Busuitei

Authenticity. The hostess was very caring&customized breakfast. We stayed in a room that slept 12 but we were only 2... so we had plenty of room and the comfy Western beds. Beautiful view of the river. Private. Quiet. Easy, interesting walk 2 train.

Beautiful and historic ryokan right at the confluence of two rivers with wonderful food and hospitality

The room and the services were exceptional, can’t fault anything. It was by far the best hotel I ever stayed in.

Breakfast offered was quite exotic, but this itself wasn’t a fault of the hotel but my own difficulty with dealing with breakfast in Japan overall. I wish there was an option to bypass rice, fish and soy dishes in the breakfast and explore more fruits, bread, eggs, coffee and tea.

Our stay was authentic Japanese, food and building. Exactly what we were after.

Apart from the beds being a bit hard, everything else was great.

<Food> Exceptional meals with seasonal and local ingredients. We had been looking forward to the meals as we understood this hotel is a '料理旅館' (literally dining hotel) from its Japanese name. Exceeded our expectations as it's delicious and special (not the typical Kaiseki). <Room> Very spacious family room with our own internal corridor, floor to ceiling windows, overlooking the river. Nice views in the snow!

Everyone was extremely kind and thoughtful. We enjoyed the comfy beds and the ensen.

I have no complaints. It’s very authentic so if you’re looking for western hotel this is not it.

The food and service were excellent. The staff went above and beyond. They even tracked us down after checkout to return an item we left behind.

Incredible stay at Busuitei! The hosts were very hospitable and helped us enjoy every moment of our stay.It only took us 8 minutes to get to the hotel from the railway station. This ryokan is a 150 year old building located in a very picturesque part of Hida Furukawa. Our room had an amazing view to the Japanese garden, river, shrine and Hida mountains.We also loved the family bath and enjoyed an exquisite dinner with Hida beef, medical herbs and different types of miso. Breakfast was served by a very nice lady in a separate room with a lovely view.It’s definitely 10/10 for me. Thank you, Busuitei.

Basuitei was such an incredible experience, truly authentic and the staff was super friendly and made the stay extra special. The place was fantastic, right next to the river and temple, really conveniently located in the town centre. The food was extraordinary, so many incredible, tasty, healthy dishes that came one after the other during the dinner in the private room overlooking the river. The building itself looks quite old, full of lovely antiques, traditional furniture and ceramics. Such A wonderful stay we will remember !

Maybe the beds could have been a bit comfier but a part from that everything was perfect.

One of the best meal I ever had in my life! We arrived quite late and hosts still take the time to walked us through the facility to welcome us then serve the dinner. The 12 course dinner was unforgettable and each of the dish was truely made with the best local ingredients and the craftmanship of masterchefs. You can see and feel and taste the food, knowing that the hosts are truely offering you the best of the best they have. We are definitely coming back again!

I needed to get something from the car after midnight, but didn't know how to get out of the front door. The lights were all shut and I was too afraid to wake up the whole house (It's my own fault).

The place is beautiful and the owners are very friendly and kind! They welcomed us with the traditional tea, matcha latte and some sweets. For dinner and breakfast they served traditional dishes (a lot of different foods) and we were super happy to try them. One of the owners even translated some of the special ingredients into our native language! Really nice and respectful of him!We really recommend a stay at Busuitei.

A large Japanese style sitting room and separate bedroom. Large Japanese style breakfast served in a private room. Great lobby and very friendly hosts. A 10 minute walk from the station near 1 of the tempels, a short walk from all sightseeing sites.

The owners are really kind. The property is amazing and the food is amazing.

Not so much things to do in hida.

Beautiful location and environment, staff were very friendly and helpful, good facilities in the room and ryokan

No menu provided during dinner so hard to know pacing of meal, drinks ordered at dinner are on top (note the menu has prices but this is not disclosed clearly)

Wonderful service and experience. Feels like a true traditional Japanese Inn honoring traditions and treating guests like VIPs.

It’s an old building and with that old building charm comes some old building smell. Not bad but noticeable.

such a beautiful location on a river with views of mountains and a shrine. the home is 150 years old and totally authentic in style and furnishings. very quiet and peaceful. Our rooms were large enough for 4 adults (2 on futons) or a family. There was a separate bedroom as well as a living area,

Nothing to complain about. the hosts and all service was personal and gracious.

beautiful location, friendly staff, comfy beds, nice amenities

unfortunate dinner was not included in the price but it was worth the extra charge

It was a magical experience. Truly special and the meals were delicious.

that we had to leave.

Exceptional hospitality, outstanding food, accommodated our vegetarian diet and presented some of the most exceptional meals we’ve ever had.

Charming and located in the most beautiful village. Staff were very nice and welcoming
