The hotel was a bid run down and you can tell that it has seen its best times already. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is really great and relaxing. Especially for the price I can only recommend to stay there for a few days. First, the hotel is full of locals and for three days we were the only foreigners. Thus, it was a really authentic experience and we really enjoyed it. Second, the room, food and clothing you get (kimono & sandals) are all traditional Japanese. Third, alongside the public and private onsen there are plenty of enjoyable offerings by the hotel to spend you time. Such as games, karaoke, an arcade and a mahjong gaming room. Only downside is, that everything closes at 9 and the latest breakfast starts at 8. Overall at great, authentic experience!

This is a grand dame of a ryokan hotel next to a beautiful river with a scenic view of a suspension bridge and cliff. The hotel is very worn and in real need of a renovation, but the staff keep it as clean as they can. This is not a glamorous hotel and is definitely past its prime. However, that's not why you come here. You come to this ryokan for the hospitality, the well-maintained spa, the family activities, which are numerous (outdoor pool, manga reading room, mahjong, billiards, table tennis and karaoke) and its convenient location to the train station and the river. The buffet breakfast and dinner are delicious, the staff is very friendly and hard-working and there is an endless supply of choose-your-own yukata by the front desk. This is a quiet town and the sidewalk rolls up early as well as the activities in the hotel, which makes it a good, wholesome place for a family with young children or teens.

A great hotel, excellent ambience and surrounding environment. Staff do not communicate in English. But first time I ever feel one of the staff did something dishonorable in Japan was to cancel our booking slot for a private onsen and gave it to another. I have never encountered this in Japan before.

This place has very much seen better days. I didn't arrive in time to try their restaurants so I can't be any judge of that, but the rooms had no AC, I found an Ant twice in my room (and you know if you find one then there are MORE !), hair on my sheets, and everything had a very worn and stained look (walls, wallpaper, etc). The Onsen part wasn't too good either. A lot of the hallways had half hazard done patches from holes punched or kicked into the walls. When I talked to the staff about my room they apologized and that was it. When I left they gave me $10 vouchers for next time I visit (I WON'T !).

見た目より中は思ったほど古い感じはなく、部屋からの景色も癒されました。 少し部屋の風呂が下水臭かったのと蛇口の赤い方が温水になるのにとても時間がかかったのが残念です。 宿が大きいからでしょうが、朝食・夕食ともに二部制だったのですが、30分単位で入れをずらすなどで混雑緩和してくれるとうれしいです。 またぜひゆっくりしに行きたいです。
