The owner was a lovely older man who was extremely friendly and helpful. Nice apartment with fully stocked kitchen and washing machine. Supplied everything we could want Had a/c which we didn't need to use since we could open windows and had a fan. Comfortable beds. I loved being in a quiet non-touristy neighborhood. Only a 10 minute walk to subway and 5 to bakery, grocery, etc.

I chose this ryokan because of its public and private onsen, and I wasn’t wrong! Both onsens were so amazing! The cost of the private one is very affordable and even more if you come with group. The locations also very convenient from Arimaonsen station.

    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!
