One of the most modern and luxurious ryokan we've ever stayed. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast are skillfully elevated. The grounds are well kept and exudes zen. The onsen bath with a view of the still rock pond is especially striking in the evening. The room is spacious enough for 4. There's samisen concert at night after dinner, there's bookstore, etc.

The seamless pick up at the station and the lovely kamakuras in the hotel were great. Meal service was great. Staff onsite were wonderful and the snow views made everything magical. The town was v quiet so buy whatever you need before you arrive. Also make sure to alert the staff 5 days in advance if u have dietary needs, the reservation/meals team would not accommodate last minute dietary restrictions even if you have legit reasons which tbh was the only disappointment in our almost perfect stay!

沒有冷氣

已經是6月中旬後，室外溫度已經30度以上，但因為是中央空調，房間只有暖氣，沒有冷氣。跟櫃檯反應卻不能調整溫度設定，最後只能借電風扇。餐廳也是沒有冷氣，大家揮汗如雨吃著火鍋熱湯

名氣雖大，但質素一般！

設施有點舊，房間設計不很貼心。餐廳位於一樓，但沒有電梯或無障外通道，對長者或行動不便人仕就有點困難。

四人房寬敞又舒適，餐點極細緻美味。夜晚在大廳有三味線的演奏，搭配隨您享用的地酒與蘋果汁，更有味道。服務人員的親切服務與溫柔笑容，當然是不用說的了。館內的活動不多，只有早上七點多的伸展與晚間的三味線，但是湯泡起來是舒服的。室內池裡還漂浮著好多木雕蘋果，真可愛。室外池不大，但看著周邊的楓樹，可以想像秋季與冬季在此泡湯的美景，會想回來。

優點： （1）員工服務熱忱 （2）餐食水準不錯（晚餐炸物特別優秀） （3）館內整體設計、裝飾具美感 缺點： （1）部分設施老舊（特別是房間內的地毯，應該要更新了） （2）某些地方清潔不夠乾淨，甚至還有灰麈堆積 （3）給客人穿的衣服實在不好看，還是換回傳統浴衣比較像是住宿溫泉旅館
