Such a neat hotel nestled besides a picturesque river. The hotel feels nostalgic but very well maintained. The entire surrounding community is a throwback Show era town. Helpful staff at the reception desk and restaurant. Breakfast and lunch rotated between 2 menus but options were plentiful. This is my second visit to this hotel and it is in such a convenient location. Be sure to explore the Kinugawaonsen station and surrounding reservoirs and rural communities.

Awesome ryokan located in a super cool spot in Kinugawa. Our room was large and had a great view of the suspension bridge going over the river. The room smelled like hay but I think that was from the new tatami mats in our room, which for that reason I don’t mind. Hotel is old but extremely clean and well-maintained. Onsen is great and there are also private baths available for rental. This is my second time staying here and I would 100% stay again in the future.
