    It was the best experience ever. The service was top-notch, the breakfast was excellent, and the garden and room aesthetics were unforgettable.

    This place is a 10/10. Classic ryokan vibe and delicious food. We had the traditional dinner and there were a lot of courses. Traditional delicious small dishes (think tapas for those who may not be familiar-but a lot of them). Staff were amazing...
