"I am Canadian and recently retired from my position as President of a famous Japanese company in both Canada and USA. I have been to Japan upwards of 50 times and I have been spoiled staying at some of the most wonderful hotels and resorts throughout Asia, North America, Caribbean etc. I am currently spending 90 days in Japan therefore, within budget, I am staying at moderately priced hotels throughout the country and I came upon this hotel. With my many experience over the years, there is no doubt...this is in the top 5 of the BEST HOTELS I have ever stayed at! It is absolutely beautiful and elegant in that wonderfully understated Japanese way. 1. Lobby It's the first thing we usually notice when entering a hotel. This lobby is beautiful, spacious and elegant. 2. Room As a solo traveller on a budget, I chose a single room. But it was perfect. Unlike North America, Japanese hotel rooms are relatively small, but so well organized. 3. Breakfast This is without doubt one of the BEST buffet style breakfasts I have ever had! Not only is the selection wide and varied, but the quality of the food and taste is absolutely outstanding! 4. Pool Yes, as noted in other reviews, there is a cost for using the swimming pool. BUT, that is somewhat common in Japan. When we consider the amazing low nightly cost for the room, so what. Paying for use of the pool is no big deal. In conclusion: I plan to return to this hotel again before my trip is over. I LOVE this hotel!"

"You need to have a car but otherwise, this hotel was a good base to travel to and from Tokushima, take a boat trip to the Naruto whirlpools and visit local beaches. The lack of onsite restaurant and a common area to cook and eat in made for a relaxed feel which was a pleasant change from other more hectic hotels we had stayed in before this one. The staff were amazing, going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and had all the information we needed about the local area. One thing to note is that the hotel cannot currently arrange luggage forwarding to your next hotel. Staff did find the local Yamato depot for us and helped as much as they could but if we had not had a car, it would not have been possible."

"Lounge food. "

"Amazing experience! Although a little difficult to get to, this ryokan was totally worth it. We got the fish meals and they were extraordinary - nothing was in English, so we had no idea what we were eating. But that’s part of it! "

"The staff was excellent! Everyone was helpful and treated us very well. It was nice to have two great dining options within the hotel. The room was very nice and comfortable."
