This was one of the most beautiful ryokans I’ve stayed at in Japan. From the moment you walk into the lobby, you’re greeted by a stunning floor-to-ceiling window overlooking a peaceful Japanese garden and pond. It’s such a memorable and calming way to begin the experience. We booked the half-board option with both dinner and breakfast included, and the food was excellent. Every meal felt thoughtful, beautifully presented, and very satisfying. The entire stay felt relaxing, authentic, and special. I would absolutely come back again on a future trip to Japan.

The room was beautiful with a patio that overlooked the lush hillside. The dining area was pleasant and the food was good. The onsen, however, could stand some refurbishment. The hotel advertises late checkout but I was told that 11:00 am constitutes late checkout. This seems like a bit of a scam to me. Made my departure more rushed than a I planned for it to be.

This was a unique and calming stay for us. The traditional room was beautiful and had unique touches. The view of the green maple trees was zen. We used the deep soaking tub and also the wonderful onsen facility. I highly recommend staying here for a peaceful getaway.
