This was my first experience at at ryokan, and the inn is one I would gladly visit again. Great staff, comfortable beddings, fantastic exteriors, and amazing spa facilities (both public and private). It's a bit of a walk from the main town, though.
This place was amazing! The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the manager said hello to everyone at breakfast. The food was overwhelming in a good way. The room was beautiful with a fish pond outside the porch.
Room 116 had a moldy smell. Water stains were visible on wall. I asked to change rooms and they allowed a change to the second floor. I don't think they should be utilizing that room at all with that strong smell of mold. The second room had no such smell.
