    The room is a bit old, but nothing too bad.

    The staff was really nice, and the meals were great. 10 minute walk from the station and the gorge. We really appreciated that a washing machine/dryer was in the hotel.

    The Ryokan is just the most intimite and authentic place you can find! You imagine yourself being in an old black and white movie, the wood, the furniture everything so delicate and Well taken care of. And the best breakfast with the tastiest modo-soup.

    The room was a little cold, but the staff Misato was eager to help me turn on extra heater to make my stay comfortable.

    The staff and chef were extremely hospitable and nice. The food was amazing, especially the muscat and pear cake! It’s one of the best I’ve had.

    even though i asked for a quite room, my room was not quite at all and every morning housekeepers were extremely noisy.. since the check out time is 10am i believe it would be much nicer to start cleaning the rooms and common areas after that time.. only 1 or 2 other rooms were occupied during my stay that's why i found it a bit disrespectful to start cleaning while guests are in their rooms =(

    i liked the room the way it is, for me it was quite charming.. wet areas were renovated and comfortable enough.. breakfast was okay but i really liked the dinner.. Sunawara-san is an excellent cook and I was looking forward to his dishes every day ^^
