A local gem! This traditional Japanese guest house exudes historical charm, providing a truly immersive experience. The food is exquisite, featuring house grown rice and locally sourced ingredients with authentic flavors that delight the palate. The staff's courteous service makes you feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. There were plenty of amenities as well. A stay here is a beautiful blend of culture, history, and culinary delight. Highly recommended if you pass by the area.
Large hotel with a great view of the surrounding area. Located within easy walking distance of the train station, very central and at the entrance to the castle ruins. Room was spacious, and well furnished, but the bathroom was slightly dated, however did have a modern toilet. This hotels clientele is Japanese by a vast majority, but staff and signs are multilingual, unlike what I'd heard. As this hotel is in a city which does not get too many foreigners, and is off the traditional tourist route, I was genuinely surprised at how welcomed I was by both staff and guests. Very charming! Cleanliness could be worked on, and does need updating, but the feel of the whole place more than makes up for these shortfalls.
