Simple and affordable traditional onsen ryokan. Good experience. Do note that this ryokan does not offer dining options hence you may want to consider other options if you are looking for a full onsen ryokan experience. Also note it would be better to know a bit of Japanese in order to communicate with the staff.

이런 숙박시설에 다시는 묵고 싶지 않네요.

여행중 숙박했던 호텔이나 여관중 가장 최악의 여관이였습니다. 방의 구조나 욕실이 너무나 열악하고 온천도 시설도 많이 부실합니다. 방도 거의 여인숙 수준...화장실이나 세면대가 공용 시설이 열악하면 가격이라도 싸던가...
