The wash area has a retro feel, but it is clean, and the Japanese-style three-way mirror and small desk give it the character of a long-established Ryokan. In addition to floor chairs, there were also comfortable cushions, showing thoughtful attention to relaxing in a tatami Room. Since we chose a Room along the gorge, we spent time simply gazing at the rocks and river below or lounging on the tatami. The Onsen was of course wonderful, but above all, the meals were outstanding. The dashi broth was truly delicious, and with every bite I felt glad we came here. Every dish was carefully crafted, and I was impressed by combinations I had never tasted before. The staff’s hospitality was attentive as well, making our stay very comfortable.
