"Generally, smoking rooms in Japanese hotels don't have any unpleasant odors, but this one had a slight smell, though I didn't mind too much. If you have a specific requirement, you can book a non-smoking room. The location is excellent, and the price is very reasonable; highly recommended."

"Stayed at the sala room and loved the room! Great view of the castle. Stairs abit narrow so just be careful up and down. The restaurant food was excellent! Loved all the dinners in particular. Food fantastic and so was service!"

"I applied for a double room and a single room for two, but when I actually saw it, I was surprised to see that there was a double bed and a bunk bed. The room was very small, but the facilities were clean, and the breakfast was delicious despite the limited variety. I had high expectations because of the good reviews about the breakfast, so I was a little disappointed."

"We recently had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional ryokan, and we cannot express enough gratitude for the wonderful experience. Every morning, we were treated to meticulously prepared, delicious breakfasts that set the tone for incredibly relaxing days. The Okami-san's (female inn manager) warm hospitality ensured our trip was comfortable and memorable. We were particularly impressed by the introduction to Nagahama's charming local cuisine, which allowed us to truly appreciate the culinary delights of Ehime prefecture. The attentive service and authentic Japanese experience made our stay unforgettable. We would love to return if given the chance and highly recommend this ryokan to anyone seeking a genuine taste of Japanese hospitality. Thank you for an amazing stay!

"The hotel is super suitable for those who who aim for running away from modernization. And enjoy a peaceful moment of your own. Do remember you have to make reservations so that the staff will prepare dinner for you otherwise you need to drive a few miles to search for food elsewhere. The facilities are a bit aged but at least it doesn’t bother us from enjoying the stay."
