Sansou Shikian

The hotel is about a 10-minute drive from Yunotsubo Street, which is quite convenient. The room was clean and hygienic, and the private open-air bath could be half-open or fully enclosed. The only downside was that the sink area felt a bit old, and the faucet kept dripping. Dinner was very generous. I don't eat beef, but I hadn't notified them in advance. They were very understanding and accommodating when I asked for chicken instead.

This hotel is excellent! The location is perfect, making it super convenient for shopping, dining, and transportation. The staff are incredibly friendly. I would definitely stay here again if I get the chance.

The only minor downside was the location being a bit far, but I was very happy with my stay.

A truly wonderful onsen ryokan. The reception staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a private semi-outdoor onsen. Both the grilled beef dinner and the Japanese buffet breakfast were absolutely delicious. The surroundings were very peaceful and serene. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

The location, being nestled in the mountains, was a bit remote, but it was perfectly fine since we had a rental car. In fact, its secluded mountain setting made it wonderfully quiet and pleasant.

Though it's a bit out of the way, the property itself is beautiful and the ryokan experience is wonderful! If you request a taxi during check-in, they'll arrange one for you to match your check-out time, so you won't have to worry much about getting around.

A taxi ride from the train station to the hotel costs about 3,500 JPY. The room is spacious and features a traditional Japanese design, comfortably accommodating three guests (one on a futon and two on regular beds). Yukata (Japanese traditional robes) are provided for guests to wear. Our room included a deep soaking tub, and there's also an outdoor bath with natural hot spring water. Guests can also interact with and take photos of the sheep and chickens on the property. The stay includes a Japanese dinner served at 6:30 PM and breakfast. During dinner, staff take photos of each table and present guests with a beautifully hand-drawn souvenir portrait, completely free of charge. The check-in counter is on the ground floor, and upstairs you'll find an interesting display of local history and traditional farming tools, which is well worth exploring and photographing!
