We absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful hotel. The room was spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable — a perfect place to relax and unwind. The meals were truly exceptional and among the most special dining experiences we had during our trip. The hotel is located in a charming little town that feels almost as if it were taken straight out of a movie. The atmosphere, surroundings, and attention to detail made our stay feel very special. A beautiful and memorable experience

Great hotel to rest and relax in the middle of a hectic 2.5 week trip around Japan! Loved our little garden and outdoor onsen!

Wonderfully designed hotel in the middle of beautiful Narai. Excellent food and helpful staff. The only difficulty was finding my room after dinner!
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

The room was super comfortable and roomy. The soaking tub in the bathroom was amazing because you could have it hot all the time. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. You should note that some of the rooms are not close to the soaking pools or the restaurant. You have to go through a locked door to the street, walk for 5 minutes, enter another building for the soaking pool and restaurant. This place has one small pool for soaking so if you're looking for an onsen experience it would not be here.

Wonderful experience in Narai

Amazing property that’s been renovated very well. Thoughtful service throughout, esp from the team helming the excellent restaurant.

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a journey to get there but once you are there you absolutely love it. The staff and the property I are specifically detailed in its blend of architecture into its surroundings. We stayed in 116 which was just across the street from the main lobby and my kids loved it. We had our very own onsen and sauna like a private oasis in the mountains. And my kids have severe allergies to most nuts and sesame and the restaurant was more than happy to accommodate our needs. Language was the only barrier but that’s Japan and it’s our fault for not paying more attention to learning the language in another country. Besides that, this is an absolutely escape from the busy life of Tokyo. And if you are adventurous, hike from town to town like the shoguns once did.

The hotel’s surroundings and stunning architecture added to the charm and created an unforgettable atmosphere. This is easily one of the best hotels I’ve ever had the pleasure of visiting.

I had high expectations that were exceeded. The multi course meal designed to reflect the flavours and food from the area was exceptional. The room itself was very impressive too with a comfy bed and hot bath prepared for check in. Staff were very friendly and accomodating also. The surrounding area is full of unique craft shops and interesting places. Definitely have a night here at least in your travels

Our stay at Byaku was one of the most memorable experiences on our Japan trip. The hotel exemplifies Japanese artistry in so many ways, from hospitality to cuisine to design. It was a unique opportunity to stay in an historic region in a beautifully renovated historic Japanese structure.
