This is place is the perfect getaway to relax. Although you need to take a bus, this is place is easy to find. If in doubt English speaking staff is available at the tourist information in Shuzenji station. This ryokan offers 4 type of onsen bath of which three can be enjoyed privately at no extra costs. Reservation of the private onsen is done onsite at a first come first serve basis. Also a nice public bath is available. We opted for the dinner by the river in a semi open-air setting, which we enjoyed a lot. Although it was a cold winter evening, the kotatsu and provided jacket kept us pleasantly warm and made it special experience. Definitely recommend this place.
