    Cool traditional Ryokan, totally worth the experience. The staff was kind and left me hot tea and sweets upon check in. It is a Japanese style accomodation, sleeping on a futton in the floor but still comfortable. There's also a kimono to wear...

  • Does your hotel have parking area for car? If no parking, where can I park my car and how much the parking cost per hour and over night parking charges. Thank

    We don't have our own car parking. However, there are some parking lots ( 800 yen/24 hour) very near our inn.

  • Hello, We like your lovely Ryokan. We are a family of 4. Two kids are 18yrs and 15 yrs. We would like to stay in one room. Is that possible to add one futon or we share 3 futons in your Japanese-style superior room? We can pay the extra fee when arriving. Many thanks, John

    Thank you for sending us message. We think it is too small for 4 people to stay with the Superior Room. The maximum occupancy of Superior Room is 3 people. We recommend the Family Room for a family of 4. We hope we can be of assistance to you.
