you are looking for a great Ryokan experience in Japan then you can’t go past this little gem.

The rooms were quite hot at night but we were provided with fans to cool down as soon as we mentioned it. Not the hotel’s fault as the autumn has been unseasonably hot this year.

The staff and guests were mostly all japanese, howevery, everyone who interacted with us was more then lovely and kind to us. Also the view is the best ull ever have in a hotel. Our room was stunning and gorgeous. We would stay here again whenever we visit the amazing Nagasaki again.

Absolutely nothing to complain 12/10 points!

Staff was patient and very accommodative. Traditional japanese breakfast was beautiful! Free shuttle was convenient and not far from nagasaki station. Onsen was clean and tidy. Very nice to have frozen Popsicles on the way out of the onsen. Rooms well appointed and tatami was surprisingly comfortable.

Beautiful setting and design. Super friendly staff. Authentic Japanese breakfast included. We don’t eat meat and they made sure there were plenty of fish and vegetable dishes every morning.

Lovely Japanese style hotel with excellent and friendly staff. Excellent onsen. Amazing views across Nagasaki. Shuttle bus from station made location more practical.

Didn't realise that there is no on site restuarant. If you didn't order food before stay which was served in room, had to go down hill to central Nagasaki.

This is a really beautiful Japanese style hotel. The view of the city and harbour is spectacular. The staff is lovely. There a shuttles to take you from Nagasaki Station to the hotel and back. Breakfast is abundant.

It wasn’t a problem for us, but this property is not completely accessible. There isn’t an elevator or escalator and you need to go up and down via the stairs.

A visit to Nisshokan Bettei Koyotei is like a step back to gentle and easy days. Absolutely 1st rate staff made everything about my stay enjoyable and relaxing. It was obvious they prepared well, learned who we were and what we liked. I felt valued, pampered, and relaxed. There is no better location in Nagasaki. What a view!

This is an older hotel and feels a little dated. It was easy for our large picture window to fog up. The walk to the sento bath feels like a trek. Also, it is so far up the mountain that you cannot walk to this hotel. A taxi/shuttle ride is an adventure as well. I don't know how they make it up the final drive-way. so steep!

Absolutely lovely hotel. Beautiful, helpful and efficient staff made the stay so smooth and restful. Huge room. Wonderful food. The most amazing view over Nagasaki and its harbour from the sitting area in our room. Loved it. Also great minibus service to and from hotel to train station (central area); the drivers are amazing. The hill is really something else! Use of onsen at next door sister hotel was very welcome. The onsen at Koyotei is nice and clean but a little small.

Initially we were a bit put off by the massively steep hill upon which these hotels are perched (and a bit scared after driving up it!) as we thought it would be too hard to get around. The minibus service was GREAT though and the view makes the hill absolutely worth it. We walked down to the harbour a couple of times and it's a fascinating crawl - winding down the lanes and staircases through the houses. Didn't walk back up but certainly it is possible. Easy to get taxis back after a late night, and they're cheap.

This hotel is a little out of the way, but really worth it for the view. It's relaxing to see Nagasaki from above at different times of day. The staff were so friendly and always smiling and greeting guests, even giving us big waves as the station shuttle departed. I recommend taking advantage of the shuttle bus because while the city bus gets near the hotel, it's a steep mountain and the remaining walk is quite intense. The included breakfast was high quality.

The hotel had a wonderful view over Nagasaki. It was a little way from the main town, but we had a car so it was not a problem. There was also a courtesy bus that serviced the hotel down to the station.

What an amazing place to stay. Million dollar view of the city, the most incredible and amazing staff, a beautiful Japanese style room and fantastic Japanese breakfast. The perfect place to stay in Nagasaki. We will definitely be back here in the future.

Nothing it was perfect

This ryokan is about as fancy as you can get. It is not in town and required a taxi or shuttle to get there; fortunately they provide a free shuttle but it's on a schedule. Because it's on a hill above the city, it's peaceful and the view is fantastic. The service was friendly and helpful and they spoke English. Signs and information were in English. The room rate included meals for which this ryokan is well known. The meals were exquisite, traditional food artistically prepared. We didn't try the public bath, but it looked clean and was empty. In the waiting area for the public bath, there were massage chairs and foot massage machines that were wonderful after a day of walking around the city. The room had a soaking tub we enjoyed. We felt pampered.

Some people might not like the location but we found it easy to get to the city for sightseeing.
