    This was probably one of the best experiences I had in Japan. The owner made us feel welcome to the Ryokan. She prepared the private onsen for us. Everything was extremely clean. The breakfast was amazing.

Takeshi Kaminaka
It is a small hotel of the homey atmosphere. However, the traditional inn, style of Japan is space not to be able to taste in the others. There is a Japanese traditional Japanese garden in spite of a location of a 3-minute walk from the station. The meal provides a traditional Kaiseki meal served . The traditional Japanese music supports all the staff, and it comes above all. Japanese dance, samisen, hand drum, instructor, Natori gathers three. I can experience Japanese traditional music. Please come to the memory of the trip♪
Ryokan Kaminaka is only the Japanese staff liking being traditional. I am a chef of the Japanese food. And it is an instructor of the traditional arts Japanese dance of Japan. I was brought up in traditional space of Japan, but NFL loves the hobby. I can watch NFL broadcast in Japan. The story about traditional arts of Japan. Story of NFL Please call out to me.
