A difficult place to find but we’ll located. Close to the lake and station. A traditional Japanese hotel well presented with helpful staff. We forwarded our cases to the hotel and on arrival we checked in and were escorted to our room where our cases stained us an a member of staff showed us round and explained everything to us.
Room was smaller than expected (about 10 tatami). Onsen was fine. Food was tasty, and changed the second day, which is nice. The ryokan building itself is quite pretty. It's easy enough to find, less than a 10 minute walk from the station. It is in the middle of a town, so it doesn't feel very rural, but I guess that's a tradeoff for the convenience of the location. And since it's in a town, it's quite easy to walk out to cafes, restaurants, convenience store, etc. Staff were all very friendly. Lounge on the first floor is a nice touch.
Convenient location, nice staff and clean environments. Dinner and breakfast are great and delicious. But the equipment, decorations in one of the two onsen was not good enough to have a five star rating.
This is a 100-year-old Ryokan renovated 30 years ago and it looks brand new. The dinners are fabulous and the service outstanding. The only slight drawback is the Onsen which is public but well worth a visit.
