It is a very good traditional family owned ryokan 10 minutes on foot from the station. It is the equivalent of a 3 stars western hotel. I liked the very real japanese feeling while I did not like the hard and unconfortable pillows of the futon. By the way, be aware that you have to be open minded to the real japanese customs!

We were able to book this traditional ryokan via the Japan Welcome Inns and found it absolutely delightful. They have only Japanese-stle rooms, some with en-suite facilities. It is family-owned and although their English is very spotty, they made every effort to accommodate us and make us feel comfortable. They have a communal bath which was clean and well tended. The highlight of the stay for us were the optional meals served in the rooms for an extra charge--a good solid Japanese breakfast and a sumptuous dinner. We requested meals with no meat, and despite their very limited English skills, they delivered fabulously. It is located within a 10 minute walk of the train station.
