“Beautiful traditional ryokan with private bath”
+My room was absolutely massive and was decorated elegantly. There was a garden on either side and it was nice to sit and read with a coffee. The room had two doors, one which led straight to the ladies bathroom and the other which led straight to the bath; super convenient. The bath was wonderful for soaking weary bones after exploring Hikone all day. My futon was comfy and cozy and the aircon was strong which was perfect for this summer weather. The ryokan was located very close to the castle and many restaurants so it was easy to find somewhere for dinner and breakfast. The owner offered to drive me to the station after I had checked out but I was heading to the port to visit Chikubu island (highly recommend this excursion). Overall I loved this ryokan and will stay again next time I visit Hikone.
−Everything was perfect.

“Authentic historic charm with a peaceful vibe and a great night's sleep!”
+The historic house has a wonderful old charm and a very peaceful vibe. Because we love walking through cities, we actually found the 20-minute walk from the station to be very nice. The host was incredibly kind and used a translator app to communicate with us seamlessly. The shared bath was perfectly fine, and as a woman, I appreciated having access to a private restroom. While we didn't see any other travelers during our stay, we knew they were there from all the shoes lined up at the entrance! Most importantly, the futons were excellent; we slept incredibly comfortably and had a deep, restful sleep. We highly recommend this ryokan for anyone wanting an authentic, quiet Japanese experience.

+Very spacious and beautiful rooms. They provide it with Yukata. The shower area was like having a private onsen.

“Séjour agréable dans un ryokan 100% traditionnel”
+Auberge traditionnelle japonaise au décor soigné. L'hôte est accueillant et sympathique, il nous a même proposé gracieusement de nous emmener à la gare, à la fin de notre séjour.

+Le coté typique du ryokan
−Le bruit de la rue et la très faible insonorisation, la vétusté des cloisons, certaines étaient rayées et sales, pas de boulloire + thé dans la chambre

“Pour les amoureux des traditions ... un ryokan qui vous plongera dans la période Shogan.”
+Un ryokan traditionnel, spacieux, fonctionnel, et équipé d'un joli onsen (privatisable). La décoration est typique de la période Shogan et permet de nous plonger dans l'histoire et la vie traditionnelle des familles japonaises. Les propriétaires sont adorables, accueillant et toujours disponible pour améliorer notre confort. Je recommande vivement pour ceux qui souhaitent vivre cette expérience.
−Seul bémol (si on doit en trouver un) : il est légèrement à l'extérieur des zones plus touristiques et le quartier est dans son "jus". Mais l'accès au centre se fait en 10/15 min à pied.
