โEN Takeda Castle Ruins Hotelโhow deliciously poetic your name, and how utterly seductive your presence atop the whispering hills of Hyลgo.
We arrived not as guests, but as wandering nobles of the nightโsouls seeking silence, depth, and beauty untouched by time. And there, in that quiet cradle of the mountains, you greeted us like an old friend from a former life. The tatami mats, the delicate sliding shoji doors, and the scent of cedarwood soaked in morning mistโeverything spoke in the language...
โWe were greeted with freshly made hot tea and cakes, and an incredibly informative introduction to the hotel, amenities, and local area. They also provided wine in the lobby and an open bar with multiple drinks and small snacks until midnight and 0200 respectively which was almost unbelievable until we saw it ourselves. โ
โThis is a beautiful property, and we wished we could have stayed longer, much longer. Our room was a piece of art. The owners were kind and gracious. We will surely return!! โ
โBeautiful ryokan with a modern aesthetic in rooms. Spacious rooms and very friendly staff. Private baths were very hot and easily booked. Well located and easy to arrange for parking. Yukatas are provided and easy to wander the town, along with included pass to all the baths in town. โ
