Excellent vibe in ryokan that dates back 300 years. The staff were incredibly helpful as we don't speak Japanese, although there were hardly any other foreigners there (unlike Nikko 2 hours south, which was overwhelmed by tourists). Excellent hot baths, mixed gender and segregated. The Kaiseiki dinner was wonderful. To get there you cross a small swing bridge over a river made of vines and bamboo. A unique experience. Stayed 3 nights, and could have stayed longer. Very relaxing. A short walk away was Heike no sato, a beautiful little village with reconstructed old buildings packed with small museum objects - especially beautiful in autumn ( the leaves were spectacular). Highly recommended.
