Hotel Analysis
Based on 2 sites · 78 reviews
A traditional ryokan in Kuji built in 1953. The unchanging old building creates a unique atmosphere that stands out in guest reviews.
Reviews commonly praise 'thorough cleaning' and 'clean, modern shared bathrooms and toilets'. Free snacks, drinks, and satisfying breakfasts with good value are frequently mentioned. Many enjoy the retro charm of the aged wooden floors and high ceilings.
Some note steep stairs and narrow parking entrance as drawbacks. Lack of private bathrooms means using shared facilities, which may be inconvenient.
