The hosts were excellent, they gave great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. During the tea ceremonies we were able to learn a lot about this Japanese tradition.

The staff were so welcoming and made us feel at home. You can tell that they care so much about hospitality. We loved the tea ceremony, the Japanese breakfast, and the aroma of incense that filled the halls in the morning. We learned so much about the neighborhood from the staff. They also gave us great recommendations for dinner. We really enjoyed staying in an area that felt less touristy but was still very close to everything by bus.
Absolutely nothing!

My third time staying here! The hostess is so kind and helpful, the ambience is wonderful, and the breakfast is delicious. I wish I could have stayed here for my entire trip to Japan!
I don't really have anything to add here, except maybe just a notice to any early risers that you might miss out on the great breakfast if you leave to go temple-hopping before 9am. :)

Well designed. Warm. Nice bath. Good tea ceremony. Helpful and friendly staff.
A bit pricey, but it’s understandable for the number of staff.

The hosts are absolutely fantastic. The husband/wife take such care to honor Japanese traditions. The photos don’t do this beautiful ryokan justice, and one couldn’t capture the warmth of these proprietors in words if they tried. Couldn’t recommend more highly.
Not a thing!

Our stay here was phenomenal! The attention to detail from the staff was very apparent in the services they provided, from the tea ceremony to the public bath to the breakfast spread. We were also given great
recommendations for restaurants and nearby attractions. The staff also were very accommodating with me being vegetarian. Thank you so much, I will be back hopefully soon!

The stay was exceptional from beginning to end. The tea ceremony was unforgettable, the hot bath was one of the most relaxing experiences of my entire trip, and every detail of the ryokan felt thoughtful and genuine. The host went above and beyond in every way. This stay is one that my family will remember for many years.
There was nothing I disliked. Everything exceeded expectations.

The room was beautifully designed and comfortable. The exquisite tea ceremony helped us learn about Japanese culture and history, and the private onsen session was so soothing and relaxing. When we checked in we had some tea as welcome drinks served in a beautiful space next to a courtyard garden, and a wholesome breakfast the next day. We spent the afternoon exploring the neighborhood, amongst temples in serene natural settings nearby recommended by the host. My husband and I had a fantastic experience and would like to thank the hosts for their kind and thoughtful service during our stay.

This is a beautiful property that makes you feel like you are stepping back in time. Tatami mats, lovely traditional bath in addition to a western shower, kitchen and fridge for convenience, but the best thing of all was the incredible breakfast each morning! Full traditional Japanese style breakfasts blew us away. We loved this place so much.
Nothing!
Thank you for your information!
