10/10 – Enestående
2. juli 2024
A “boutique” ryokan experience which exceeded all our expectations! If you seek a very authentic, “non-touristy” experience in a peaceful mountain setting, and appreciate excellent service, combined with authentic local charm, I can’t recommend this charming inn enough. Our large tatami mat room (beds are Japanese futon, and there is a private washroom) had a generous view of the mountains and valley below, and the countless small rice paddies beginning to sprout (we visited in Spring). The large onsen bath area was reserved for our private use, and included both an indoor and outdoor mineral pool. The kaiseki dining experience, in a private dining room (you can also choose to be served in your suite) was probably what amazed us the most - a seemingly endless bacchanal of specially prepared, and beautifully presented traditional and regional courses. My wife and I found it difficult to imagine that an Edo emperor would have enjoyed a more lavish feast! Though the room rate here is not inexpensive, such a dining experience alone could easily cost the same. Finally, the very friendly and helpful staff exceeded all our expectations. We didn’t have a car, but they kindly drove us to/from the train station, as well as to the local sake brewery and visitor center. This was an unforgettable experience!
