Beautiful spot and charming staff. Excellent food!
It’s a lovely place but a little over priced. Also, maybe make it clearer that there is not a public onsen?

Excellent ryokan stay with delicious local meals and Japanese standard hospitality.
Breakfast and dinner provided were delicious and well curated. Service was excellent, I felt welcome during my stay.
Some parts of the room felt older (e.g., toilet, makeup area).

The best onsen ryokan we have experienced.
