“Don’t Think Twice About Staying at Araya Totoan!”
+Our stay at Araya Totoan was truly the highlight of our entire trip to Japan. From the moment you arrive until the very last minute of your stay, the staff go above and beyond to make every detail feel personal, thoughtful, and luxurious. The rooms were beautifully elegant, the private bath was an absolute treat, and the outdoor onsen was genuinely life-changing. The entire experience was unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend Araya Totoan more highly!
−One minor criticism is those of us that slept on the Japanese-style beds were not as comfortable. For one or two nights it’s completely fine.

“Wonderful onsen experience”
+Our room was beautiful and super comfortable. The onsen experience is amazing. We loved our stay.
−The facilities are smaller than the pictures show - it’s all lovely but quite small. Food was not great. The vegetarian dinner did not meet expectations or match the price paid. Breakfast was okay.

“Amazing, loved everything!”
+Our stay at Araya Totoan was one of the highlights of our trip to Japan. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The hospitality was exceptional , warm, attentive and incredibly thoughtful, making us feel at home while experiencing traditional Japanese culture. The ryokan itself is beautiful, peaceful and authentic. It provided the perfect setting to slow down, unwind and immerse ourselves in the unique atmosphere of Japan. The onsen baths were a wonderful experience, and the calm surroundings made it easy to completely switch off from everyday life. What we appreciated most was the balance between tradition, comfort and heartfelt service. Everything felt authentic rather than staged for tourists, which made the experience even more special. We would highly recommend Araya Totoan to anyone looking for a tranquil and genuine ryokan experience, especially those wanting to experience Japanese hospitality, culture and onsen traditions in a beautiful setting.

“Once in a lifetime…”
+A truly stunning, historical and special stay. The owner and team were so wonderful and looked after us beautifully. The suite itself was divine. Soaking in a cedar tub while looking at the forest floor is something we’ll never forget. The private dining room makes your stay feel even more exclusive. The food was truly out of this world. Our baby was catered for beautifully. We even had a large Moses basket in the dining room for her to rest. The area itself is very cool- there was an arts and crafts fair there when we stayed. There is a beautiful forest walk too. Can’t fault the stay and can’t wait to return one day.
−Nothing it was perfect.
+緑を見ながらゆっくりくつろぐことができるお宿です。 館内が畳でとてといい匂いがし、清掃が行き届いているのでとても綺麗です。 お風呂もお料理も素晴らしく、スタッフの方の対応も良いので、値段は少しお高めですが十分価値のあるお宿です。
