This is a clean and comfortable Japanese ryokan style hotel. It's conveniently located within walking distance of many great sights and local restaurants.
This has been my favorite hotel since I began coming to Japan it was super nice and the staff was awesome and very helpful. Loved the open air bath and the break was amazing. We stayed an extra night because it was so awesome. Close to many attractions too. We will definitely be back
The staff were very professional and polite. They also explained everything you needed to know about the services provided at the hotel. Great service!
Fabulous. Could not have been better. Across the street from the tourist office and within walking distance of all the gorgeous shrines, museums, and historic points of interest. Also easily walked to very special restaurants after using the hot baths. Most important, the staff could not have been more wonderful. They went above and beyond on every occasion — including escorting us to our cab with umbrellas in the rain. Our favorite so far.
A top notch experience with amazing staff and service. Exceptional rooms and beds. The only negative, and I’m searching here, would be the carpet in the common area needs to be cleaned. I highly recommend!
Ryokan traditionnel avec un onsen extérieur très agréable.
La chambre est très Jolie et dans un style traditionnel.
Niveau d’anglais à la réception correcte si on parle simplement.
