It was a one of the nicest ryokan I've ever been.
The meals were perfect.
The most beatiful thing was the main open sky bath. I wanna go there in next year too.

The staff are very warm and welcoming, they always show up and take care of their customers in small details. There are 7 onsens (including one in my house), my house was a traditional one and I love itbso much, food was super delicious with local ingredients, everything was good and was a great experience.
