• Lovely Ryokan with Vegan Food!

My husband and I spent 4 nights here at the end of December, 2016. They have 3 lovely hot spring baths: an outdoor rock pool (which was incredible while it was snowing), an old, indoor covered one with traditional, high wooden ceiling, and a small, private, indoor wooden one with a large door to outside. The staff were really kind and carefully prepared us vegan meals, including 2 onigiri rice balls / person each day (+500 yen per person). They asked us as soon as we arrived to confirm what we could and couldn't eat, and were very considerate about everything. The food wasn't really fancy, but it was still nice and we were satisfied (especially for the extremely reasonable cost of ~11,000 yen per person / night, including dinner and breakfast!) We had a simple but pleasant room over-looking the outdoor courtyard, and enjoyed exploring the small town and area during the day. 5 mins around the corner there is a funky cafe called "Chamise Cafe and Space" were we were able to get vegan soup and drinks during the afternoon as well. This is definitely a nice destination for a traditional relax! Updated from previous review on 2017-01-12
