Five ryokans spanning 3 prefectures over 8 days in search of classical beauty of fall foliage in Northern Honshu culminated at this place. It's not the most luxurious nor the best amenities, but one word to sum it up: timeless. The onsen facility is old but well maintained, however it is somehow the most memorable. Perhaps the history of this place leaves more impact. It's the most expensive of the other ryokans hence we only stayed for a night, and it's well worth it. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast are very solid, serving local ingredients such as the fish freshly caught from nearby Towada lake. We splurged and picked かつら (room 302) which is larger than the standard rooms. Highly recommended.

雨天で周辺散策等の観光もできず、少し早めに旅館へお邪魔したところ、早めの入浴を案内いただき、その後のチェックインもスムーズにしていただけました。 夕食は地元食材を活かした和食メニューで、地元のお酒とともに大変おいしくいただきました。

Lovely place. The baths were one of the best we have experienced in Japan. The food experience was fantastic. The staff very nice and helpful. They have staff that can communicate in English which can be a struggle outside of big cities in Japan. Highly recommended it
