Excellent little ryokan, appreciate the attention to detail by the staff. They were happy to accommodate my request to adjust the meal for no fish and came up with alternative dishes. The private bath was great (albeit a bit too hot for a blistering 94 Fahrenheit day). If you are an early riser can even get the private bath before breakfast without reservation. Super close to Gora station. This was the second time staying here and would gladly do it again if I’m in the area. Aircon worked great on the hot day.

This is a great traditional style inn. Our room was comfortable and the food was incredible. We stayed 2 nights and both nights itwas the Kaiseki style meal. Mainly fish with one meat course. The quality was excellent. Breakfast was a very good, Japanese style meal. We also took advantage of the private onsen, which could be reserved at the reception.
