mixed feelings about the stay

the staff seemed always ready to help making the stay as comfortable as possible.
the smell in the room was not great. at first, i thought it was the tatami but after other ryokans, i realized the odor was unusual and not normal at all (not what you want on vacation).

charming stay in traditional style

traditional design shared kitchen free yukatas
i appreciated the traditional design of the building, it reminded me of a great introduction to local culture. the shared kitchen included coffee, tea, dishes, a microwave, a cooker and a kettle. free yukatas and ear plugs were available to guests.
The facility wasn't as clean as other hostels i have stayed in. other guests were not considerate. They made loud noises while packing late at night. the sleeping space felt cramped.
