"Ryokan experience for great value for money!"

10.0

The nicest experience staying at a traditional ryokan! The toilet/shower sharing was perfect, everything was impeccable clean and organized, and the host was the friendliest! We felt at home and would love to come back one day.

Nothing I didn’t like
