Wonderful 2 night stay in a great location with super friendly and lovely helpful staff, in a beautiful location. Despite my late arrival the hotel kept dinner for me and couldn’t have done more to be helpful during my stay. Great location for sunrise, sunset and anytime walks for photo ops at the famous Shinkyo bridge, and close to loads of shrines and temples right in the national park

Great location for sightseeing but not much more

We enjoyed being able to walk to the main sights and to / from the train station. The room had a nice view and traditional Japanese furniture. The hotel might be from the 1970s/ 1980s and have not been renovated in a long time. We tried the private family Onsen and it was quite disappointing. Not very clean and just tap water in a tub.. A dangerous feature is the hot water that’s burning hot in the showers, so be careful if you travel with children. The dinner and breakfast had a couple of tasty dishes but overall left us longing for the food at other Ryokans we have stayed at.
