Kutsurogian

This is an exceptional ryokan. Only three rooms but very large rooms with a sunroom with "western style" chairs for those of us who aren't as limber as we used to be. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Quiet location with excellent views of the mountains. The food here is sensational and comes with English explanations of the dishes. They are very particular in adhering to any requests guests may have with regard to what they can and can't eat. The dining room has "western style" seating also. The onsen facilities are excellent. I can't recommend this ryokan highly enough. It is quite something.

A “boutique” ryokan experience which exceeded all our expectations! If you seek a very authentic, “non-touristy” experience in a peaceful mountain setting, and appreciate excellent service, combined with authentic local charm, I can’t recommend this charming inn enough. Our large tatami mat room (beds are Japanese futon, and there is a private washroom) had a generous view of the mountains and valley below, and the countless small rice paddies beginning to sprout (we visited in Spring). The large onsen bath area was reserved for our private use, and included both an indoor and outdoor mineral pool. The kaiseki dining experience, in a private dining room (you can also choose to be served in your suite) was probably what amazed us the most - a seemingly endless bacchanal of specially prepared, and beautifully presented traditional and regional courses. My wife and I found it difficult to imagine that an Edo emperor would have enjoyed a more lavish feast! Though the room rate here is not inexpensive, such a dining experience alone could easily cost the same. Finally, the very friendly and helpful staff exceeded all our expectations. We didn’t have a car, but they kindly drove us to/from the train station, as well as to the local sake brewery and visitor center. This was an unforgettable experience!

第一次住宿傳統日式溫泉飯店，雖然飯店人員的英文能力並不是太好，但還是用翻譯機很努力的試著跟我們說明，基本上溝通沒什麼問題，飯店人員對外國人的我們也很熱情友善。可以完全享有一間室內、露天相連的溫泉室使用權，飯店的早、晚餐也很美味有特色，是一家會讓人想再次回住的飯店。
