"Everything is good except for hard accessible."

"We didn’t use the onsen attached to the hotel as the sister hotel was much nicer, we appreciated the cleanliness of our room, had a great experience "

"Beautiful property. The food was truly genuine Japanese cuisine, sit down meals that were not buffet style. "

"Clean room but it seems rather out-dated. No room-by-room control of air conditioning - i.e. the entire building is controlled in either way."

"Wonderful ryokan! Whilst not positioned directly on the river, it’s just a short walk to it. For the rest: superb rooms, baths and the breakfast is unmistakably the best in any onsen of that grade. Top marks!"

"Placed near the river, excellent hot baths and very good bedrooms. Breakfast is good."

"This ryokan was one of the absolute highlights of our Japan trip. As a couple travelling with two young adult kids, it was the perfect place for all of us to slow down and recharge after Tokyo. The biggest highlight was the four private onsens — no reservations needed, yet there was always at least one (often even more) available. It made everything feel so relaxed and effortless. The ryokan itself is small, intimate, and incredibly well thought out, with beautiful attention to detail and high-quality touches like POLA amenities. If you want to experience a true traditional ryokan, this is it. There were hardly any foreigners, and the staff spoke very little English — but somehow we managed just fine, which made it feel even more authentic. The secluded setting adds to that peaceful, escape-from-it-all vibe. The food deserves a special mention — we stayed for two nights and every breakfast and dinner was completely different and absolutely exquisite. It really elevated the whole experience. We were initially concerned about having no bathroom in the room, but it turned out to be the best thing — it gave us more reason to keep going back to the onsen. Our kids loved it so much they’ve already made us promise to return on our next Japan trip. Highly recommend. ✨"

"Location is a little far from the station, 25 win walk, but it had a (small) onsen. Hotel site says there is a convenience store ten minutes away, but there’s actually a large supermarket right next to the hotel and open till 10pm."

"Good"
