This is a lovely 'boutique hotel' in an absolutely beautiful part of the area north of Nakanojo near Lake Okushima. I wanted a truly Japanese place and I got it. Few, if any, 'foreigners' in the area. I was provided a bike and road around for 3 hours. The owner is a beautiful, kind lady and her and her staff treated me like a king. I had a room with a private hot spring pool - all I can say is "wow". If you want to see a place off the beaten track, I highly recommend this hotel.

The property is very nice and calm. The staff was exceptionally nice and provided a good service. However our standard Japanese style room was a bit dark and the river was not visible due to trees.

Excellent Ryokan in Nakanojo

Family of 2 adults and 2 kids (12 and 8 yrs old). The ryokan was lovely and the rooms were good sized and very nice, with outdoor bath and patio overlooking the river. The service was very attentive and the staff very polite. Dinner and breakfast was very delicious and way too much. We loved it.
