We had the special guest room - wonderful view on the sea, the Tori and the mountains, lot of natural light & space, a bathtub in the room to take a hot bath (in addition to the private 30mn per room at the outdoor bath). Japanese dîner was delicious, the staff very professionnal, attentionate and caring all along our stay. The hôtel made sure to look for our luggages - either to collect them for us at the ferry pier when we arrived and to bring them back at the pier when taking our ferry to leave the Island - allowing us not to have to carry them and enjoy the walk and our day in the Island What a beautiful moment !

Our stay at the hotel was exceptional. We enjoyed every moment—from the staff, the ambiance, the room, and the place as a whole. A special mention goes to the dinner we had at the hotel, prepared by Chef Kenya Akita, who undoubtedly deserves three Michelin stars. Chef Akita, a Japanese culinary artist, trained for 13 years in France at a Michelin-starred restaurant before returning to Japan to adapt his extensive culinary expertise to the local cuisine. Every dish was outstanding, both in terms of flavors and aesthetic presentation. The meal was simply extraordinary. Don’t miss it!

Heavenly meals. Very kind staff. Gorgeous view. The location is hidden between the mountains next to a beautiful temple. Since it is not accessible by public transportation, they offer services to and from the station. They also drove us to the Adachi Museum.

Where to begin. You will experience not just any accommodation but the very best traditional Japanese accommodation and an immersive cultural experience with Western facilities. Huuuuge rooms fit for a guest of royalty, of which 100 yrs ago was in fact, the case. Lovely traditional garden courtyard awaits you for coffee after a traditional chef inspired breakfast.

The facility was very clean and the staff was exceptionally helpful and polite. The included dinner was very traditional and delicious. The ryokan is located perfectly within the historical quarter, so I very much recommend this place! We even got served tea after arrival and got our futons made for us during dinner time.

The property itself is old and in need of repair or rebuilding. The futons are small and thin, and the pillows are inadequate. However, the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Also, the evening dance, magic and comedy show performed by three octogenarian ladies and the younger staff is extremely entertaining. The hot spring is nice too.

Everything was excellent from the moment they pick you up at the ferry terminal. Traditional ryokan with modern amenities. Dinner was great and uniquely Japanese. Went to the onsen in the early morning and it was empty so I had the place to myself.

Lovely hotel with friendly staff. Room was spacious with a tatami area by the window. All amenities available by reception, with a large selection of yukata for use throughout the hotel and in the onsen on the 3rd floor. Free hotel parking is available.

The view from the bedroom, the free shuttle service from the port (also in the evening to go and see the Torii by night), the free pick up and drop off of luggage to go sightseeing hands-free before check in and after check out, the onsen; the confortable futon beds. the lounge downstairs, with the terrasse and the hammocks.

The ryokan is close to the train station. The room was very spacious, and the futons and pillows were great for sleeping. The robes for wearing indoors were really nice.

Beautiful Ryokan in an old traditional building with a, lovely garden, right next to the sea. I enjoyed my stay right from the start with the warm welcome at check-in (owner could speak some English - thank you). The room was like the photos promised, a cosy futon waiting for me (there was also a tasty lemon treat in the fridge). Although small, the bath was nice and I could relax after a day of cycling. Breakfast was also delicious. Next time, I'll book dinner as well.

Beautiful view of the shrine from this quiet ryokan up and away from the tourist commotion. Very helpful staff and amazing food. Appreciated the private onsen. Very clear directions and ideas from staff and help with transporting luggage. Would definitely come back!
