    This is a very traditional, small yet exquisite Ryokan. We loved our stay here. The staff is very warm, caring and accommodating. The Gardens are beautiful and the rooms are immaculate. It is small, so best for quiet adults. Highly recommend.

    The breakfast was amazing. I would definitely recommend this. If you have it late in the morning, you will only need to eat a snack for lunch. And we enjoyed the traditional Japanese wooden bath. All of the staff are exceptional
