“Authentic Japanese house but quite tired and not best value for money.”
+This was a characterful Japanese house in a good location. It wasn't the easiest to find as only a small sign and not really on the map but we did manage that OK. We didn't need to contact the host during our stay. The property was very cold when we arrived and it took some time to get warm. We stayed at the beginning of April. Luckily our son is living in Japan and he knew how the table heater and other heaters would work - would have been more challenging without him. The futon beds were very comfortable and the bedlinen clean.
−The furniture is quite tired and considering it is recommended for up to 7 people there were not enough cups and glasses for example. It was good to experience a more traditional house but I was expecting more for the money. If the furnishings and equipment had been better, OR the pricing lower I would have rated higher.

+We like its location as it is only a few minutes from the old streets. It's located in a quiet and small alley where the local lives. The host was helpful. We found the kettle was not clean , he sent a new one shortly on the same afternoon. He also offered us to store our luggage before and after check-in which made our trip easier. The house has everything we need including a kitchen and proper laundry and dryer although we didn't use them. If you would like to experience the old style Japanese housing experience , I would highly recommend.
−As it is an old house, it is much colder than the modern hotels. However there are heaters and aircon enough to keep the rooms warm. The sitting area has an electric blanket underneath the table. The inside doors are all paper made, the handle parts are lower than the modern houses , extra caution is needed when use these door - part of the experience living in an old style house.

“Immersione nella vita giapponese rilassante”
+Lo stile del riokan e la vicinanza al fiume dove si svolge il mercato e alla parte della città vecchia da visitare e ai ristoranti buoni. La presenza di una lava-asciuga nel riokan
