This ryokan is the real deal - simple accommodations, friendly and helpful staff, the use of nature in the comfortable design, and best of all... affordable. As you look around, you can't help but to feel what Japan must have been like 50 years ago - before all the neon sprouted up. Take comfort in the simple pleasures... a good night's sleep, a tasty breakfast and a relaxing soak in the communal o-furo (shared bath).
