Nice ryokan close to the Shigehira Falls, perfect view in winter. Room was a little old, wall paper peeling, stains on the wood but I think it’s from tourists who don’t know how to use Japanese items in the room. Don’t put wet glasses on the wood. Despite the aged look, the service was polite, the futon very comfortable and an excellent night of sleep. Staff warmed up when I spoke Japanese but despite living in Japan for over 20 years and speaking quite well, they treated me like a foreigner based on my looks. It was a little annoying but I’m used to it. The bath is very nice, the outdoor bath lovely with the snow. Well maintained onsen. Breakfast hall is small and often seating is limited. Go early.
