The staff are wonderful and very welcoming! Every part of the ryokan was beautiful and clean. The dinner was an extraordinary experience. We loved our stay.
Very good experience, great good and service. Highly recommended for couples. Also free bicycles available, can travel to opposite street and shopping.
Excellent service, room and food. Very friendly staffs all around.
The ryokan provided pick up and drop off service from Sayo JR station and Hayashino JR station which was very convenient to us (with JR pass).
English speaking staffs provided assistance to us right after our booking (via email) and during our stay.
The ryokan even organised a morning tour up to the mountain to see the fantastic cloud of sea which was unforgettable.
Although the district was a quiet country side and without much to see, the stay was brilliant.
Highly recommended.
Excellent overall experience. First, when you enter the hotel, house warming service keeps you feel warm and relax. Then thorough explanation of inhouse room apartment. For dining experience, unexpected welcome wishes from hotel owner makes us an unforgetable memory. Highly recommeded.
