"A very different experience for a foreigner, and one that I cherished as a student of Buddhism. If you aren’t adventurous, I don’t recommend it, and if you go, please be curious, open, and full of respect. The non-sleeping rooms will be very cold in winter, the food served is the food served, without changes available, there are rules about which slippers to wear where and what can be photographed, etc. If you’re interested in deep travel (versus hedonism), you will be gifted and changed....

"Friendly ryokan style hotel with onsen and hot-stone sauna. Our room had a nice outdoor shower and private onsen. The restaurant served amazing food. It’s a popular family onsen, so expect it to be lively, especially during weekends. Absolutely recommended. "

"Not good for senior."

"Molto comodo a tutto (a due passi dalla fermata 7 dell'autobus). Struttura impeccabile. Staff estremamente gentile e cordiale. Colazione ottima."

"ใกล้สถานีรถไฟมา ออกจากสถานีเดินออกมานิดเดียวถึงเลย ห้องไม่เล็กไม่ใหญ่ มีข้อเสียเดียวคือแอร์ปรับเองไม่ได้"
