A Memorable Experience

This ryokan is in a beautiful location. Mr. Toshi went above and beyond to provide us excellent hospitality, a meal, and even showed us around Shiobara region and drove us to our bus stop. He was so helpful and caring to my family. The food, onsen, and rooms are wonderful.

アットホームな雰囲気で居心地良かったです。猫ちゃんは３匹居て1匹はやや短気(笑)です。 特に不便は無かったですが老婆心で一つ言わせてもらうと防災上の案内は軽くでもあった方がいいのかなと。他の宿でこれが長いとまた聞くのが面倒ではありますが、、、 その他大きな不満も特に無かったです。 機会があればまた行きたいです。
