We had a wonderful stay at Nanten. We really wanted to experience a traditional ryokan, and we were lucky that this was the perfect choice. The staff were lovely, very welcoming and informative. The dinner (11 courses) was exceptional, and beautifully served, as was the breakfast. The location was very convenient - we travelled there from Osaka, it took just over an hour (2 trains), and the ryokan is then just 100 metres from the train station, it couldn't have been easier.
