Our stay at Gora Kansuiro gave us the traditional Japanese hotel experience that we were looking for. Everything from the slippers,Tabi socks, Yukata (traditional robes), tatami mats, futons on the floor, and cuisine was AUTHENTIC. Being a total Westerner, I have to say I prefer a private shower option to the open single-gender baths offered, but we wanted traditional. The staff, with very limited English, was exceptionally courteous and friendly. The accommodations were very clean and neat. If you want an immersive truly Japanese experience, then I recommend a stay here.
