It was nice, but I wanted my food served in my room, but it was a buffet style. Otherwise the Hot Springs is nice along the river…..very big and if you’re looking for a small ryokan style this is not it. This is more for a group activities.

赤ちゃんとの宿泊のため事前に施設で準備できることを丁寧に教えてもらい安心して伺うことができました。食事はほかのお客さまと区切られてゆったり落ち着いていただくことができました。早朝の大浴場はほぼ貸切状態で、広々としてモダンな雰囲気に癒されました、大好きなリファ(シャワーヘッドとドライヤー)にテンションが上がりました。ひとつ残念だったのは貸切風呂が思ったより寛げなかったことです。とは言え全体としては大満足で家族の記念にまた訪れたいと思いました。

素晴らしい宿でした。 特に温泉は広くて、綺麗で最高でした。 平日に行ったので、宿泊客も比較的少ないのか、あの広い温泉を独り占めさせて頂きました。 一つだけ残念なことは禁煙室がとれず、部屋に若干煙草のニオイが残っていたことです。 それ以外は、食事も、部屋の大きさも、景色も、申し分ありません。

老舗とモダンの融合

歴史ある宿とのことで、事前のイメージは期待薄でしたが、良い意味で期待を裏切られました。 内装のキレイさ、清潔感、食事等ほぼ全ての項目で満点がつけられる内容。 歴史を感じながらも、随所に近代的な設備があり、不便なく快適でした。
