Overall a very wonderful Ryokan expierence! We paid for both the dinner and breakfast, both of which were very sensible and delicious. I do believe that it is worth the extra added cost, especially the dinner, which is served in our room. The breakfast was served in a dining room on the 2nd floor, which was still nice but definitely a different feeling. We had the choice to choose from three different time slots: I think we ate at 6:30PM (latest available) and 8:00 AM (2nd option). I will say in terms of service, that I did not feel like the staff was very involved in the process of the expierence as much as I had hoped. For dinner we had a little English menu to explain the dishes in front of us, but this was not true for breakfast. For some members of our party who were unfamiliar with Japanese food, a little explaination would have been wonderful. I felt similarly about the lack of explaination about the public baths and our yukatas. Perhaps this expection was unrealistic and imposing of me, but something to note for those who had a similar expectation. For my party, we were shown our rooms, explained the TV remote and left alone for the entirety of the stay. Note on public bath- it is TINY. Do not come with the expectation of a proper onsen type bath. It comfortably fits 4 ppl MAX. Bedroom was beautiful and clean, futon beds were firm but comfortable. They allow you to store luggage after checkout which was very wondeful. We stored until 3PM for free.

Overall it was a bit overrated. The pictures did not exactly correspond to the real situation, probably it used to be like that once upon a time, but it needs to be updated for sure. The experience was ok. The area was comfortable and quiet. The hotel was warm and clean, the room was spacious, but a bit worn. The ratio price-service was acceptable.

Great location, excellent staff, great traditional food, beautiful traditional onsen and Japanese sleeping experience. Gave it a low rating because over priced at $350 per night. Would have given 5 stars if everything was the same, but price was $100 less. I wish the women's onsen had a English language directions (apparently the men's did).
