We loved this hotel. For those who look for the authentic, this is your place. This is an old fashioned and well maintained ryokan; and it certainly looks from another era. 60’s style with a great location. The “Onsen” (hot bath) was great and the food was delicious and unique. We had a room with “futons” and nevertheless our western vertebrae managed a resting sleep on them. There are also rooms with proper beds, but we wanted to try something different. The staff was superb. Expect to have a smell of cold tobacco in some of the rooms. Keep im mind that Japan still allows indoor smoking in some places. This was not a big issues to us and we are both non-smokers.
