Good harmony of the traditional Ryokan and innovation.

Maybe the onsen was a bit too tiny (only one bath).

Cheap price, really good accomodation, authentic "japanese" feeling. Being able to enjoy a real ryokan accomodations for such a price is a steal. Also, staff is english-speaking, kind, will try its best to make yout stay in Ito as enjoyable as possible. Onsen is clean, well-maintained and allows a real relax time.

Very minor point but when I turned on the light jn my room the light in the entrance also turned on. Seemed redundant.

Everything, the exterior, the interior, my beautiful room (101), the wonderful view over the river from my balcony, the private onsen. During my two months trip in Japan, this was the best accommodation I had. I will return here when I come back to Japan.

Room is too small for 3 people.

Second time stay, everything was nice.

There is only one private shower and onsen and a public one. Which given the places age is understandable it just means waiting a while for the private one or being brave.

Stunning property. We we’re upgrade to a river view room with no charge and it was amazing. Beautiful wooden interior with lovely communal areas.

The location has not much city life or attractions close by but the hotel definitely made up for it.

The hotel was the main attraction in town. The hotel is so beautiful in it's traditional architecture. True place of art. The town is great if you are planning to do hikes or other small towns in the region.

Shared rooms have no ventilation other than windows - to be expected in such a building - but the air got pretty stale and it was too cold outside to open a window.

Amazing historical building, very well maintained.

Not being as young as I was I found myself muttering” too old for tatami” . With the firmness of the bedding and the fact that everything is pretty much at floor level it was a struggle. But that’s a personal problem

Everything! A historical building with wonderful decor, well located with a 10 minute walk to the station and 3 minutes to the beach. It was also great value for money. It has an onsen which was really appreciated. There was another (discounted) onsen/ rotemburo not far away. A great izakhaya ,(frequented by staff from K’s) was a couple of minutes away and had had great food at great value. The best thing about K’s was the staff; without exception they were cheerful, friendly and super helpful.

It is not really kid friendly, it’s not convenient to bring your stroller in and out of the property, and the traditional sliding doors are lined with paper. I was having a hard time keeping my 2 year old from staining the paper with his chocolate stained fingers and from poking holes in them.

The traditional style rooms and beautiful common areas and little gardens outside, also the friendly and helpful staff. We travelled with 2 young kids, it was difficult to keep them quiet and orderly but the staff were quite understanding about that. Also the private onsen is open for use, which was really nice for us to use as a family with kids.

The dorm rooms were futon beds laid beside each other on tatami, with small dividing screens, which didn't afford much privacy, but there were only four to a room and it was worth the lack of privacy for the aesthetic benefits of tatami and the airy room.

The entire hostel was truly gorgeous. It plays to the strengths of the traditional Japanese house, with lovely tatami common areas, beautiful stepping stones between rooms, and natural wood details. The staff were very friendly, and had complimentary coffee, plus a free round of clothes washing for three-night stays or longer. Not to mention free onsen use, and free access to their small private onsen on a first-come first-serve basis, as well as discounts to some other local onsen. All facilities were clean and attractive - the onsen was small, but very relaxing. The view from my tatami mat dorm room was right out onto the gorgeous canal, and I could open the windows fully.

I enjoy the stay. There is nothing that i dont like.

It is close to the train by 10 minutes walking, easy to find, close to sea by 5 minutes walking. Convenient store nearby and you get your own food to cook as they have a small kitchen to be used.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and gave us many great recommendations for places to eat in the area. The room was huge and the view of the river was really nice. Loved the onsen and the shared space in the Ryokan, definitely recommended.
