The owner of the Airbnb leaves there and she charged taxes for each person while the hotels charge per room. Bed sheets, pillow cases, and towels are very old.

Nice building. 160 years old geisha house. Worth experiencing a japanese style bedroom with tatami and futon. Owners are very kind and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful traditional Japanese ryokan located in a charming alleyway adorned with lovely red lanterns. The historic rooms are spacious, comfortable, and elegantly decorated, featuring stunning new bathrooms that added to the comfort. The host exemplified the true art of Japanese hospitality warm, friendly, and genuinely attentive. We truly appreciated the extra effort in setting up additional bedding for our family, preparing delicious matcha for us, accommodating our children so thoughtfully, and even providing a lovely souvenir as a memento of our stay. Thank you so much for making our visit so special. We highly recommend this hidden gem!

Definitely a great location. Over priced to for we got. Our room was in a maze of tiny hallways. Although clean, the room was a storage closet. Staff was kind, the inn keeper was okay.
