My stay at the Ryokan was exceptional, and I can't recommend it enough! The warm hospitality from the family running the inn made us feel right at home. The traditional Japanese meals were delicious, and the outdoor onsen experience was truly a highlight. The location is perfect for exploring nearby Shibu Onsen and skiing, although I wish we could've stayed longer to enjoy more of it.
