It is run down. The quality you would expect in a japanese inn would not be found here. Toilets have no heated air or seat. Shampoo and body soap all provided in sachets. Towels are thin. Bed sheets and pillows have hair. It is priced as a ryokan but it felt like a dorm

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The staff are nice. Breakfast included is ok. The biggest issue is the smell of the fuel used to heat the properties. Each room also has an air conditioning unit that can be used to heat the room but the insulation is not very good. The window is single pane and you can feel the cool when getting close. So they have a heater which burnt something like kerosene. It has an exhaust duct but is the a sealed unit. It is a potable unit but you cannot move much because of the duct. It can provide sufficient heat but the smell is horrible. They are using similar unit in the reception area and probably in other common area as well. I feel so much relief when a get outside and get the smell of fresh air even it it is cold. You also have to leave your shoe outside which becomes quite cold. Having storage inside would go a long way in winter time.

Nice ryokan, pretty quiet. Did not see any other guests when we were there. Had hotpot for dinner which was good and very filling! Meals can be requested by directly messaging the hotel on Facebook. Rooms were a little small for 3-4 people than what I would have preferred but it was a relatively comfortable size for a bunch of small-sized people. No heater in the toilet so might be a deal breaker for some people especially in the winter. Otherwise great service and nice place. There is also free pick up service from the station (which we did not utilise) and free parking on site.
