The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Bliss

The dining experience at Takefue is nothing short of lovely. We were treated to Kaiseki dinners that were not just delicious but also beautifully presented. Each dish was fresh and seemed to be crafted with the utmost care, allowing us to indulge in the flavors of Japan. Breakfast was equally impressive, featuring amazing pancakes that I keep dreaming about. Every meal was a delight!

Exquisite Onsen Experience

The private onsens at Takefue are an absolute dream. I enjoyed the unique experience of soaking in an onsen surrounded by bamboo, which was not only relaxing but also visually stunning. The Chikujo No Ma and Chikurin No Yu provided a peaceful retreat that I couldn't get enough of. Each bath was thoughtfully designed to enhance the natural beauty around us.

Luxurious Accommodations

Staying in the Amato room was a highlight of my trip. It was like a luxurious bungalow equipped with a private onsen, where I could relax while enjoying stunning views. The thoughtful design and attention to detail made my stay incredibly comfortable. I also appreciated having amenities like a Nespresso machine and locally sourced drinks to enjoy during my time there.

A Bathroom Oasis

The bathrooms at Takefue are truly a work of art. My room featured a private bath that opened to the sights of nature, creating a soothing atmosphere for relaxation. The use of luxury toiletries like L'Occitane added a touch of elegance to my bathing experience, making it feel truly special. I never wanted to leave the peaceful setting of the bath.

This ryokan is a breathtaking hidden gem, perfect for a luxurious getaway. The rooms are spacious and bright, each featuring a fantastic outdoor bath that immerses you in nature. The service was exceptional, offering personal attention that made us feel special throughout our stay. The location is peaceful, ideal for relaxation, though a bit remote. While the dining experience was delightful, the meals, though well-presented, didn't quite match the caliber of top kaiseki restaurants. Overall, it's a wonderful choice for a serene vacation.

My stay at Takefue was truly special despite a few drawbacks. The ryokan is beautifully set in a bamboo forest, providing a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable, and the personal service was top-notch. However, the ongoing construction reduced the tranquility we were hoping for, and I felt the price was quite steep for the experience we received.

My experience at the ryokan was truly unforgettable! The luxurious service, delicious food, and beautiful surroundings made it all worthwhile. I particularly loved the attention to detail, but the location is quite remote, making it a bit challenging to venture outside. Overall, the experience was worth every penny, and I would happily return for another stay.
