Ayame-Ryokan

Service was very good. But hotel is old and not as clean as picture shows. But many many antiques in the lobby area.. .the carpeted area in the room needs to change. It feels dusty and like not vacuumed. The futons were ready ,rolled up at the side of the room. We jus unrolled them at bedtime. They have the smallest pillow I've seen after staying in hundreds of ryokans across Japan.. Their dinner is the best I've had . Very full meal. Lobster included and very delicious. Breakfast was simple and good. With the important seasonal food . Meals in this ryokan is worth bragging about. Hotel can be better if some renovation is done to the soiled carpets and a good cleanup of the rooms.. Advantage of being able to leave car at the car park lot and walk 3mins to the nearby riverside garden.. The elderly couple running the ryokan were very friendly and helpful. Very kind people.
