"Located in a quiet quaint neighborhood. It was storming so I didn't get an opponent to enjoy the river and it's surrounding which the accommodation was just next to. But the spacious room came as a joy but unfortunately the beddings were not comfortable. Could feel the bed springs and the pillow overly soft. Wished that they provided tatami beddings instead.
Check in details were not provided via booking on trip.com but thankfully could easily contact the owner via WhatsApp. Overall still a great experience."
"Our room was on the second floor, and the window faced the outdoor unit of the air conditioner on the roof of the first floor. I wanted to change to a room on the third floor. Two Vietnamese people were at the front desk. They said that the third floor was full of dirty rooms, so they finally took me to the third floor. A small room, which is clean at all, but much smaller than my original room. He also said that the window of my room looked up to the mountains. I wanted to eat in the evening, but I couldn't find one without making a reservation in advance. I walked 1.5 kilometers to a restaurant on the main road opposite a gas station. Breakfast is a big pickle party. The hotel is in a good location, in the mountains, not far from the train station. However, the two Vietnamese front desk staff have a very bad attitude, and the breakfast is not satisfactory. A good hotel is a waste of money."
"The single room was comfortable with a simple and easy-to-use arrangement. I was in contact with my room child to stay, so pajamas and slippers were properly prepared for children in the room. The large communal bath was clean and comfortable. The breakfast at the buffet and the tea corner at the front desk were delicious and I was satisfied with everything. There are hotels all over the country, so I would like to use it again."
"+The location was really nice, very serene with lots of mountains surrounding the ryokan;
+Relatively easy to access (pretty far from Osaka, but close to the train station);
+Staff speaks English, so you shouldn't have issues with communication;
+They have a lot of instructions/maps/manuals on how to fully enjoy the ryokan, so you shouldn't have trouble figuring out the basics.
~Food was mostly ok, nothing bad or spectacular, good portions;
~Although they do have some SPA elements, it's really not a lot (basically nothing except hot springs and massage)
-It's certainly on the older side (not in the sense of it being particularly historical, rather that it would benefit from some renovations), but maybe that adds to the ambiance for some people;
-The actual inn territory is rather small, so you won't have much to explore without going outside.
Overall, I think it's a good first ryokan to familiarize yourself with the culture a bit, but I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as particularly impressive/authentic experience."
"A very good hotel. There are many restaurants and convenience stores nearby, which is very convenient.
It is also very convenient to go to Koyasan as a stopover on your journey. It's really nice, but make a reservation in advance."
