Hotel Kajikaso

10/10 Excellent
"so it's a typical ryokan, we've been to a few. A little bit older, a little faded, but nice. One thing for westerners to be aware of, the food is not toned down for tourists. This is real traditional Japanese food. A lot of it has that pronounced funky fish taste ( i love fish, but this is different). And breakfast is the same, we passed on bfast the 2nd day. Too much for my western stomach."
