"Authentic historic charm with a peaceful vibe and a great night's sleep!"

10.0

The historic house has a wonderful old charm and a very peaceful vibe. Because we love walking through cities, we actually found the 20-minute walk from the station to be very nice. The host was incredibly kind and used a translator app to communicate with us seamlessly. The shared bath was perfectly fine, and as a woman, I appreciated having access to a private restroom. While we didn't see any other travelers during our stay, we knew they were there from all the shoes lined up at the entrance! Most importantly, the futons were excellent; we slept incredibly comfortably and had a deep, restful sleep. We highly recommend this ryokan for anyone wanting an authentic, quiet Japanese experience.

Very spacious and beautiful rooms. They provide it with Yukata. The shower area was like having a private onsen.

"また利用したいです!"

全てが清潔。とても快適に過ごせました。 自転車が借りれるたり、朝、駅まで送っていただける点も嬉しいです。

良くない点はないです。強いて言えば、部屋の中に全体を見れる大きな鏡があるといいな、と思いました。
