A very nice Riokan with historic charm and great dinner experience in a nice and green surrounding.

9.0

Interiour design, historic charm, wooden brige, private bath, dinner concept.

The breakfast location falls a bit behind the great dinner location

L'authenticité historique du ryokan se sentait à tout coin. Même les sols qui grincent un peu ou les portes que ne se ferment pas correctement ajoutaient au charme.

Rien vraiment; on y vient sachant que c'est un ryokan ancien et ça répondait exactement à ces expectations. En plus, le service était impeccable.

Excellente expérience en Ryokan! un moment hors du temps!

9.0

Un lieu magique dans la nature avec vue sur la rivière et onsen public et privé (en supplément). Un repas hallucinant tant en qualité que quantité (bien trop d'ailleurs). Un personnel très accueillant!

L'accès un peu lointain mais en voiture cela n'est pas vraiment un problème car on en profité pour visiter le coin.

Traumhafte Zeitreise in authentischem Ambiente

9.0

Die Lage ist traumhaft, die Reise mit Bahn und Bus muss als Sightseeing gesehen werden. Das Gebäude ist historisch und atmet Geschichte. Wenn man über den Fluss in die Bäume schaut, ist man in einer ganz anderen Welt. Das Dinner im Yukata war ein wirkliches Erlebnis, dass ich für immer als große Besonderheit in Erinnerung behalten werde.

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Bad gebucht, hier war es zwar sauber, aber einiges könnte erneuert werden.

Vous allez vivre une expérience traditionnelle gastronomique. Les repas sont soigneusement préparer et très variés. Ceux qui n'aime pas goûter et on peur des textures s'abstenir. L'environnement est très relaxant.

Les lits et oreillers sont assez ferme mais pas la fin du monde!
