Do this was our first experience at a full service Ryokan and Onsen. The size of our room was huge and we loved the bathroom as it felt like being in a spa. We really enjoyed the traditional Japanese dinner and breakfast. There were so many foods that were new to us. We got the Omni beef dinner which was extra and the meat was fabulous! Definitely worth trying. So the only stress was arrival at the train station. There’s a public phone that you can use to call for pick for foreigners but it’s so tiny and difficult to find. It’s literally tied to a string 5 meters from the exit of the tolling station as you arrive.

The staff were wonderful during our 2 night stay at this ryokan. They made us feel so welcome even with a language barrier and just provided us whatever we needed. The food was amazing and the onsen facilities were top notch, definitely the highlight of our Japan trip. They also provide a free shuttle service to pick you up from the nearest train station. There’s even a convenient hotel phone at the station to use.

Amazing experience. So fun to take pic’s of the family in traditional dress. I personally loved each of the Onsens. Unfortunately the dinner included a lot of fish - we are not big fish eaters.

It’s so nice here the staff are extremely attentive and it really feels like being a feudal aristocrat for a day, with dinner and breakfast as multi course meals in private rooms and staff coming to set up futons for sleeping while the guests are at dinner. Cannot recommend it enough! the surrounding area is charming in a small-town kinda way, but there’s not much to do outside the ryokan. I don’t recommend staying more than one or two nights unless you have a car to take you out to things to do in the area

I loved the various onsen you could try out (especially the outdoor ones)! I also opted to have my own wooden tub that dispensed hot spring water—that was really nice too. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the kaiseki dinner was great to try. I highly recommend this place if you want to have an onsen day!
