Overall Ratings & Reviews Hinode Ryokan

This is the first time I spent a night in traditional Ryokan! Yumi san and King Kong san are nice persons, I love trying to chat with them. The bath is really nice and clean, but since they only have one bathtub at my floor, I can't stay in the bath for too long :'d also because the toilet is the traditional one, maybe you should bring glass or something to put water and wash after finishing doing your job. Because it's traditional one, the toilet is a little bit smelly. Other than that, it was a nice stay! Even they provide us with Yukata for bed! >< They also inform us about the nearest event so we can catch it! Will come again later! Definitely~ lol

First of all, the owners are very lovely and helpful. Gave us plenty of tips for where to go and the events happening on our time of visit. There are a couple of downside for us. 1. The toilet smelled pretty awfully. 2. We weren't allowed to bring our big luggage to the room upstairs as they wanted to protect the wooden floor. So we had to make multiple trips up and down to get our belongings. The weather was extremely cold and I caught the cold virus that left me sick for 5 days of my trip. 3. We weren't able to keep warm in the ryokan from the extreme weather (-5 degrees Celsius) during our trip. The insulation was poor and the room heater just couldn't do the job. If you're travelling in winter, we definitely wouldn't suggest it.
