Convenient to the attractions
Convenient to the attractions, nice staffs. A bit old but considering the price, still a good choice for budgeted onsen stay with two meals.

What a delightful old world charm this hotel has. Great room and wonderful food. Definitely take the Japanese room with half board. The onsens were very nice. The location is superb right next door to the temple sites and forest.

A wonderful first experience in a Japanese hotel.
It was my first time in a ryokan and it didn't deceive me. All was perfect from the typical Japanese room with tatami, futon,... to the onsen. The dinner and the breakfast were each time different with lot of really good Japanese products. I feel more Japanese after this night than before !

Worse than expected
The twin room was not as described, we were expecting at least a basic bathroom in the room that you can take a shower, while it's only a toilet - scam. And the room is really freezing in winter there's no heater, pyjamas provided was thin material. The worst hotel during my Japan stay.
