Ryokans in Sohara Station

"The room is a repurposed office, so the shape is a little unusual having a full window as the wall facing the road. This is covered by a curtain. If you need to sleep in total darkness, it may be a little uncomfortable. The curtain blocked the light enough for us to sleep comfortably though. The location gives great walking access to the castle and train station. There are trains and buses to different cultural attractions. There was a short fireworks show every evening from about 8:30 to 9 (in the beginning of August.) We had a great view from the walking bridge over the main road just a two minute walk from the apartment. The fireworks were set off far from the apartment, so it was not too loud. Local restaurants were not great, but there was a super market where we could pickup things for breakfast. The small refrigerator and microwave made it easy to keep and heat food without using the “kitchenette” which had a 500 yen extra fee for its use. Near the castle and other attractions, restaurants were very good. "

"Very friendly staff. Great location. Highly recommended but it does feel like it could use a renovation someday. It is showing its age a little. Luckily the bathrooms and bedrooms are clean and spacious and have a dip-back-in-time vibe. Knobs control the clock radio set in the bed stand. Etc. WiFi good. AC good and necessary this summer. "

"Perfect location & staff were so friendly - recommend"

"The onsen and the cormorant fishing excursion made this the best stop of our trip."

"Amazing. The finest hotel and nicest staff I have ever experienced. The views are spectacular. History is right outside the door, especially the Inuyama Castle and shrines. The restaurant is five star first rate and accommodated my son’s allergies seamlessly. We arrived after one of those days and they took care of us like family. "

"Location, staff and facilites all excellent. Stayed in Japanese style room, only downside for me was matress was little thin as not used to slwwping on a hard floor. Would definitely stay again. "

"What a fun little hotel, it’s not every stay you have a sauna in your room. The staff were super friendly - especially as there was initially an error with check in. They offer a happy hour of free drinks and the bar staff joined us for a game of cards whilst it was quiet. The area isn’t super ‘tourist friendly’ but when you’re in your room you won’t care. "

"I loved this place. Im an english speaker and they did their best for me. Great stuff in the room. A lot of fun. Do know its a love hotel. My room and a speaker system. Only complaint is the 20 minute walk to the station. I like walking and thats not a bad lengthbut not everybody would like it. Mall right next door with plenty of food options. Gifu castle and the buddha castle are quite close. Nagoya is less than an hour away."

"Fantastic place to stay! Would recommend."
