Second time I stayed here. Just as amazing as before. Definitely a good place to stay if you want to be in an onsen town and have a nice bath. Highly recommend the dinner and breakfast. Great staff.

Paul Netherlands

The location is perfect, room is very clean, dinner also delicious.

Carolleon Hong Kong

The hospitality of the host (not sure if it was the owner) was amazing. I had mentioned when I would arrive and I was picked up (even though it's quite close to the bus terminal). The level of English is not the highest, but the host has a cheat-sheet and is very understanding. Both the dinner and breakfast were amazing and exactly what I expected from traditional meals. The onsen was lovely too, especially in winter!

Paul Netherlands

Very traditional Japanese ryokan with super friendly staff and a nice onsen. The Japanese breakfast was an amazing experience.

Michael Germany

The staff was very kind. The breakfast, onsen and room was amazing! I wish I could have stayed longer and I will defiantly make a point to return.

Allegra Canada

Best accommodation we have had in Japan, and we slept in 34 different accommodations during our trip!! The room was very spacious and traditional. The private onsen and public onsen were better than we expected!! Actually everything about the ryokan was! Mr Tanaka was helping us wherever he could and was very friendly. I recommend this ryokan to everyone.

Elisesn Netherlands

Everything was perfect. The owners were super kind, the food was really good, the room was amazing and the onsen too. Probably overall best value for money ever.

Sebastián Japan

The hotel is only 4 mins walk from the highway bus stop. The dinner was so so good and the traditional breakfast was nice too. Other than the public onsen, you could enjoy the private onsen looking at the beautiful stars. Wonderful Japanese experience and very good value for money.

Lai Australia

Besides the amazing outdoor private onsen, excellent dinner and the kindest hosts.

Vasco Portugal

This was our first stay in a ryokan and we were very pleased. Owner Manabu spoke very little English but there was a bilingual information booklet. We opted to have breakfast and dinner during our stay and the meals were excellent and plentiful. Manabu’s parents had operated a restaurant prior to the opening of the ryokan and the food was beautifully presented and perfectly seasoned. We slept on tatami mats and our futon beds were so comfortable. There was something almost magical in the way our room would be transformed when we went down for meals. Our beds would be laid out when we returned from dinner and would be put away when we returned from breakfast. We especially enjoyed the private outdoor onsen.

This property is a ryokan, which is a type of traditional Japanese Inn. Learn more

  • What's a ryokan?
    A ryokan is a traditional Japanese inn. They usually feature bathhouses, multicourse dinners, communal spaces where guests can relax, and rooms with woven-straw flooring and futon mats. Like hotels, a range of ryokans (from budget to luxury) is available. What originated centuries ago as a free rest house for long-distance travelers has evolved into a popular destination for relaxation surrounded by therapeutic mineral springs.
  • What are the big differences between a ryokan and a hotel?
    Unlike a hotel, where the guest room is just a place to turn in for the night, a ryokan is more than just a place to sleep. In Japan, many travelers journey long distances to relax in a hot spring bath and feast on a traditional multicourse dinner – staying in a ryokan is an experience in and of itself. These ryokans typically have Japanese-style rooms with woven-straw floors and futon beds (no Western beds and carpeting). You should also remove your shoes at the entrance of the room, or before you enter it. Modern ryokans might serve buffet-style meals in a dining area, while more traditional ryokans tend to serve in-room dinners. Some ryokan rooms have a private bathroom, and others might just have a shared bathroom.
  • What's a kaiseki meal?
    Kaiseki is the culinary highlight at a ryokan, embodying beautifully presented dishes that delight both the palate and the eyes. Every one of the 10 to 15 dishes that make up the multicourse Japanese dinner is prepared in a way that highlights the unique textures, colors, and flavors of featured seasonal ingredients and local specialties. Most commonly served at special restaurants and ryokans, a traditional kaiseki dinner usually consists of bite-size appetizers, fresh sashimi (raw fish, like sushi), soup, grilled fish or meat, a hot-pot dish, rice with miso soup, and a small dessert.
  • What's a yukata?
    A yukata is a casual summer kimono or robe, typically made of light cotton. Many ryokans provide guests with yukata robes during their stay. In some areas, it's common to see guests strolling through the neighborhood in their yukatas. The loose-fitting garment is perfect for sleeping and relaxing in.
  • How should I wear a yukata?
    First, put your arms through the sleeves like you would with a robe. Take the right side of the yukata and wrap it across your body. Then, take the left side and wrap it over the right, making sure that the robe is level at your ankles. Pinning the yukata closed on the right side, wrap the sash around your waist a couple of times and then tie a bow. Generally, the bow is tied around the waist for women, and the hips for men.
  • What's a Japanese hot spring (onsen)?
    Onsen (literally "hot spring") is a term often used to refer to both the mineral-rich hot springs and the bathing facilities that house them. Whether the bath is public or private, gender-segregated or mixed, indoor or outdoor, soaking and unwinding in the soothing geothermal waters at an onsen is a millennia-old custom deeply embedded in Japanese culture.
  • What's standard bathing etiquette?
    At a bathhouse—onsen or not—guests are expected to remove all clothing in their respective changing rooms before entering the bathing area. As a common courtesy, once inside the bathing area, guests should wash and rinse their bodies thoroughly before quietly stepping into the hot water. Whether you relax in solitude or converse softly with others is up to you, but guests should always be mindful of others. Wash towels are often used to cover one’s private areas while walking around. However, note that you should not put towels in the water.
  • Why are tattoos not allowed?
    While tattoos have become more popular among Japan's youth, many Japanese people still associate them with outlaws and organized crime. Nowadays, not all businesses ban customers with tattoos, but you might still be refused admission to bathhouses and swimming pools. Small tattoos can be covered up using waterproof bandaids, but keep in mind that each property has the final say on what’s acceptable.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.1 for a two-person trip.
