Wonderful stay. Impeccable service. Remote but rustically decadent. So relaxing and cozy during our stay between fall and winter. We missed the peak fall leaves but that did not detract from the natural beauty of this area and we still enjoyed the waterfalls of Oirase gorge and the small loop around Tsuta pond greatly. If anything the onsens were even more enjoyable in the cold weather, and we were grateful to have the opportunity to stay in such a historic and well-kept ryokan.

Lovely place. The baths were one of the best we have experienced in Japan. The food experience was fantastic. The staff very nice and helpful. They have staff that can communicate in English which can be a struggle outside of big cities in Japan. Highly recommended it

Five ryokans spanning 3 prefectures over 8 days in search of classical beauty of fall foliage in Northern Honshu culminated at this place. It's not the most luxurious nor the best amenities, but one word to sum it up: timeless. The onsen facility is old but well maintained, however it is somehow the most memorable. Perhaps the history of this place leaves more impact. It's the most expensive of the other ryokans hence we only stayed for a night, and it's well worth it. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast are very solid, serving local ingredients such as the fish freshly caught from nearby Towada lake. We splurged and picked かつら (room 302) which is larger than the standard rooms. Highly recommended.

レトロな雰囲気で　お部屋も広くて快適でした。難点は　エアコンの風が　べっとに来て　消さないと寝れないにも関わらず　お布団が暑くて　夏掛けがあれば良かったところです。 朝食は美味しかったです。 夕食は　前菜は　凝ったものでなくていいかなと。デザートにも工夫があればと思いました。 なんだか　どっちつかずなお料理のような気がしました。 地味に　器にも凝って　地のものをだしても宿の雰囲気に合っていいのになと　生意気ですが　思いました。 でも、全体的には満足でした。
