The open-air bath and private dinner are exceptional.

With the higher-class reservation, you can enjoy a relaxing private dinner in your room. The cuisine has significantly improved compared to 10 years ago, reaching a level that could be considered a culinary Ryokan. While the building is not new, renovated Western-style rooms are very clean and modern. Although the Japanese-style rooms are not new either, they offer a very calming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and provides polite service. Currently, there are many trainees undergoing training, so their service might feel slightly inexperienced at times, but this will improve as they complete their training. Considering the size of the bath and room as well as the quality of meals, weekdays offer excellent value for money. Saturdays tend to be more expensive for smaller groups like two people; however, it remains fully booked almost every weekend. For a quieter stay, weekdays are recommended. The lower-priced Plan includes dinner served in the dining area instead of your room. If you're on a budget this is an option; however, we highly recommend opting for private dining in your room if possible. As this is a popular Ryokan, we suggest making your Reservation early!
