9,6/10 Exceptional - Based on 49 reviews
Quintessence of serenity nestled in the embrace of the Ome mountains, the Nobori ryokan invites you on a journey where time fades away. In this universe where tradition and nature harmoniously blend, every detail tells the art of well-being: from the public baths with soothing reflections, offering an immersion in essences of clarity and tranquility, to the subtle connection between modernity and authenticity. Here, well-being emanates as much from the surrounding landscapes as from the warm and attentive services, a true promise of a break away from the world.
Four carefully laid out futons or five, for larger groups, welcome souls in search of rest. Each room, bathed in light, is a hypoallergenic cocoon where traditional tatami dialogues with majestic views of the surrounding nature. The ryokan in Ome thus preserves harmony between intimacy and grandeur, giving each stay an ineffable note of softness and a true immersion in the understated elegance of old Japan.
Quintuple symphony of local and colorful flavors, the Nobori enchants with its Japanese cuisine, served in an ambiance full of warmth and traditions. Nearby, tables unfold as so many promises of culinary discoveries, from the comforting tea of neighboring cafes to the subtle dishes of nearby nestled restaurants. With every bite, the soul of the Ome mountains whispers its secrets, filled with authentic and timeless flavors.

Negative Reviews
Challenging access
Getting to the inn can be a bit tricky, especially on foot with bags. It is a bit of a walk from the cable car station, so packing light is recommended.
Steep stairs and mountain terrain
Some guests noted that the stairs are extremely steep, which is to be expected at the top of a mountain, but may be challenging for some travelers.
Limited bath hours
A few guests wished the bathtub or onsen was open for longer hours, as they would have enjoyed more time to relax in the bath.
Traditional pillows may not suit everyone
The traditional 'bean filled' Japanese pillows might not be comfortable for all guests, and some would have appreciated a Western pillow option.
Travel time to location
The journey to reach the inn can be lengthy, but once at the railcar station, the trip up the mountain is quick and worthwhile.
