NIPPONIA Sasayama Castle Town Hotel

スタッフが親切 お部屋も良かった

Beautifully and elegantly restored house. Kind and helpful staff. Very comfy beds. Delicious breakfast. Really good skin products.

L'hôtel s'est installé dans une vieille maison de marchand de plus de 150 ans, en conservant tous les éléments anciens, notamment une grande cuisine avec ses cuiseurs de riz. Personnel aimable et attentionné. Un check-out tardif (12:00) qui permet de se promener dans la ville (bien morte lors de notre passage, aucune boutique d'ouverte).

L'hôtel est franchement un niveau en dessous de son frère à Nara (voir mon commentaire) tant au niveau de la beauté du bâtiment, que de la restauration. Qui plus est, notre serveuse n'arrêtait pas de renifler pour cause de rhume mais c'était à la limite du supportable lorsqu'on est attablé.

Mooi interieur. Comfortabel verbouwd samurai huis sukervriendelijk personeel. Parkeerplaats voor deur

Geen goede koffie (alleen oploskoffie) in het pland is zelfs koffiebranderij en winkel gevestigd…. Plaats geeft niet echt iets te bieden

This was honestly one of the most special and unforgettable places I have ever stayed. The experience left such a deep impression on me. Staying in a 150-year-old traditional house allowed me to fully immerse myself in an atmosphere that you simply cannot experience at ordinary accommodations. I could truly feel the charm and peaceful ambiance of Sasayama village throughout my stay. The room exceeded my expectations and made the entire experience even more memorable. It wasn’t just a stay — it felt like stepping into history. Most of all, the dinner kaiseki course was absolutely outstanding. The fusion of Japanese and French cuisine created flavors I still cannot forget. Every dish was beautifully presented and thoughtfully prepared. Breakfast was also delicious and perfectly complemented the overall experience. I feel so grateful that I had the opportunity to visit such a place. If I ever have the chance, I would love to bring my parents here — it’s that special. Highly, highly recommended to everyone. The location is great as well. Absolutely recommend without hesitation!

The staff were absolutely lovely and really made the experience. I really appreciate them going out of there to make a birthday plate for my partner and giving the most incredible recommendations: the pottery shop and amazing café were real highlights of the trip!

趣ステキ 対応もご飯も最高 朝食シャンパン 出来れば数泊したい

お風呂がもうちょっとゆったりだと良い あと飲み物のグラスやおちょこがあると雰囲気でる(コップでワインや日本酒は残念)

Historical atmosphere of the house and neighborhood. Lots of space. Free drinks from fridge.

The bath stone floor gets pretty cold.

アレルギー対応食も美味しかった。 スタッフの丁寧な説明と対応に安心できた。 檜風呂、縁側の椅子、屋根裏部屋など静かにのんびり過ごせる空間がたくさんあった。

風呂の床が石で冷たかった。

スタッフの対応の良さ。

スタッフの方がとても親切で信頼出来る素敵な方達でした。宿も本当に素敵な所で夕食は猪肉ではなくフレンチでとっても美味しかったです。又、朝食が和食でおかずが何品もありクロマメの味噌汁が美味しくご飯もおかわりしてしまいました。最高に素敵な宿でした!

Location is generally convenient and close to tourist spots. Dinner was good but breakfast rather simple for the price we paid for a full board.

Kept hitting my head against the beams 😅 no hooks in bathroom to hang clothes or towel.

古民家をリニューアルされ、センスの良いホテルでした。２度目の宿泊になります。 落ち着いた雰囲気、スタッフのおもてなし最高でした。 こだわりの地産地消の食材を使ったフレンチとても美味しくいただきました。食器もとても趣きがあり美しく盛り付けも絵画のようでした。

友人親子と合計４人での宿泊。昼間は居間でくつろげましたが、夜は私達の寝室になるためお布団が敷かれて、少々窮屈になってしまいました。 夜おしゃべりやお酒を楽しむスペースがあれば良かったかなと思います。

宿の雰囲気　夕食の美味しいこと　ロケーションも最高

古い建物をリフォームしているので室内に狭い階段があること　　趣があるのでそこがいいのだか、年配の方にはおすすめできないなぁっと思った

Stepping into another world. Small town relaxed atmosphere, timbered house lovingly restored to accommodate modern facilities yet retaining the charm of Japanese ambience, tatami mats, sliding doors, bathtub. It was quiet, secluded, excellent for a retreat from a busy world.

It was a shame that the back yard, onto which the room opened, wasn’t kept and therefore not to be enjoyed.

篠山城の近くであるというアクセスは予想したようにとてもよく、朝夕に近くをぶらぶら歩きをしたのだが、とても楽しく過ごすことができた。また、レセプションの人たちの対応も良く、その点については感謝している。

古民家を改装したものであることは理解するが、それを使用する立場からすると全体的な視点からの使いやすさが犠牲になっており、その結果、あまりゆったりとくつろいだ気分にはなれなかった。部屋内の個々のものの配置、土間の板敷きの配置や階段の登りやすさにもう少し工夫があって、「珍しい体験をした」と進んで知人に自慢できるような気分になれればよかったのだが・・・。

全ての点で予想以上に良かった。

予約をした時点で、実際に泊まる施設が分からないことは非常に不安であった。

どこか懐かしさを感じる建物と雰囲気が抜群に良かったです

The welcoming of staff

If we are being charge for items not included in overall payment ,We would like to have been advised that it was an extra- in this case it was apple juice.

重要文化財級の古民家に宿泊できるだけでなく、スタッフの方のおもてなしの素晴らしさに感動でした。

古民家再生のひとつの方法としてまちに分散して残っている古民家をホテルの客室として活用するコンセプトは非常に共感します ともすれば、空調、水回りの設備等新築のホテルより劣ることになりやすいですが、うまくデザインされており不便は感じませんでした また、食事が素晴らしく、アンティークな雰囲気の中美味しくいただきました ありがとうございました

Authentic Japanese building with modern facilities. very clean. Amazing staff.

The rooms are beautiful and worth the money

The communication needs to improve. Before the stay I received a message with driving instructions to a nipponia hotel in another town than the one we had booked. Upon arrival we had to hand in passports (as the only place during our visit in Japan), the instructions we received were fine, but very practical in nature. There was made no effort in describing the hotel, the history, the restoration, the town, recommended restaurants or local events. I would expect that at a hotel in this price range. Why is this hotel special? Why does it cost what it cost? Instead we were told that the rooms were uncomfortable!? and that Nipponia didn't have anything to do with the hotel.... further we found out the day we left that there had been a local festival in town, but no one had informed us - instead we had tried to find a place to eat the night before but without luck. We were also told that we should book the 7.30 breakfast because the 8.30 would be packed, but when we arrived 8.30 there were no people.

We only stayed one night. We had a large, modernized Edo-era two-story apartment (bedroom, dining and living; toilet and soaking tub/shower) with a private courtyard view in a building separate from our friends in Sasayama Castle Town. We could walk throughout the town with our friends and visit each other's full-sized apartments (complimentary shuttle also available with pre-arrangement). Yukata and jacket to meals and can be worn in town. Ours had Western beds and full private toilet/shower and private soaking tub with garden view. We stayed in early April and Sasayama Castle had a festival and the town was full of cherry trees in full bloom, especially along the river. We should have allowed more time to experience the many shops and tradesmen and Edo history and demonstrations throughout the Castle Town. It was a convenient train ride from Osaka with hotel shuttle, but accommodates driving very well. It worked well in combination with a side trip to Kinosaki Onsen between Osaka and Kyoto by train. The Ryokan meals (breakfast is included, we also bought the dinner) were fantastic and more than we could eat. Emphasis on creative uses of locally sourced in season meats and vegetables including rice and locally crafted pottery. Very creative delicious dishes. The chefs are top of the line! The alcohol and drink selection featured world class local and international options. Several of the staff speak English very well and foreigners and families are welcome.

We loved our stay and the beautiful meal and staff. It was a pleasure.

I think that the rooms could be modernised a little more than they are at present without sacrificing the traditional feel. Air conditioning and insulation in particular.

Efficiency, sustainability conscious, staff, room comfort

The beauty of the room. And impeccable care the staff had for their guests.

Nothing.

Great service by a very hardworking gentleman named Takeru throughout our stay made it even betterl Thank you!

Very authentic and welcoming. We had a wonderful experience getting to know the Japanese culture and tradition. The atmosphere and crew were amazing.

very good service, dinner is excellent.

Thank you very much for a wonderful stay at the Nipponia Sasayama Castle Town Hotel. The staff was fabulous, very attentive and very helpful. I particularly loved the different "set"breakfasts options.

It was both historic and renovated. Absolutely charming. The staff was exceptional and very kind.

I had a lot of questions before my arrival such as best access from train station, how far certain sites were from hotel etc. Via Booking.com’s message the staff was able to answer all my questions. The breakfast was mind blowing amazing - every dish was created with ingredients that’s not usually used such local black beans in the miso soup - such refined taste!!!

It’s a beautifully restored building n I could hear all the conversations going on with reception desk n hotel guest - good thing they closed desk at 9:00 pm. Also there’s gorgeous old wooden beams in the room but it may be hard for people who are tall.

Beautiful room with character and lots of space

We liked everything

Absolutely fabulous hotel. Super welcoming staff and excellent restaurant. Loved everything at this place!

Nothing, perfect place!

Hotel's location is in the historical neighborhood of Sasayama which makes it special. The room and amenities were exceptional. Everything was as described, the staffs were friendly and helpful, the food was amazing.. Cannot expect more from my stay!

There is nothing to dislike from Nipponia!

The location was fantastic. Sasayama is a picturesque town, steeped in history and surrounded by mountains. It is a peaceful and relaxing location. It was a privilege to stay in traditional building that has its own interesting history, and that had been lovingly restored with some modern conveniences added. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was excellent! The traditional Japanese breakfasts were delightful. I hope to visit again!

More information about the variety of locations that NIPPONIA have in Sasayama.

Extremely helpful staff and will do everything they can to make you comfortable. Also, the building itself is a uniquely renovated space that still preserves the ancient structure and style.

Location.

Dislike walking through the narrow passage way from Level 1 toilet leading to Level 2 bedroom by Climbing on steep staircase. Very inconvenient and Not universal accessible friendly for senior guests or Handicap guests, especially descent the steep staircase.

The location is the best. The service is good. The food is great.

The house was very old, therefore the noises are non-avoidable. You can hear the neighbors and smell the breakfast cooking.

The concierge Ms. Ishigawa Nanami made our short stay wonderful. Probably the best hotel representative I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Less bright exit lights.

No onsen is the main thing

The food was phenomenal and it was so cool to be staying in an legitimate old home from hundreds of years ago! This property was a banker’s home back in the day.

Exceptionally friendly staff and delicious meals. Very helpful that the hotel has a shuttle.

nothing

とても良かったです！sionでテレビが無かったのが少し残念でした。次回は職場の同僚と人数を増やして来たいです

Our Villa was immaculate and it felt like a second home. Check in was at the main building which is a beautiful periodic house, it also houses the western restaurant. The staffs were well trained and friendly, to my surprise, they could speak fluent English.

很好的房子，很大，很乾淨，多人一起住很熱鬧！希望下次有機會可以再次光顧！ 小朋友見到間房子興奮到爆炸，大人看見房子會嘩！不敢相信這個價錢可以住到這麼高質的房子，值得推薦
