Nothing special. Regular 3 star hotel. Breakfast fully booked, dinner fully booked that what we found out after making a room reservation. Small old rooms with tiny bathroom. Not cheap for what you get. Location is good.

Had an authentic Japanese ryokan experience. We opted for the Japanese style bedding with half board. So the complete tatami mats, sliding shoji doors and futton bedding. Dinner was Kaiseki, and fugu was on the menu, simply amazing! Staff is also very nice and polite. I definitely highly recommend Tsuyu Ryokan!
