Excellent experience at a high end Ryokan

Julie · CA · 2026-04-19

Bellissimo posto, relax, ma la cucina a noi non è piaciuta

7.0

La struttura bellissima, una finezza degli arredi mai vista, personale gentilissimo e scrupoloso, colazione buona.

Gestione dello spazio onsen poco sfruttabile come orari, purtroppo la cena non ha incontrato il nostro gusto.

Wonderful property and staff, highly recommended

10.0

From the location, the welcoming, professional staff to the high end finishes across the property, the attention to detail, the in-room onsen and public onsen experience which can be privatised and the quality of the food, room, beds, the grounds and close proximity to the shops in town. Basically everything.

Dinner reservations need to be made 3 days prior to the stay which I missed. It would be good to have a reminder for booking meals with the booking.
