The authentic Japanese experience. Run by the same family for 4 generations. Lovely onsen on site. Traditional Japanese breakfast. Lovely hospitality.

If you don’t like hard futon beds not the place for you :-)

Dreamy building, comfortable room, clean common areas and lovely neighbourhood. Couldn't have asked for more!

If you are after an authentic inn experience this is for you, its a historic old inn built in 1926 with recent (1990’s) renovations - the host is exceptionally patient and kind and speaks om’s english and is used to gaskins trampling around his hotel. If you don’t like sleeping on thin futons on tatami mats, then this isn’t your spot. You could ask for extra mats to raise the bed higher? I opted out of the breakfast and drove close by to June Coffee (part of the FAV Hotel Group) for a decent coffee and toastie to start the day. Baths here are traditional and super clean - towels are provided. It’s a charming older style place so no Big Tall Americans should come here and complain about things that can bed answered via AI/Internet searches.

Stairs - by day 14 I am officially over walking up stairs - there is a low bridge that connects the two sides of the building - I am 5’6’’ and just fitted under it - watch out
