Kansuiro Annex

A wonderful ryokan. A beautiful, clean, comfortable room, delicious breakfast. The hotel provides free access to the main ancient onsen building, and we were lucky to be in the onsen without any people. We had a wonderful time and relaxed.

Fantastic location, just next to the bus stop. Our room is spacious, in fact is the most spacious in the annex. The breakfast is simple yet delicious. The outdoor onsen is small but the ambience is great. The staff is attentive and friendly. We also checked out the Kansuiro main building which is full of history. Overall we had a pleasant stay in Kansuiro Annex.

I was in Japan for approximately 9 nights. This was by far the best, most beautiful room I was in. It fit the setting perfectly. The breakfast was fulfilling. Bathroom facilities - not inside the room itself - were clean and no issue whatsoever with those. I don’t speak a lick of Japanese and was able to fully enjoy my stay. I used the public onsen in the annex (no one was there when I used it) and the private onsen in the main building. They absolutely hit the spot. Wonderful. Folks may say the bed is hard and firm - and it is but that’s not an issue for me. If you wake up with aches, all the more reason to hit the onsen right when you wake up - works wonders! I’d love if they served the tradition Japanese dinner too that you see, that’s the only thing missing but it wasn’t part of the reservation so I can’t mark negatively for that.

The location was decent. It’s right in front of the bus stop. The tram station is also one of the most scenic ones along the whole line. The rooms were comfy. I’d consider staying at least 2 nights if you want to properly enjoy what it’s like to be in the ryokan during the day as well.
