The room was clean and comfortable, and since it had twin beds, my friend was also satisfied, saying it combined the best aspects of a hotel and a traditional Japanese inn. The hot spring water was soft, and you could bathe until late at night and early in the morning. The guests on the day I stayed seemed to be mostly calm, mature couples. Only breakfast was served, but both the porridge and white rice were delicious, and there was a wide variety of side dishes, so I had seconds of rice and enjoyed everything. Coffee and tea are available in the lobby. It would have been even better if there had been a minibar in the refrigerator and complimentary bottled water.

Omotenashi! Very comfortable ryokan!
