    Great location and great owner. It is a ryuken so you have a shared bathroom and traditional beds but it exceeded my expectations and was a fantastic way to really immerse myself in a piece traditional Japanese culture. 10/10 would book them again

    The host is very welcoming and very kind. You can ask him if you are not familiar with the place and he will guide you.

    Amazing and friendly staff, great location with rustic Ryokan feel. A throwback to a different time and a piece of culture preserved.
