It was a hot spring inn with a history of over 100 years. I was surprised by the rice cooked in the hot springs.

I stayed there two years ago and it was very good, so I went back in October, but was disappointed by the decline in the quality of the accommodation.Booked a plan for 22,000 yen per person, including 1 night and 2 meals.Upon arrival, the man at the front desk seemed indifferent and opportunistic.The room is on the first floor next to the front desk, where employees come and go, and I can hear their voices. (I had made a reservation in June, but it was written that there would be 1st and 2nd floors depending on the reservation status, so I couldn't help it.)As soon as I entered the room, two people paid 40,000 yen for a room like this? I was surprised.The alcove was dirty and the flower arrangement was withering (Ikebana flowers are meant to express the spirit of hospitality, so it's common knowledge at a ryokan to decorate them beautifully), the walls of the air conditioner were black and dirty, probably due to water droplets, and the room smelled of mold.The futon was also damp and uncomfortable.I'm not a nervous person, but it didn't feel clean or comfortable.I have stayed at many old inns in the past, and even though the facilities at each inn are old, I have always felt that they have taken good care of and maintained the facilities. That spirit doesn't seem to exist here.The bath was nice, the food was delicious, and I think Mr. Nakai was doing his best, but I don't think it's worth the price.When I left, there was someone who appeared to be the landlady at the door, but she didn't speak to me, she just stood there. At the end, you said thank you, but...I couldn't feel the care of hospitality until the very end, and I couldn't believe it was a long-established inn. It's a shame.

If you want the real ryokan experience, then come here. I could not recommend this enough.I stayed in 3 ryokan over my trip and this was the most traditional and beautiful. It is an experience that I will remember for ever. The room was very comfortable, and their service was so Japanese and sweet.The food. Oh wow! Amazing. All served inside your room.

As soon as I entered the inn, I was greeted with a smile.The room was spacious and had a great view of the river!Mr. Nakai was also a wonderful person.The indoor bath, open-air bath, steam bath, and room bath are also great.The best I've ever stayed in! Ranked in the top 3 best hot spring inns♪There will be so much food that you won't be able to finish it♪The shabu-shabu meat was thick and voluminous.I will definitely go again♪

Used on a day trip.Like the public bath, there is a samashi-yu, which you can bathe in the source itself. However, we recommend staying at an inn as it is less crowded and more comfortable.I wanted to use it for an overnight stay.

It's been a while since I came here, but the quality of the spring water was still as good as ever. I don't think the scent of Japanese clover was transferred to an unsophisticated traveler like me, but the Japanese Japanese clover in front of the inn gave me the feeling of traveling. This is the kind of hospitality you can expect from a long-established inn.

For all those people complained about this hotel being old, they should just stay in big cities and stay at Marriott or Hilton or even newer motels.For those seek authenticity and history and traditions, then Ryokan Adumaya is a must do. Along with it's full dinner and breakfast options. This place is a throwback in time. The current building is about 60 to 80 years old, one of the few remaining all wood construction left in this tiny town or surrounding areas. But the ryokan has been around for more than 200 years hosting onsen guests and kodo travelers.Conveniently located by the bus stop (well the town is about 209 feet to start with), this ryokan is right across from the public onsen, aka town center, and overlooks all that goes on here. Kodo path travels through 50 feet away, while numerous footpath leads to hongu shrine and a local shrine on top of a rock.The ryokan has its own onsens. Outdoor onsens have beautifully manicured landscapes and indoor onsens are those of classic wood pools. There is even a small private onsen.The rooms are spacious with tatami rooms. All amenities are provided including wood flippers.Then there is the set meals. What a experience. Our family has uniformly votes this as the most unforgettable meal on the trip so far (and probably overall). 14 course dinner room service after onsen is just an out of world experience. From sashimi to shabushabu with local beef to grill fish to some of the best rice we had ever had,it is just beyond amazing. The 10 course breakfast isn't far behind either... Words can do little justice. Kudos to my wife to making the choice to stay here and get the meal options.Overall, this is a hard to find rare gem--it may not survive much longer if people are only spoiled to seek out modern conveniences. Get here and experience yourself before all is lost
