I greatly appreciated the experience of sleeping in a ryokan this nice. That said, I’m glad I booked only a single night as I didn’t sleep well on the futon mattress on the floor. The rooms and property are gorgeous and immaculately maintained.

The room was beautiful Japanese style tatami mats to sleep. We had our own onset style wooden bath tub. The staff were friendly and welcoming. It was our favourite hotel during our two week Japanese adventure.

I stayed for 2 nights and loved every moment at the hotel. Every staff member I met were so incredibly nice and welcoming and even gave me an umbrella when I checked out as it was raining which I wasn't expecting at all (thank you for the gentleman that gave it to me on check out, saved me from getting wet going to the store to buy one!) The room was so nice and it really felt like I was staying in a traditional inn. Thank you to everyone for making my stay so comfortable. Worth every penny.

Absolutely beautiful room, onsen, and the meals were amazing. Highly recommend spending a night here. Staff was very nice and patient. Might be difficult for kids, but is a very romantic and well-thought getaway from the busy downtown.

Wanted a getaway from all the hustle and bustle and to experience a Ryokan. Great accommodation. Bus stop across the street, walking distance to the metro stop. Dinner and breakfast available and an Onsen on site. Staff is so kind and sweet, we loved our time here.
