We wanted to experience a night in a Ryokan. This structure was amazing and welcomed us in a unique way. Welcome drink (very appreciated given the hot weather) and typical kaiseki dinner served in our room. Everything was perfect.

Very clean, very conveniently located in walking distance from the station, eateries, buses. Tastefully designed with lots of thoughtfulness, tranquil. Made good use of the onsen which was a relief after long days of exploring. Very nice, special breakfast was a nice start to the day. Very professional, courteous staff, I will stay here again and highly recommend! The laundry room was small but the machines are efficient.
