Eine wunderschöne und typisch japanische Unterkunft. Die Ausstattung ist traditionell und wir haben auf Futons geschlafen. Es war sehr komfortabel. In dieser Unterkunft wurde an jede kleine Kleinigkeit gedacht, von Waschraum mit Waschmaschinen, und die Waschbecken fürs Handwaschen, Onsen- ein Traun, wir haben Glück gehabt und wir waren alleine, es war wirklich beruhigend und entspannend. Die Nachbarn waren auch ruhig, jeder hat seine Privacy und Ruhe respektiert. Frühstück war auch traditionell japanisch. Die Madame hat uns alles erklärt, gezeigt und einfach wirklich höflich. Vielen Dank an ganzen Staff für eine schöne Erfahrung in eurer Unterkunft.

Loved the peaceful location, which was conveniently near several bus stops while being away from the bustling part of town. The room was one of the most spacious that we stayed in during our entire trip. I'd book again in a heartbeat.

"Nice Traditional Ryokan"

9.0

Very nice traditional ryokan with comfortable Futon beds. A Little outside the Buddy area but easy to Go everywhere by Bus. The River is close.

If you want the Room cleaned you have to leave before 10 am. The onsen Hot Bath was very Hot … a Little too hot to be relaxing.
