First and foremost: This is not a hotel for extended stay. This is an unforgettable experience for a day. You are expected to mostly stay at this traditional hotel and relax as much as possible.
The rooms are spacious, and the beds are comfortable. Each room has its own outside onsen (hot spring bath). Tip: take a room on the first floor, those bathtubs are carved out of a solid block of stone. The water itself is very hot, but feels absolutely divine and did wonders for my skin.
The meals are crazy good. The dinner menu was ~10 courses with locally sourced ingredients. The waiter, general manager and owner took turns explaining in intricate detail what each course meant, where it came from, and why they chose to present it to us. I'm pretty sure the owner also mentioned the cook had a Michelin star - which would explain the unconventional, but delicious creations.
The breakfast was Japanese-style, and also very good.
I'm not sure what else I should add - the intricate eye for detail and attention the staff gave us (I felt so bad seeing the small Japanese woman carry my heavy luggage to my room, but I wasn't allowed to carry it myself, haha); the free bar with the expensive alcohol at night; the modern interpretation of old history...
Not to mention the other included amenities: a shuttle bus, an early tour, live soba making, sake tasting [...]
It is pricey, but again: you are NOT paying for a simple hotel night, you are paying for an experience. Full recommendation.

We would definitely recommend this ryokan as the staff was warm, helpful and considerate, the room was spacious and nicely decorated, the baths were indoor but had large windows with a nice view of a japanese garden, and the food was very very good; the staff could even accomodate the needs of my vegetarian partner.
The price was also really convenient. In conclusion, we had a wonderful experience during our stay there.

Getting to the Ryokan was straight forward. Taxis were mostly Toyota Yaris’ which made fitting two large suitcases impossible. A lovely local organised a larger taxi for us.
Upon arriving, the staff were very hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable. They tried their absolute best to communicate with two native English speakers. Dinner was amazing, offering a wide variety of fresh food. Breakfast was equally amazing. The room was clean and very well presented. The private onsen was the highlight for sure!
Overall, this was a very memorable experience and I would highly recommend it.

The breakfast buffet was tasty and the public bath with tatami were nice.
The Hotel surroundings are good for strolling and enjoy foot bath and local izakayas.
