The photos don't do this ryokan justice. We had a semi-western room and it was very large (even compared to other ryokans) - so big it even has a little corridor. Room and overall facilities were quite modern. Dinner and breakfast was excellent. Private onsens require booking and a 1000JPY fee which is ok but half board for my 2 year old child at 5500JPY was quite steep considering what they served (and options are limited given the amount of raw food for dinner).

Perfect 10 for this Ryokan!

Highly recommended. Room was spacious and very comfortable. Gender specific onsen on the property was fabulous. There is a private onsen availble for booking at a fee of 1000 yen for 45 minutes if you wish. Half board includes Japanese breakfast and dinner which was served in a private cubicle. Amazing experience.

Stunning ryokan tucked away in the mountains, but still only a 10 minute walk from the main onsen town. Super friendly and helpful staff. Beautiful rocky outdoor onsen with sulphuric minerals. Clean and spacious tatami room, and delicious Japanese style breakfast set. Would definitely stay again!

Rooms and facilities are a bit dated but staffs were friendly and foreigner friendly. In a quiet area a short walk from the main street where most of the other ryokans and some restaurants and shops are located. Additional charges for the private onsen so we did not use it. The public onsen has an indoor and outdoor section for both the male and female side and is only open from 7am-9.30am and from 3pm to 9.30pm. We feel it’s too short especially at night. Perhaps the night opening could be extended. We also found a lot of white floating particles in the water. They looked like something from the source and not dirts but wasn’t pleasant to see. Management should really looked into this.

What’s not to like.

We had a wonderful stay here. The family run Ryokan always went the extra mile and helped us plan our itinerary. The location, rooms, service and food were excellent. We were sad that we were unable to stay here for the 2 nights.
