Tanabe was, without question, the saddest and most depressing stay we have ever had in Japan.|Ryokan Tanabe has the vibe of a run-down fleabag hotel from the 1950’s. It’s dingy and has a mildew smell throughout. …

Totally excessive price for the quality of the rooms. It has no common areas, beyond an Onsen that consists of two individual water buckets and a pool that does not exceed 4 m2.Mediocre dinner and worse breakfast.Very disappointing!
