Takefue

We traveled to Japan from San Francisco. After our jam-packed tour schedule, we arrived at Takefu Ryokan. Our stay at the Tafuke Ryokan was terrific and nothing short of extraordinary! I'd particularly like to commend Yua Takaki. He was incredibly helpful and patient when we had to use Google Translate, as neither my husband nor I spoke Japanese. He always responded to our questions attentively with a friendly smile. Yua Takaki went above and beyond to meet our needs during our two-day stay. The excellent food the chef provided was, of course, incredible, too! Thanks to everyone who made our stay extraordinary, and many thanks to Yua Takaki.

This place is luxurious. We stayed at one of their smaller rooms since it was just me and my husband but they have larger suites if you wanna bring a whole cohort. They have free ramune just lying around the resort and resort itself is worth exploring so you're not just limited to your room. The food is excellent. It was rainy when we stayed but it was still wonderful. I overestimated my ability to eat dessert after dinner and ordered a whole box of wagashi, but the staff was kind enough and let me pick the ones I wanted to eat instead of wasting the whole box 😅 They use traditional bamboo and paper umbrellas during rainy days! You can also reserve their private baths and those were really cool as well. I highly recommend staying here!

A truly unforgettable stay — where every detail, every meal, and every smile made us feel at home. Thank you to the incredible team, especially Mr. Kenji, whose warmth and care made our experience even more special. This beautiful resort has captured our hearts, and we look forward to making it a cherished family tradition for many years to come.
