It was the fasting month of Ramadhan so I couldn't take the breakfast package and didn't have the chance to dine at the restaurant either. Location is superb, walk underground using the Porta Dining route then exit to get straight to the Ryokan
I love everything about the place. A small improvement would be to add proper bath mats. One medium size towel is provided daily but as there is no bath mat provided, we use that medium towel as bath mats. Hence we have no extra towel to dry hair

The property was clean both in the public areas and in the private rooms. It smelled so nice too! When we couldn’t get cleaning service when one of our family members was sick and rested in the room, the cleaning staff put an entire bag of fresh towels, sundries, and snacks outside for us. The onsen and laundry facilities were very convenient too.
Rooms and bathrooms are small, but that is typical in Japanese hotels.

Staff couldn’t be more attentive. Facilities excellent and clean. Very quiet. Great night sleep. Breakfast amazing. Location just what you need when visiting the area. Literally 2 minutes from the train station. Great value for money. The water wall and area to chill out in is just lovely and calming. Would highly recommend.
All fantastic. I have no complaints

Location was very convenient. Facility was clean, quiet and beautiful. Meals were very traditional and delicious. Baths were convenient.
Meals in the room would have been a nice touch. This was our expectation based on previous Ryokan stays. However, the dining area and staff were quite nice.

New gen ryokan, you still have your tv and mini fridge and all those facilities but you still get the traditional experience. Hot showers were so private and relaxing!
Couldn’t open the windows

Modern ryokan with awesome meals. Meals are made with great effort and creative touch.
It lacks a little traditional vibe.

Close to railway station
Hotel pictures on booking were misleading. Hotel has nothing in common with Ryokan. That’s a typical hotel room made out of very cheap materials such as plastic etc. so called futons (which were regular mattresses) were very uncomfortable.
