Professional Review
This hostelry is widely acknowledged as the best traditional ryokan in Japan, a claim shared with the Tawaraya directly across the narrow street. Dating from 1818 and now in its sixth generation of innkeepers, this low-key inn has hosted countless international notables, yet the only evidence of grandeur is the occasional limousine sidling up in front. As a sign of the times, it recently installed a computer in a parlor for those who absolutely cannot do without.
