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.
