“An unforgettable culinary and relaxing experience”

An exceptional 5* Japanese ryokan. It's more than a hotel; it's an experience. From the elaborate greeting, to having your shoes stored and retrieved on demand at the entryway, very friendly staff (There are 70 staff for 27 rooms if I remember right!), to the immaculate suite we stayed that exceeded nearly every other luxury hotel room we've ever stayed in. We stayed as a group of friends very comfortably with two people in the very comfy beds, and others on futons on the tatami mat. The futons were set up and stored every day by the staff during breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was outstanding in a private room. The kaiseki dinner (which you need to pay extra and reserve ahead of time!!) was expensive but well worth it for the experience, quantity and quality. As we were in a large group of friends, it was held in a large private room on F2 that made us feel like Japanese royalty. The onsen in the building is pretty good but you need to walk 50m to the sister-hotel in the same block to access the rooftop outdoor onsen which was outstanding. If onsen is your main priority, I would consider booking the sister-hotel ahead of this one. Nothing like standing free after a hot bath looking out over the city. Please be reassured that all the staff speak conversational basic English and all information is provided in English. It is a very foreigner friendly ryokan. It is an excellent choice if you are unsure of the customs and expectations.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. Making us feel special throughout our stay. The food was great and the room was beautiful.

“Comfortable rooms, ok service, but wouldn’t pay the price again considering low quality of food.”

The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

“Overall we were happy with our stay.”

“We enjoyed our stay at the hotel cos of everything was just too perfect.”

The traditional Japanese breakfast was excellent, and so was the kaiser dinner. Everything was perfect and we were all impressed and intrigued by the traditional style and decoration of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and helpful. a big thumb up!

“Absolutely brilliant.”

It was traditional with modern touches really well combined. Our room was massive. Everything so clean. Staff were fantastic and helpful. Restaurant offered real traditional Japanese cuisine and catered for Westerners also. Location right next to the old town was fantastic.
