Spacious room with a nice view, great in-house onsens alternating between male and female use at different times of the day, and a cozy coffee room offering complimentary coffee and tea. The staff was very kind and included members with a good command of English. Convenient location, close to the train station and the town's main attractions.

Meals were excellent. It was the best buffet I've had. It was easy to get to the downtown district of Kobe and a bonus that it was easy access to the airport limosine bus to get to kansai

The breakfast was amazing. It was delivered to my room and had little plates of different things. The private onsen reservations were so lovely and outdoor so you can see into the garden. The staff was really helpful and would drive us anywhere in the town as part of the service.

Traditional ryokan with small onsen as part of the hotel. They are private onsen, so you can go there as a couple / family. Definitely recommend to book the dinner even if it seems bit expensive. It is worth it! Best experience we had in Japan.

We had a traditional style room with dinner and breakfast served in the room, and with a private spa tub in the bathroom. The service during the meals was out of this world, and the food was varied and really high quality. As westerners, some of the food was a bit too exotic for us, but it was more than enough food anyway. The beef was really good. We experienced both one of the private spas and the natural public spa, and they were both wonderful. The spa tub in the room was also amazing, and it's such a treat to get right into a really hot bath straight from bed. With a wonderful view, no less. This was an exceptional experience and is truly recommended.

The ryokan is small, it has only a few rooms, so you can feel private there. The food was beyond great, tasty and the portions were large. The onsen was clean, with a great outdoor pool. Since the hotel is small, you had complete privacy in the onsen. The service was top notch. The ladies took care of us like their own members of the family. I recommend this place.

The outdoor private onsens were amazing. Booking them was easy and there was always availability. It's really not necessary to get the in-room onsen. The yukata and japanese pj's which were provided were also great quality. I now regret not buying some :) There are some great hiking trails and a hilltop shrine near the hotel, which are very quiet and secluded.

Gorgeous ryokan with good onsens. It was my first traditional Japanese hotel and onsen, so I was very impressed by hospitality, kaiseki dinner, the view, the room with tatami, yukata and hot springs. Totally recommend it!
