My stay at this ryokan was definitely a memorable experience. The room was lovely and provided a wonderful Japanese atmosphere, and I truly enjoyed the exquisite onsen. However, the location felt a bit isolated, and the thin walls made it challenging to relax fully at times. Overall, it offers great value for a wholesome Japanese experience.

This hotel offers a wonderful Japanese-style experience with lovely clean rooms and a fantastic onsen. The dining was exceptional, particularly the hot pot dinner, although the dining area was not aesthetically pleasing. The location does require some navigation, but the stunning river views make it worthwhile. The service experience at check-in was frustrating due to card issues, which overshadowed an otherwise delightful stay.
