Amazing experience, I travelled solo to the ryoken via the coach service (which in itself had beautiful views of the countryside) for a one night stay. Unfortunately, I speak little Japanese but the staff at the ryouken and the coach driver helped me as much as they could. The hotel was in a gorgeous area and had a beautiful interior with a beautiful view onto the river which you could hear. A staff member helped me when I checked in with how the hotel works with an English leaflet and informed me dinner, breakfast and about the three outdoor baths and indoor public baths. You also get supplied a yukata for your stay which you wear within the hotel and outside and indoor slippers when you first arrive. The baths themselves were a beautiful temperature and very relaxing and loads of free amenities were given in the private changing room for each bath. The baths sit higher up than the rooms and have walls surrounding each one wherein you can still see some of the mountainous scenery (and the sky) while not feeling any worries about people seeing you. Also, due to the baths being private, tattoos are allowed (I think the public bath also allowed tattoos). Showers were located next to the baths to clean prior to entrance which had lovely smelling products. Food was excellent and I had a waitress accommodate me during breakfast and dinner informing me of the dishes supplied and what each meal was each with a seasonal touch. When I return to Japan next I will have to make sure to visit here again for more nights, I highly recommend it to anyone, even those who speak little Japanese. Everyone was very accommodating and I didn't feel isolated eventhough I was a solo traveller.
