“Homely, cosy stay”
The ladies running the ryokan were waiting for us when we arrived, and gave us a brief run down of the room's amenities. When it was time to leave, one of them had put our shoes out, and was there to bid us good bye. We felt very welcomed and well taken care of.

Beautiful Ryokan in an old Japanese house overlooking a nice garden. The room was very comfortable and quiet with a new bathroom. The Japanese breakfast was delicious and staff was extremely welcoming, helpful and friendly. Short walk from the train station. Definitely recommend this place for a stay in Yanagawa!
