    “The ryokan I've been dreaming of.”

    Everything was great from start to finish. The staff was friendly, and the ryokan was elegant and beautiful, fitting for its long history. The room was spacious and clean, and the outside view was satisfying. The onsen had a variety of types, making it enjoyable to explore, and it was always kept clean regardless of when you went. The kaiseki meal was delightful with a variety of ingredients and flavors, making it a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you're bringing your parents.

    “Exceptional”

    This was my first time staying at a ryokan with my family, and it exceeded my expectations in satisfaction. As soon as we arrived, the staff kindly welcomed us, which made me feel good. The garden was beautifully arranged, and just walking around felt pleasant, giving the impression of being in a painting filled with the unique atmosphere of Japan. Nearby the ryokan, there was a bamboo forest, making it perfect for morning or evening walks. Upon entering the room, a subtle scent of wood filled the air, creating a different feeling from other accommodations, and the traditional Japanese interior allowed us to appreciate the charm of Japanese culture. The hot springs had clean water and an appropriate temperature, so it was comfortable to stay for a long time. Especially in the outdoor hot spring, we could soak in warm water while looking at the sky, which satisfied my family the most. Overall, both the facilities and service were perfect, and it was a place that showed thoughtful consideration. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy a leisurely time while experiencing the atmosphere of Japan.

    この度はご宿泊くださいまして誠に有難うございました。 ご家族皆様に期待以上にご満足いただけましたようで、大変うれしく思います。 当館は純和風日本建築の建物で、庭園や温泉などと合わせて日本の歴史文化を感じていただけたことと思います。 旅館周辺の観光名所である竹林の小径や修禅寺なども徒歩5分圏内で、散策にも便利な立地となっております。 温泉は肌に優しいアルカリ性単純温泉で、別名美肌の湯とも呼ばれております。湯あたりしにくく、何度のお入りいただけますし、お肌がすべすべになります。 これからの季節は紅葉がとても綺麗にご覧いただけます。 またのご来館、心よりお待ちしております。

    “Best ryokan!”

    I traveled to Shizuoka with my parents and it was my first time at a ryokan, and I was really very satisfied! The staff were very kind and took care of everything, so I think it will be remembered as a wonderful memory of my trip to Japan. There are several hot springs inside, and I recommend arriving at the accommodation early to try them all out! Especially the outdoor bath was really great!! The meals were seafood kaiseki, so there were some unfamiliar dishes, but they were so thoughtfully prepared that I was able to enjoy them a lot. There is a separate parking lot, which made parking very convenient and I liked that a lot!! I really want to go again! It was the best 😊

    Thank you very much for staying with us. We are delighted to hear that your first ryokan experience with your parents. You enjoyed our various hot spring baths—especially the open‑air rotenburo—and that our staff’s hospitality made your stay even more special. We are also glad that you found the kaiseki meal enjoyable. Hearing that you would like to visit again is the greatest compliment we could receive. We look forward to welcoming you back and unforgettable stay.

    “I was generally satisfied in all aspects.”

    I had a good rest with comfortable relaxation and good food. However, there were some disappointments because I couldn't speak Japanese. I was also disappointed that the staff member responsible for my room did not speak English.

    “Wonderful place to stay!”

    We stayed here for our honeymoon trip and it was a nice relaxing break from all of our city travels. The staff is very kind, the environment is relaxing, the town still has beautiful historical places to visit as well.
