Morten ZinkCozy stay at a traditional ryokan
Very cozy Ryokan with very nice staff. The bath was very good. We got the kaiseki dinner, and it was a bit too much fish for us. The western breakfast was very tasty.

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.

Questions about Ryokan MOTONAGO
What time is check-in and check-out at Ryokan MOTONAGO?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Ryokan MOTONAGO allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Ryokan MOTONAGO?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Ryokan MOTONAGO have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Ryokan MOTONAGO have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Ryokan MOTONAGO?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Ryokan MOTONAGO?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
