For those who want to experience authentic Japanese ryokan, this is the place! It has good room with a living area and garden view. It has wonderful big onsen (real hot spring, not just hot water). Japanese breakfast is delicious and wide spread.
Just take note, there is no shower facility in the room (toilet yes). You need to go to the onsen to shower. There are one onsen for men and one for women. It's a little awkward at first, but hey, you're asking for authentic Japanese experience!!
The staff is wonderful! The lady manager (Ayumi?) speaks more English, super friendly and cheerful. Very attentive. The other male staff are very polite and friendly too.
1 super plus point: they have free shuttle to take you to town and pick you up all the time. Just call them. This is excellent and that saves you a lot of money on bus.
Overall, highly recommended!
** We were there on 15-16 October 2016 to see the foliage, unfortunately the leaves were still green.More
