Genjiko

This was a fabulously beautiful ryokan With wonderful service, beautiful rooms that were large and with an ocean view. The staff speak adequate English. From the moment you walk in the lobby a sense of peace and serenity surrounds you.The onsen was on the top floor in some beautiful rock garden ledges with a great view. You could not find a more peaceful and pleasant place. We had one meal there which was a really nice, tasty omekasa.The only problem with it for someone not from Japan or who can't drive in Japan is that it is in an extremely inconvenient area. We were able to get there by train and then by cab, but with one exception, the dining options are not walking distance. In order to get home, we had to take a bus to a train to another train. This wasn't a terrible problem but we had a lot of luggage. No cabs were available. Uber doesn't go there. If you're able to drive in Japan, this is an excellent place to go. And if you don't drive but you have a sense of adventure and don't mind these limitations, it's very rewarding.

A classic Japanese-style hot spring inn, quaint and clean. Good for experiencing traditional Japanese ryokan hospitality. 1. Service: Excellent. Staff always available for assistance. I appreciated the staff recognize guests before introduction. 2. Rooms: Spacious with great views, overlooking Ise Bay. Tatami mats and Japanese bedding provide a fantastic experience. Amenities are plentiful. 3. Onsen: The outdoor hot springs offer stunning views of Ise Bay. Perfect for watching the sunset while soaking. The women's baths are two pools: a wooden tub and a stone-lined one. Although the stone pool had some bird droppings on the rocks, unsure when they would be cleaned. 4. Dining: First experience with kaiseki cuisine, unsure if it's authenticity. It was delicious, particularly enjoyed the grilled wagyu. Arrangements were made in advance for those who don't eat sashimi whith additional costs, which was convenient for guests with dietary restrictions. Breakfast was also substantial, unexpectedly enjoyed the grilled blowfish fillets. 5. Experience: Women can choose from a variety of beautiful yukatas to wear for bathing and dining. Although I found it a bit challenging despite instructional videos. You also can try on the formal kimono provided in the lobby, which is a rare free experience. Grateful for the hotel's offer of a complimentary stay for ********* guests who recommend them on social media, which includes one night's accommodation with two meals. However, if evaluating based on the regular price for one night's stay with meals, it might seem overpriced. 懷舊的和式旅館，古樸且整潔，適合體驗日本溫泉旅館的傳統服務 1. 服務：非常好，隨時能找到工作人員幫忙；且我喜歡在報上名字前、對方就能認出是哪位客人的貼心感 2. 房間：很大、風景很好、在窗邊即可欣賞伊勢灣海景；榻榻米和日式床鋪是很棒的體驗，且備品應有盡有 3. 溫泉：露天溫泉風景非常好，同樣是伊勢灣海景，可以一邊欣賞日落一邊泡湯；女湯有兩個池子：檜木桶和石砌的，怕碰撞的話可以選檜木桶的，石砌池子的石頭上有些鳥屎，不知道什麼時候會清潔 4. 餐食：第一次品嘗懷石料理，不確定是否道地，但是頓美味的晚餐，最喜歡烤知多和牛；因為不吃生魚片事前有聯絡可以加價更換食材，方便有特殊飲食的客人；早餐也相當豐盛，烤河豚干物出乎意料地美味 5. 體驗：女性有美麗花色的浴衣可以選擇、可自行穿著去泡湯和用餐，雖有影片教學但還是有點苦手；1F大廳的打掛僅僅披上就很好看，難得可以免費體驗 感謝飯店提供這個台灣人免費的活動：只要在社群上推薦，就能獲得一泊二食的體驗。 然而，若以一泊二食的原價去評論，可能會覺得價格過高
