古き良き、日本旅館。

8.0

趣ある建物で、お風呂も源泉掛け流しで、非常にリラックスして過ごせました。

夜は部屋の明かりに虫が集まり、建物自体が古いため、隙間から結構虫が入ってくるので、苦手な人は虫が少ない冬とかに行く方が良いかも。

A secret gem.

10.0

I cannot even imagine why someone would give this less than ten other than they were expecting a sterile hotel. This place has more character and historical beauty than any place I’ve been in Japan, and I’ve been all over. It IS NOT a hotel, a cushy spa on Hakkone, anything generic. It IS. A totally singular unlike any place you’ve been before historical, proud, quirky, creaky, beautiful, mysterious place. We were the only people there the first night and I felt like I had crossed the bridge in “spirited away.” There are tunnels and pathways within the building and we had spectacular views, and the beautiful baths alone with whispering bamboo and total silence. But most of the service is out of this world. I’ve been to many ryokans? And the level of care and proud hospitality, and sweet lovely smiles AND THE FOOD. The most delicious, generous, indigenous, creative…you can’t believe it. I could go on and on but am almost out of room. If you are a Hyatt person, or a White Lotus spa type- don’t go here. Let’s keep it for me. But if you want a secret slice of real Japan with the best hospitality and food in the world with things you’ll never find anywhere else - this is your place

The cutest granny!

8.0

On our way back from skiing in Hakuba, en route Tokyo, we made a stop at this beautiful quiet town to stay for the night at a family run Ryogan …Turned out ? One of the trip’s highlights ! At first impression, the traditional wooden house looked especially fragile in this freezing cold night with traditional heaters; yet the welcoming smiles radiating from the young pretty host in her beautiful kimono warmed our hearts as darkness fell. The traditional heated bedrooms and heated blanket covering settees were warm and comfortable. We got a hot bottle in our blanket on each futon - cute :) Walking to the dining room and onsen was COLD. We had Japanese dinner at the Ryogan served by the beautiful same host in kimono. Very charming. One dish was horse meat sashimi!! The cook was the grandma - the cutest grandma in the world! We just loved Grandma and everything! It was snowing when we closed up the night in on sen. We were the only group of guests that night so had the on sen to ourselves only. Immersing in hot water in a very cold night while watching silver flows of snow falling quietly was such an experience ! The next morning, after yet another beautifully prepared traditional Japanese breakfast, Grandma in her lovely cooking apron and the sweet host saw us off at the front gate. There were lingering photo takings and good bye sayings before we finally walked slowly off to our car. What a memorable stop over of our route to Tokyo !
