The staff was very helpful and professional. The hotel provides a bus service for the guests that are doing the Kumano Kodo trail which is fantastic. The private onsen is very nice. The dinner was extraordinary with many well prepared dishes.
Breakfast is very expensive. The beds were hard. The hotel needs a renovation.

A beautiful traditional ryokan
A beautiful traditional ryokan in a lovely location close to the hot springs. My stay included two full-course meals, which made the experience feel even more special. The staff were wonderful - everyone was very kind, attentive, and helpful. The room had traditional tatami flooring and was very comfortable. Everything was excellent, but the highlight for me was definitely the rotenburo, the open-air onsen. I would highly recommend this ryokan!
