Great design with attention to details really gave a full experience of ryokan stay. Located in the city center, easy to access but the noise from the busy surroundings was inevitable. Access to and from cottages from the service area required a buggy car, so it might not be ideal for a stroller or wheelchair. Our 2-bedroom unit was spacious, clean, and comfy. The private onsen was perfect for a family with 2 small kids. Privacy could be an issue though, the onsen seated in the back deck was quite visible from the adjacent unit. Food was the real disappointment. We ordered ramen and sushi, and both didn't meet our expectation. Breakfast variety should be improved, and food quality and taste need immediate fix to meet the standard of authentic Japanese culinary experience. Otherwise, offering Japanese street food might be a better idea. Most staff showed great hospitality and helpful. Especially our buggy driver (forget his name), the big guy who took us to our cottage on arrival. Thumbs up for him. Onsite activities can be added to improve the overall Japanese experience.
