Takayama Festival Floats Exhibition Hall

The only downfall was too far from the train station. Beautiful property. Friendly staff to stereotypical fat American.

I recommend Genjikoh for the amazing Japanese experience of enjoying the open bath overlooking the ocean and the various activities in the hotel such as the scent workshop. We booked a room for 5 and it was spacious and was pleasantly surprised it has 2 toilets. The sea view was breathtaking. We don’t book the meals as we don’t eat raw food but we had difficulty finding a good eatery outside as there are few amenities nearby and they close early. This place is great for those who drive but inaccessible otherwise even though the hotel has a shuttle bus. We are glad we had a rental car and could enjoy this great ryokan experience!

I’ve dtayed at a Mitsui Garden in Tokyo and Nagoya - both very similar in design. Nice spa.
