This place is great, it was our first time staying at a ryokan. The staff’s hospitality and service is 10/10. The futons were very soft and comfy. A lot of space in the room. Only downside for us was it’s kinda far from the station so just a lot of walking. Will recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay! We were treated so well, they were attentive to every need and so helpful! We enjoyed a Koto concert, tea ceremony, traditional Japanese breakfast, loved our room, there is a Public Bath, and it’s a quick walk to the Family Mart! They even gave me a little gift for my birthday. Highly recommend!

This is such a lovely hotel, it being clean and staff are friendly.
