    This was my first time staying at a ryokan, and I wasn't sure what to expect. I was surprised by how small the bathroom was (though that wasn't a big deal to us). The hotel service was wonderful. This is a hotel with soul.

    Everything was perfect! And I do not use that word lightly. The ladies at reception have great english, all is great. My room ( samurai style ) was authentic. The care very much and nothing is a problem. I was mindblown.
