The room was spacious and futon very comfortable. It was clean and the staff was friendly and kind. He gave me lots of tips and recommendations that made my trip even better. When you arrive there, you realize that the ryokan is better and more beautiful than you saw previously on photos

There is nothing wrong, maybe just the location. You have to get the bus in order to move somewhere because it is not in the downtown. However, it is well located if you are looking for a quiet neighborhood.

"This was our favourite accomodation in our Japan trip."

10.0

The host was incredibly welcoming, helpful and friendly throughout our stay. The room was spacious and beautiful and we woke up to the view of the garden everyday. The futons had extra mattress, making it super comfortable and extra blankets as well. Good location away from the hustle and bustle, but not too far away from central activities.

Nothing!

"Un endroit merveilleux, traditionnel, intemporel"

10.0

Le Ryokan est superbe ! Nous souhaitions un ryokan traditionnel et Rakucho Ryokan est l'endroit parfait ! Nous avons eu la chance d'avoir la chambre qui donnait accès au superbe jardin japonais. La chambre était immense et très bien agencée. Le propriétaire des lieux nous a accueillis avec une chaleur et une hospitalité remarquables, prenant le temps de nous expliquer comment notre séjour allait se passer au sein de l'établissement. Il nous avait même préparé une carte avec tous les points d'intérêts à proximité (bus, restaurants, supérettes, onsen (tattoo friendly)) ainsi que ses suggestions perso ! Nous sommes vraiment tombés amoureux de cette endroit, en partir a été très dur... Nous reviendrons ici lors de notre prochain voyage !
