  • It was wonderful.

    This was my first stay. It was quiet and very relaxing. The room was wonderful, and the meals were excellent. I enjoyed them at a leisurely pace in my room. The furnishings on display are beautiful—it feels like a museum. I also appreciated being shown another room. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

  • A soothing hot spring inn where tranquility and lush greenery restore your spirit.

    The ryokan building has a charming, historic feel and is surrounded by lush greenery. The guest rooms are spacious with plenty of room, so there is no sense of being cramped at all.Because the number of guests accepted each day is limited, it was very quiet, and I really loved the calm atmosphere.The hot spring baths were also wonderful; with so few guests, I was able to enjoy them at my leisure both morning and night as if they were private.The bedding was very comfortable as well. Sleeping on a futon laid out on tatami mats, it was my first time staying at a ryokan that provided two pillows, and I appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail.For dinner, I chose a kaiseki course with fewer dishes, but even though it was labeled “lighter,” it was more than filling enough. It was beautiful to look at, satisfying for the heart, and left me completely full—an excellent meal overall.This is a ryokan I would definitely like to stay at again.
