Anyway kindI'm always helped.There are many foreign customers. Good cost performance.The food is bland and satisfying with a wide variety.To be honest, the road is narrow and there are many pedestrians depending on the time of day, and the contracted parking lot is a little far away, so it may be inconvenient for people with large cars.

We arrived by bus, a bus which stops right in front of the tourist office. We were kindly explained that this guesthouse was a 10-minute walk away and we went there with our suitcases. …

The very nice owner is happy to explain the nuances of staying in a ryokan to Western barbarians. She will probably greet the next guests from Poland in Polish, because she has written down some basic phrases. Huge breakfast, impossible to eat. Very well located, close to the park and the center with shops and pubs.

Starting with a positive, the host is a kindly woman who made a fantastic and complex Japanese style breakfast. |But...We thought we were going to be staying at a highly functioning ryokan at the price paid to stay here. …

This is a small hotel that is also a personal residence - two tatami rooms and an annex with a kitchenette. The rooms are a little tired but clean. The hostess is very helpful and the location is perfect.  …
