Perfect for rustic breaks in the countryside, an Inn is a small property with basic hotel services and typically traditional decor. Inns are fully licensed and have a bar providing food and drinks in the evening – distinguishing them from country or guest houses.
The suite was ample, beautifully restored and designed. I was greeted with a delicious treat. All beverages were complementary. The private hot tub on the deck looking towards the mountains was fantastic. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding of the greatest quality. The Onsen was great. The dinner was very special and I enjoyed each dish. The staff were very welcoming. This was a fantastic experience.
This is a truly amazing place. We stayed at a similar concept hotel at matsumoto but BYAKU blowed us away with the level of service and standards in term location, full board dinner and breakfast, landscape, onsen facilities, not to mention the charming old town that beat all the old streets we visited during our two weeks long holidays. Thank you BYAKU for the good hospitality.
The dinner was amazing, beautifully presented and delicious. Breakfast was more of a challenge for a western palate but there were plenty of things we could eat. The property is beautifully done. We visited the bar after dinner to try some Sake. The lady running the bar was great. We really enjoyed the onsen. Narai is a beautiful location and well worth a visit.
Byaku is without peer - best place I stayed in Japan. Staff were wonderful, food is out of this world. All the attention to detail was fantastic. If you have dinner there be sure to ask for their homemade gin (with cedar and various local woods, brewed in a huge jar) - one of the best things I've ever tasted.
To no one's surprise, a Japanese hotel is super cleanly and orderly. The Route Inn gives you the option of having a light daily cleaning and a full daily cleaning. I opted for the light cleaning, since I'm not a messy person, and I was only staying for 4 days. The breakfast provided was also fantastic. Served in a buffet style, the hotel restaurant provided a variety of both Western style and Japanese style breakfast foods.
Very friendly staff with amazing English! The lady gave me some great suggestions for dinner and where to try some local wines! 5⭐ for staff alone!
Good location, short walk from the station, with restaurants and konbini nearby.
Breakfast was okay, buffet style, the rice was delicious!
Nice bathing area as well.
