Reviews and Ratings
The Ryokan offers an authentic experience with traditional onsen baths. The service is exceptional, and the location is perfect for enjoying the Ryokan and exploring the art on the island. However, dining options are limited. The facilities are well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful time at the Ryokan, enjoying the balance between exploring the art on the island and savoring the tranquility of the Ryokan itself. The rooms were comfortable and clean, but the dining experience with local meats left something to be desired. The location offers a perfect blend of cultural immersion and relaxation, making it a great choice for a getaway.
