We had an excellent stay at the Irori Yado Hidaya. The staff are excellent and make your stay great by their attention to detail and their friendliness. The hotel is a traditional Ryokan i.e. you sleep on futons, have floor seats etc. and we loved embracing this for 2 nights. The hotel offers free incence, candy, tea, and you can try on Yukata's on and even borrow them to go into town.
The only things to note is that there are no showers in the room, and if you wish to shower you have to use the communal onsen (seperated by gender). This does not bother me personally, however you have to go naked into the Onsen, which may put some people off. We loved the experience, and want to thank all the staff again for being excellent.
