Comfortable Traditional Stay
“I stayed in a Japanese-Style Twin Room with a private bathroom, and it was an amazing experience. The room was spacious with tatami mats and equipped with futon beds that were incredibly comfortable. Every day, I looked forward to the freshly cleaned yukata provided. The traditional ambiance made the stay feel authentic and nice.” view full review

The public onsen experience was lovely, and I found the separate facilities for men and women to be very comfortable.” view full review
Authentic Ryokan Experience
“The bedroom was truly a journey into traditional Japanese culture. Sleeping on futons spread over tatami flooring was something I had always wanted to experience. The peacefulness of the room allowed for restful nights after exploring the city during the day. I felt so connected to Japanese customs during my stay.” view full review
Relaxing Onsen Experience
“I couldn't get enough of the onsen! It was a perfect way to unwind after long days of sightseeing. The onsen was well-kept and provided a serene atmosphere to relax and rejuvenate. I enjoyed meeting fellow guests there, and it added a social element to the experience, even better.” view full review
