Would recommend a western bed rather than sleeping traditional style on the floor but that was totally our choice. Bath facilities downstairs are great and can book private couples baths. View was poor and aircons for building next door noisy through closed windows. ##### Jason Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Isabella 8 Dec 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room was spotless, amenities were wonderful. The rooms are big enough for large suitcases which we greatly appreciated! It is conveniently located just a few blocks from the main station. A bit further away from main turist attractions but transportation is pretty accesible. Having a few extra pillows would've been nice as we were provided with just one small one, but we understand this was a traditional ryokan. The onsen was also super nice and they have a tattoo friendly onsen. ##### Isabella Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Micaela Stefania 29 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place and very safe ##### Micaela Stefania Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Evelyn 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the Japanese style hotel. ##### Evelyn Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul M 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A newly renovated hotel.
