Nice Ryokan located at a Onsen street Nice ryokan located at a Onsen street

The staff were friendly, when we arrived we were greeted by a staff who directed us to the lobby and assisted with our luggage The room was nice had a nice outdoor area which you could sit outside to admire the cherry blossom tree but a little small for 4 adults. We booked the room with meal plan ie dinner and breakfast included , it was nice and tasty The free internet was ok but had some issues later as the connection became spotty. Overall had a nice stat with my family

Super beautiful ryokan, slightly inconvenient location

The ryokan itself was really nice, with a beautiful pond! The staff was super friendly and the food so delicious (although a little too filling for most of my friends haha)

A quiet and comfortable ryokan in the hot springs district of Kofu

This is a gracious ryokan tucked away in a tiny back street in the hot springs district of Kofu. It looks old, but is scrupulously clean and comfortable. The reception area looks out onto a Japanese garden with a small pond with koi carp. The room was a spacious 10 mat size and very comfortable, and as well as an alcove, there was a wooden balcony with outside seating. Breakfast and dinner were served in the restaurant, you had your own table with your name on it, and the food was excellent. The onsen was wonderful, male and female baths were swapped during the day so you could have a different experience.

Excellent ryokan, but the rotenburo should be repaired and the dining room should be made warmer.

The garden and patio attached to the room where we could see Quince fruit growing on a tree. The outer part of the room near the garden was also excellent, and the room size was large. The staff were also very nice.
