This was our first ryokan experience. The service was incredible throughout - very easy to communicate with the hotel team, who were very responsive and helpful. The staff were all super welcoming throughout our stay. The interior is beautiful, and the gardens are stunning. Our room was large, bright and calming, with a private bath. The rooftop onsen is amazing and has an uninterrupted view of mt fuji. Private dining room with kaiseki-ryori tea ceremony, wine bar, and an unbelievable taiko drum performance in the evening from the staff house band. Only complaint is that there was a bit of mould staining around the bathroom, but not sure if this can be helped given the amount of hot water that is used in the bath area. It also had a little bit of an odd smell, but nothing terrible. Would definitely come back and would want to stay longer (one night went by too quick). Good value considering everything that you get for the price.
