First ryokan experience, arrived on a rainy day but greeted by warm welcome, sensitive reception and service. Room spacious with good lake view. Enjoyed spring water bath in own room. There was a library at lobby where one can read and drink. Dinner and breakfast impressive in food presentation and service. Thanks Ms 矢島 who served our food. Highly recommended. Suggested to go by driving, it's a bit clumsy to go by bus or call a taxi.
