I stayed in a detached house. The room was large, clean and good. It is difficult to understand how to unlock and lock the key.The food was delicious. It's not aimed at children, so there were almost no side dishes that small children could eat.The indoor bath was small and narrow, and lacked any charm, but the quality of the spring water was good.It would have been even better if the staff were friendly and the customer service was polite. There are no shops around, so it's a good idea to buy what you need in advance.

Because the reviews were goodI expected too much...Is this all you have to cook? I also didn't have the salt-grilled sweetfish that I was looking forward to.The fried eggs for breakfast were terrible.Although it was a separate room, floss was left in front of the refrigerator. shock. What about cleaning? !The bath was small, but the hot water was nice and thick.It was a shame as I was looking forward to it.

I like the hot springs at Ryujin Onsen and this is my third visit.This was my first time using Ryokan Sakai.As everyone has commented, the food is very delicious and the hot food is freshly prepared, and I was completely satisfied with everything from the river fish to the wagyu beef.Although the building has become obsolete due to aging, it was kept well-maintained and comfortable.The hot water was creamy and felt great, as expected from one of Japan's top three beauty hot springs.

Ryokan Sakai is an inn very close to Ryujin Onsen Motoyu. You will cross a suspension bridge to get to Ryujin Onsen Motoyu, but Ryujin Onsen Motoyu is crowded with many day-trippers. Ryokan Sakai is a relaxing inn run by friendly employees. Meals are served in the room, and I was very satisfied with the taste and quantity of the river fish and meat dishes.
