The family is welcoming and discreet. The room was bigger than expected, the meal and breakfast was delicious. Tsuwano ifself is a great place, this minshuku made my stay wonderful.

This 130 year old ryokan is absolutely charming. Our room was on the second floor with a view of the quiet street and the red-tiled roofs of traditional houses with the mountains in the background. The bathroom was modernized with a flush toilet and shower/soaking tub ensuite. During dinner, they roll out the futons and feather comforters on the floor. There was also an alcove next to the windows with sitting chairs and a small table at which to work or have a cup of tea and shoji screens to block it off at night. The low table has a tea service in a lacquer box and there is an electric hot water pot to make tea. You can keep the rooms natural temperature or you can turn on the heat pump to the temp. you desire. There is a communal hot bath, but our ensuite soaking tub was fine. Yukata and slippers are provided. Even better than the room were the owners and their children. The father and two sons are the chefs, while the mother and daughter in-law work reception, do the books, serve the meals and answer all your questions. Although the family had limited English, they made a great effort to explain every dish during dinner. They made us feel welcomed and appreciated. And the meals were delicious. We had two breakfasts and two amazing dinners which included sashimi, chawanmushi, soup, individual hot pots with different ingredients and dipping sauces, crab legs one night, matsutake broth, mountain potatoes and pureed turnips, vegetables, pickles and much more. The combination of flavors was exquisite and the dishes were a delight to the eyes. The ambience of the Noren Yado Meigetsu (rising moon) ryokan made our two-day stay in Tsuwano even more memorable.
