Lovely place. The baths were one of the best we have experienced in Japan. The food experience was fantastic. The staff very nice and helpful. They have staff that can communicate in English which can be a struggle outside of big cities in Japan. Highly recommended it

Wonderful stay. Impeccable service. Remote but rustically decadent. So relaxing and cozy during our stay between fall and winter. We missed the peak fall leaves but that did not detract from the natural beauty of this area and we still enjoyed the waterfalls of Oirase gorge and the small loop around Tsuta pond greatly. If anything the onsens were even more enjoyable in the cold weather, and we were grateful to have the opportunity to stay in such a historic and well-kept ryokan.

Five ryokans spanning 3 prefectures over 8 days in search of classical beauty of fall foliage in Northern Honshu culminated at this place. It's not the most luxurious nor the best amenities, but one word to sum it up: timeless. The onsen facility is old but well maintained, however it is somehow the most memorable. Perhaps the history of this place leaves more impact. It's the most expensive of the other ryokans hence we only stayed for a night, and it's well worth it. The kaiseki dinner and the breakfast are very solid, serving local ingredients such as the fish freshly caught from nearby Towada lake. We splurged and picked かつら (room 302) which is larger than the standard rooms. Highly recommended.

特別室「鶴寛」に宿泊。足元から源泉が湧き出す「源泉湧き流し」の湯は、空気に触れていない生の温泉で、木造の湯殿に響く湯の音も含めて特別な体験でした。無色透明の芒硝泉で、身体の芯からじっくり温まります。 夕食では総料理長さんが直々にご挨拶と説明をしてくださり、一品一品に込められた背景を聞きながらいただく食事は格別でした。細やかな対応も印象的でした。 リニューアルしてとても清潔で便利な西館、本館は歴史を感じる造りで、それも含めて趣のある滞在です。奥入瀬渓流や十和田湖観光の拠点としても便利な立地。静かに贅沢な時間を過ごしたい方に強くおすすめできる宿です。
