The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Relaxing Onsen Experience

The onsen at Nakahara Bessou is a true highlight! The water is pumped directly from 800 meters below the hotel and is wonderfully hot, making it an incredibly relaxing experience. I loved soaking in the yuzu-infused onsen after a long day—it felt rejuvenating! Even though it is a bit small, the ambiance is so calming that you won't want to leave!

Delicious Kaiseki Dinner

Dining at Nakahara Bessou was a fantastic experience! I enjoyed one of the best Kaiseki dinners I've had in Japan. The meal was beautifully presented and packed with flavors that highlight local ingredients. I highly recommend treating yourself to a dinner at the hotel restaurant for an lovely culinary experience!

Authentic Japanese Rooms

I loved the traditional tatami and futon setup in my room! It felt so authentic and cozy. The room had all the amenities I needed, including a refrigerator and a tea-making kit, which made me feel right at home. The yukatas provided were a nice touch, allowing me to relax fully after a long day of exploring.

Spacious and Inviting

My bedroom was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated in a traditional style. Despite being one of the smaller rooms, I felt like it could accommodate a few more guests comfortably. The attention to detail, such as fresh tea water daily, made my stay even more enjoyable. I couldn't have asked for a better environment to unwind.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable, which I really appreciated. The location was excellent, right near Tenmonkan, but I did struggle a bit with the room temperature since I had no air conditioning. The amenities are decent, but the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations given the price. Overall, it's a solid choice, especially for exploring the city.
