Wonderful ryokan experience! The room and building were great; the staff polite, helpful, and cheerful. The full-course dinners were spectacular. The bath houses were the best part- incredibly spacious, with soaps provided.

All five star. Free shuttle bus running between the train station and hotel. Breakfast included was amazing. Plate painting is something memorable. Highly recommended for those who want an authentic onsen exiting Japan.

去年に引き続き、計四回目の利用となります。 今年の夕食は個室ではなく宴会場で他の方たちと一緒で頂く形でした。 しかし、アルコール類がセルフとはいえ飲み放題となり、お酒が好きな方でしたらこちらの方が良いかもしれません。 今年もゆっくりさせていただきました。
