Considering the hefty price, I had anticipated this would be the highlight of my trip. While it certainly has its charm, the staff were welcoming (especially the person who served meals), and the experience was interesting, my overall opinion of the ryokan itself is quite mixed. It's in need of some renovation, particularly a fresh coat of paint. Furthermore, the cleanliness left something to be desired; there was noticeable dust on the furniture legs, which becomes quite apparent when you're sleeping on a futon. Consequently, the value for money was not good, despite us enjoying the delicious and well-presented meals. A minor disappointment was also the private bath, which wasn't anything special. At 450 euros a night for a room including dinner and breakfast, but without a private in-room bathroom, one is certainly justified in expecting a higher standard.
