"I can’t say enough good things about this place. It was relaxing and staff were friendly and welcoming. When I departed on April 9, I realized that I had forgotten my watch at the hotel. Upon calling the hotel, the front desk gentleman drove his motorbike to quickly return it to me at the station. I am beyond thankful for his hospitality and am very appreciative of his kind and quick response. He made our trip extra special."
"Everything about our stay was wonderful — the beautiful scenery, the exceptional kaiseki dinner and breakfast , the warm and attentive staff, and such a comfortable, restful sleep. Our kids absolutely loved it, and we’re already planning our next visit. Highly recommend!"
"The property and staff are great! Food is prepared well and served in a private room for each party alone. The minor issue that I had was that the menu is set and it’s difficult to substitute other food choices into the menu. "
"My family had a great time there! It is spacious, and well equipped. I had booked for style B. We loved the hot spring and sauna. The living room and dinning room is big enough for family gathering. Check-in was smooth and easy. There were some frozen food and drinks in reception house. It was convenient. When we were hungry late at night, we simply bought from there."
"Nice clean and big room, 4 private baths, and delicious meals. You can choose your yukata so that it feels more personal. A great price for a ryokan in a secluded setting. Hosts were very welcoming as well. Please refer to their website if you have questions such as arranging their shuttle service. Highly recommended! I had a wonderful stay!"
