    The room facilities...”

    We had two people stay with us. The halls, stores, etc. were clean, but the rooms in the tower building were showing their age. The refrigerator in particular was very old and had water in it. I wish they would spend a little more money on the rooms, which are the place to relax.

    Good”

    The kaiseki course dishes are less competitive than other ryokans nearby. Furthermore, the clerks are not good at speaking English and their service was not that good compared to other ryokans I have stayed.
