Den stora upplevelsen är kopplat till de varma utomhusbaden. Man kan dygnet runt ta ett varmt bad. Det finns finns både herr, dam och gemensamt bad samt privatbad. I japan förväntas man vara naken när man badar och endast skyla sig med en tyglapp. För den blyga kan badkläder användas
The ryokan was just sit aside the river. It was aged but was kept very good. A real traditional ryokan.
The outdoor onsens were excellent. I enjoyed the onsens with the nature very much. The staff could be communicated with basic English while I couldn't speak Japanese.
The Japanese style dinners were delicious and delighted. I had tasted the top quality Hida beef, as well the yummy local Hoba miso and pickles. The dinners were one of the bests I had during my 7 days tour in Takayama-Hokuriku area. Breakfasts were also nice. Will definitely stay in again.

Disliked: Staff & service
Room rate is unreasonably high considering the quality of services and the hardwares. The meals are of acceptable standard but not impressive esp. the Hida Beef is disappointing in terms of quantity and cooking skill. I have to walk for over a hundred meters with several heavy luggages

With an exceptional location and outside natural springs that must rate as some of the most dramatic anywhere this really is an amazing place. Dinner was fantastic too, much better than expected.
