    The private onsen in the room is magical and quite big! It was perfect and enabled us to experience Japanese onsens as a family. The views from the room were amazing. The ryokan welcomes children and our son even got his own yokatta

    The scenery especially winter is great! Love the private onsen as it is not too old compared to using the public onsen especially during snowy winter! Room is pretty spacious, and meals are delicious and cultural!
