My family generally enjoyed this traditional Japanese experience. The staff was absolutely wonderful, attentive, and friendly. The onsen on our deck was lovely, and we enjoyed our allotted 30 minutes in a private onsen elsewhere on the property.
However, our room was old and smelled strongly of mildew. There was water damage on the ceiling and the wall. I opened the windows, but it only mitigated the smell so much.
The futon mats were also very uncomfortable to sleep on. Even my kids complained about how uncomfortable they were, and they can usually sleep anywhere. We had a poor night's sleep and were happy to check out the next day.
Finally, the food was not to our liking. I recognize this is probably just a cultural difference, but we are very adventurous eaters and we felt we needed to choke down our 8-course dinner as to not offend the staff.
Overall, we appreciated the ryokan experience and highly praise the staff, but we would not return to this location.
