Sushi Auberge Gorasaryo

Great dinner and excellent breakfast (both at pre-scheduled times). One hour reservation for private use of onsen in the evening and unrestricted gender specific communal use of onsen in the morning.

My experience was second to none. The breakfast and dinner service were spectacular. The chefs were real masters of their art. The accommodation and services were amazing. I was treated exceptionally well as a guest at the property. The private onsen is a must-do experience. If I could good a higher rating I would. I will always remember my experience here.

We absolutely loved our stay here! We stayed in the Japanese room that came with 2 meals per person and a private onsen reservation. The room itself is very traditional with folding futon and sheets that you set up once you're there. A yukata was also provided per person as well as towels, extra layers, sheets, and tea. The wifi worked well. As other reviews noted, the room only has a private bathroom ie. sink and toilet, but you can take a shower/bath in the onsens, either during the public hours (there are two which are separated by gender during those hours) or during your private reservation (which you make upon arrival). There are hourly time slots for the reservation for the two onsens so there should be plenty of times available to you once you check in. Dinner also came with our reservation and was scheduled for 6pm. It was really delicious! We stayed on a Monday night and essentially had a private dinner to ourselves since there weren't other guests. Impeccable service and every dish was well explained. The breakfast was similarly excellent and definitely really filling. We loved both! Finally, the proprietor and chef were both very kind and hospitable. We could not have asked for a better ryokean experience and would definitely recommend!
