  Amazing, beautiful, and unique. A step into old Japan with traditional living quarter experiences. A 130 year hotel with modern conveniences . The owners provided such good, kind service.

  Loved this Ryokan! We wanted to have the experience of staying at a traditional inn and this was lovely. The managers are lovely and very helpful, and you can't beat the location (close to transit, lots of restaurants and the temple). Highly recommended!

  Holy. What a unique traditional Japanese stay. It's unlike anything if you've been doing the classic hotel stays in your time in Japan. The service is beautiful, run by the elderly couple. They would put out our shoes knowing we were last to leave the place - just so thoughtful and even gave us hand warmers when it was freezing. The Onsen in the spot is a treat. Very small like a public onsen in Japan - super hot. Very unlikely to be overpacked and usually will be the only one (if you're not comfortable with onsen experiences haha...). Loved everything about this stay. And the location is great too. Highly recommend if you want to have a very memorable experience in Japan.

  Convenient spot right across the bus stop (do not get off at gondo train station and walk, it’s very far, take a bus instead). Rooms are very nice, clean, and traditional. The old couple who own the inn are super super nice and thoughtful people, you should come stay just to meet them haha… they saw us outside wanting to try a tonkatsu nearby, and even ran back to get a discount voucher for us 🥹

  とても良かったです。We booked the same day and ended up being the only two staying. The building was amazing. It was traditional Japan at its best. The bath was cool, and the room was perfect. We really enjoyed the hospitality of the hosts and the brief one night stay. If I come back to Japan anytime soon I will make sure to visit this Ryokan again!!
