This is an old fashioned, very relaxing place at which I have stayed many time over 30 years. Nothing has changed and that is delightful. I hope to come back again.

Nice location. Very helpful and kind host. Private onsen was available and very nice with a view of the river. Tea and coffee in the shared dinning area were provided for free. We got a room with a window with a river view. You could hear the river in the room. It got a little cold at night but the bed was warm and a heater device was provided.

Lovely location on the river, near the woods. The private onsen was excellent - very hot and welcome after a cold day outside. Room was large. Possible to walk into town (25 mins) and to many attractions.

The staff were so helpful and gave excellent tourism information. I loved the onsen- perfect size and temperature. The location was a little removed from the busy area but an easy walk to everything. I loved the quiet location.

The on-site bath was fantastic. View of the stream outside. Sole use (users have to take it in turns but I was the only guest for most of the time I was there.) Manager was extremely kind and helpful guiding me to nearby restaurants and shops, as well as shrines and temples.

- Good location. A little away from the city, but still with good connections - Private onsen in the building, during low season it's easy to get in - Room was quiet and comfortable

This property offers you a welcoming feel in a quaint ryokan-style setting. The private onsen is lovely (although you sometimes have to wait a bit for it to be available) and the room was nice, in my case with tatami floor and futon. The heating worked well during my ‘snow’ visit and I liked the whole atmosphere. It is a popular place as it’s also right next to the row of Buddhas. You can walk from this hotel into town in about 25 minutes or go to the bus stop in 10. It’s near some restaurants and Nikki Coffee, and if you take 10 mins to walk to the Imperial Villa and garden, there’s the most amazing soba restaurant next to it. All the major temples are also walking distance. The breakfast looked good with lots of fruit, egg and toast. They have a machine for purchasing beer and soft drinks, and some snacks are for sale.

Very nice ryokan, big room, comfortable futons. The woman at the reception was so nice, she gave us a map and told us where we could find shops, restaurants etc. Spa has a really nice view at the river. The abbys with stone buddhas is only about 5-10 min walking.

This is a beautiful place to stay. I recommend getting the breakfast, it's simple but fresh and delicious. The staff were all very kind and helpful. Rooms are lovely and location next to the river makes it very relaxing. We had two children with us so ended up getting a taxi back to the station, it was a little tricky to get there with bags and kids but totally worth it!
