"A great ryokan with very friendly staff. The Japanese breakfast was the best we had in Japan! Our room was nice, clean, and had an amazing view. Great location! "
"Kenji was a very nice host and his "guest house English" speaking was wonderful!! It is a perfect location if you are looking to wake up early and walk to the bamboo forest, you can be one of the first people there. Kenji also gave us recommendations of places to visit in the area that you otherwise may not have known about. "
"Different options available for the hot springs (private and public), clean rooms, good service, and conveniently located 3 mins from a local JR train station. Fantastic relaxation spot with the Japanese ryokan feel that comes wirh modern amenities in a good location."
"It was a wonderful stay, a nice experience in a Japanese house. Mama and Papa are so kind and generous, very welcoming, and the place is so cosy and charming. I'd happily come back and stay here! 😊🤗 "
"The location is great- steps from the train station. Not a lot nearby in terms of food and most things close early when the tourists leave for the day. Which means it’s pretty quiet at night. Rooms are good size, not cramped like most of Japan. Windows barely open and the AC was not working well when we were there. "
