The staff were warm and welcoming, the room, bathroom and onsen facilities were immaculate and the food was the highlight. This was one of the most serene places I’ve ever visited, I fell asleep hearing a little stream outside my room and a casual garden stroll in the walking trail close to the ryokan gave me a scenic close encounter with the local deer. Highly recommend booking your stay to include dinner and breakfast to experience the culinary tradition of the region.
