Tamonkan

“Tamonkan is a traditional Japanese Inn. Its historic significance is huge. The meals, common bath, beds and service were an amazing experience delivered with the usual huge politeness and understanding. Toki san, the manager, speaks some english and went out of his way to explain things and to email train travel instructions from Tokyo. Tamonkan is only 7 minutes walk from the start of the famous 2,446 steps walk up Mount Haguro. I only had 2 days free from Tokyo and I wanted to see true Japan. I found it in Toge village, Tamonkan, and Mount Haguro.”

“The food was incredible, authentic Japanese food. The service and hospitality was excellent - with great attention to detail, little treats and tea left in the room when they set up the futons for the night. It felt like staying in a genuine Japanese home. Perfect location for exploring Hagurosan, start of the track is 5min walk away. Staying here felt special, not like staying in a big ryokan complex. The bath was amazing - we weren’t used to Japanese style of bathing but quickly came to enjoy it and spent hours in the tub. The hosts are very down to earth and lovely.”

“Very peaceful and friendly hosts. Will definitely try to come back again!!!”

“Lovely food. We had sake with dinner each night. Personnel were great”
