An amazing experience! The ryokan is simply amazing and the houseki and houmoku outdoor onsens are one of a kind.
We also really appreciated the novelty of the rooms and the private baths in each of the rooms we were allocated. Each room has a ton of character and is very comfortable.
The inn itself is beautiful and really takes advantage of the natural surroundings.
Definitely enquire about the wasabi experience. Our guide (Chiharu) was so wonderful and we got to pick our own wasabi and had some freshly ground wasabi on delicious rice that they prepared on the spot. Be warned that its not really accessible for anyone with mobility issues - but if you are up to it, its a one of a kind experience.
