Lovely place. The baths were one of the best we have experienced in Japan. The food experience was fantastic. The staff very nice and helpful. They have staff that can communicate in English which can be a struggle outside of big cities in Japan. Highly recommended it

雨天で周辺散策等の観光もできず、少し早めに旅館へお邪魔したところ、早めの入浴を案内いただき、その後のチェックインもスムーズにしていただけました。 夕食は地元食材を活かした和食メニューで、地元のお酒とともに大変おいしくいただきました。

レトロな雰囲気で　お部屋も広くて快適でした。難点は　エアコンの風が　べっとに来て　消さないと寝れないにも関わらず　お布団が暑くて　夏掛けがあれば良かったところです。 朝食は美味しかったです。 夕食は　前菜は　凝ったものでなくていいかなと。デザートにも工夫があればと思いました。 なんだか　どっちつかずなお料理のような気がしました。 地味に　器にも凝って　地のものをだしても宿の雰囲気に合っていいのになと　生意気ですが　思いました。 でも、全体的には満足でした。
