This was definitely an unique cultural experience. I highly recommend it. We were immediately greeted by the nicest and most considerate staff.

A treat of history and culture

We splurge and glad we did. This was one of the highlight of our trip to Japan. We could have booked a cheaper place but wanted the real deal.... and we were not disappointed. The architecture was authentically exquisite, the service like no other place in the world (we have been most everywhere), the food 1st class, and the bath a real joy. We were so happy. Our memories of this place will last a lifetime.

I loved our stay at the ryokan. The staff go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy yourself, and the hospitality we experienced really made the trip. From serving our dinner to setting up our beds for the night, they were friendly, respectful, and really made sure we were relaxing and enjoying ourselves. Our room was quite large and included our own bath and sitting area. We had a view of the back garden. It was clean and comfortable. We chose to have the kaiseki dinner (additional cost), which they served in our room. The Kaiseki dinner we got was delicious and I loved how they explained each course to us. There is a public bath in the ryokan, which we took advantage of a few times. I only encountered two people the whole time we were there, and it felt like it was my own private bathhouse. All in all was a wonderful experience and would love to stay here again.

We wanted an original ryokan experience and we got exactly that. Staff were really lovely. If I did it again as a senior I would request a room with western beds. The tatami mat beds were very comfortable but in a few years I do not think I could get up and down easily. The room did have four chairs but there were five of us. I enjoyed the Onsen bath experience and the Japanese breakfast. Great location, close to a few local restaurants and family mart. Walkable to Ginza District.

Simply amazing!

I don’t even know where to start. This traditional style hotel was an amazing experience from the start to finish. We got there early so they held our bags while we walked around. When we came back our bags were in our room and they brought us a cookie and tea for a snack. We left for dinner and when we came back our beds were setup. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and on time. The staff was so incredibly nice and considerate. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thanks!
