"The property was a little dated but would have been very opulent in its day. Large rooms, comfortable beds and lovely views. The shuttle bus to the station was a huge bonus."

"Lovely stay - as a first time visitor to Japan, it was great to have a night at some more traditional lodging. Iwaso was beautiful and the service excellent. The fixtures in the private bathroom in my room were somewhat dated but everything was very clean, and I really used the Onsen anyway - also, the historic/classic styling of the property was what I wanted. I didn’t find the futons particularly comfortable, but am used to western beds. But what I really felt like I was paying for here was location - a short walk to town, beautifully set right along the river. Could hear the stream from my room (which looked out into the trees, I was in the newer/larger building) and loved using the outdoor Onsen next to the water. And, the best part was being up late/early after the hordes of day trippers had left - very peaceful. It also made it easier to get to the ropeway right at opening and avoid the lines (property is along the path up to Mt Misen.) The more expensive lodging options looked beautiful and probably worth the splurge - just outside my budget. "

"Really friendly staff. Great location not far from ferry. Comfortable, bar, coffee area. "

"If I could give this 100/10 I would. It is perfection. The onsen with a view on the roof is amazing. Fantastic breakfast Room stunning Brilliant staff. "

"Provided meals were spectacular. Amenities, including rooftop lounge and baths were also stellar. Exceptional service, exceptional bedding. The best hotel experience I've ever had."

"Amazing hotel. I stayed in a traditional Japanese style room with tatami mats and futons to lay out for bedding. The room had a forest view overlooking some beautiful trees and I even spotted a baboon coming out of the forest one morning while relaxing. Traditional dinner and breakfast is included. Dinner was several courses of delicious Japanese delicacies. Sushi, hot pot, too much to list. Breakfast was no less. The staff was incredibly polite and helpful with everything I needed. I believe they offer a shuttle service back to the ferry as I was offered one when I checked in. The next morning when checking out there was no mention of it, but I was pleased to enjoy the short walk back through the shopping areas and seeing the torii gate again anyway. I wound up spending the entire next day on the island climbing Mount Misen so skipping the shuttle was a blessing in disguise. I definitely recommend this hotel"
