Andon Ryokan is modernized to the point that it leaves very impersonal, cold impression. The room was spacious even for 3 futon mattresses but the walk to the shared bathroom was through a cold hallway (in March). To get to the showers you would have to climb industrial steel cold stairs with all your clothes change since the shower is on another floor. These trips were just cold, cold, - not enough heating. The bathrobes are not automatically given as it is in the pictures but you have to ask for them. The Japanese flip flops were given but without regards for the size: sometimes too small, sometimes too large, sometimes with straps so tight it was impossible to put your feet in them. The ryokan is rather at a distance to the metro, about 8 minutes walk, and the area is devoid of character, just bland buildings and highways. The person who met us at the ryokan reception spoke fast English but it was incomprehensible.
