Takasagoya Ryokan

-A traditional, neat Ryokan which run by a three gen family. -The family is very hospitable. -You can visit 3 share onsen freely by stay in the Ryokan. -Don't miss the dinner and breakfast which prepare by the owner. Very fresh ingredient with huge amount of dishes and please make space from your stomach before the meal.

The place was beautiful, the pictures just don't even seem like the right place. The rooms were next to a stream and walking in you feel like you're going back in time, walking over covered bridges and rustic tatami-matted floors. The grounds were just as charming and the onsens were our favorite in Japan (and we like going to onsens all over Japan). Particularly a tiny one tucked in a corner where a cold water stream ran right next to the onsen so you can go back and forth, covered by a lovely momiji tree and a little wooden fence around it- sheer onsen magic on a sunny day or a quiet bulb-lit night. Our room was beautiful as well, with the heath in the middle, costly but so worth it! The wifi was great (we did skype calls from there) and we scarcely even left the facility (only one day for a hike) because the onsens were so wonderful to go to! Meals were good, the only downside was that they were so large we overate at every meal. Service was warm and unobtrusive and they tried hard to understand our barely serviceable Japanese.

3 min walk to the bus terminal. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was excellent~!
