MICHELIN GUIDE

The ryokan was renovated on its 50th anniversary; modern comforts were put in place, while retaining the Japanese atmosphere. Most rooms are Japanese-Western hybrids, but there are also Japanese-style and Western-style rooms. Ones facing south have views of the town and Gozu mountain range. The ‘Shikitei Iroha’ and ‘Satsukitei Yamanoha’ have a hinoki or ceramic bathtub that offers a fine view. The large communal baths have jade green water with a sulphur scent.
