Ryokan Matsukaze

Pretty nice place and loved that they provided the Yukata suite.

Location was close to the station. 10 walk but be had so much luggage to roll behind is so 15 minutes. Rooms were cosy. Small as most in Japan are but well heated as we went in fall during a cold day. Service was very pleasant. We were greeted well and shown to our rooms. We didn't get to see the service in action that much because we left early morning after 1 day.

Structure is a bit old, and the floor rooms can get a bit cold but staff was kind and replaced ours with a 1st floor one. The ryokan is very warm and can be reserved for private experience.

I had the amazing opportunity to stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality that made me feel right at home. The ryokan was beautifully designed with classic Japanese architecture, tatami mat flooring. My room was serene and minimalistic, featuring a comfortable futon laid out on the tatami mats in the evening. I especially enjoyed wearing the yukata provided and walking around the ryokan feeling completely immersed in Japanese culture. One of the highlights of my stay was the onsen (hot spring bath). Soaking in the warm water was incredibly relaxing and refreshing. Staying at a ryokan allowed me to experience the calm, simplicity, and beauty of traditional Japanese living. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking an authentic and peaceful retreat in Japan.

The owner cannot speak English but tried to communicate to us. We’re impressed by the customer service and cleanliness. Eventhough we needed to use the shared toilet and bathroom, they are clean and vacant all the time. There is a few parking space at the ryokan with free of charge.

Loved it, just off the beaten path, quiet beautiful place to stay. Such lovely hosts and employees. Comfortable big room with a lovely tea set and bicycles that can be borrowed. Will stay there again
