Tsutaya Ryokan <Iwate Prefecture>

The price was reasonable, it was close to the station, and it felt quite prestigious. The building is old, but well maintained. Although the bathroom and toilet are shared, there are three spacious bathtubs, so as long as you remember to write your preferred time on the Reservation sheet, it shouldn’t be an issue. There were also complimentary snacks, ice cream, coffee, and bottled water, and thoughtful touches such as bath salts placed by the tub ready to use.

I stayed with the No Meals Included plan. I was amazed that not only amenities, but also snacks, drinks, and even cup noodles were provided free of charge! I received a canned cola and water. This is a Ryokan I would love to stay at again.
