Stayed with family

We absolutely loved this place From the moment we arrived the staff were so friendly..helping us to book our shinkansen ticket online while we waited for check in. We had a welcome ceremony on arrival and daily the would make our beds or put them away. We also got to experience a traditional japanese breakfast which was so amazing and probably my biggest highlight.

The market is a 3-minute walk, plenty of good dining options and souvenirs. We loved the Ryokan experience, this was a huge room compared to our Tokyo's hotel room. The Japanese tea experience in room, and then the Japanese breakfast were outstanding. Great experience.
