The building is very old, but you can feel the effort put into keeping it clean and tidy. The staff provided polite and attentive service without being overbearing. Above all, the hot spring is wonderful. The bath on the first floor was too hot for me, so I used the one on the fifth floor instead, and enjoyed a refreshing soak in the morning. The quality of the water is undoubtedly among the best in Japan.
This place is not for those expecting the hospitality of a luxury hotel or clean, brand-new facilities. Itâs perfect for those who want to enjoy a rustic, unpretentious ryokan with an excellent hot spring.
There are no breakfast spots nearby, so if youâre staying without meals, I recommend the soba shop inside Togura Station.
