Kamigoten Ryokan

We took the Ryujin Bus and arrived at Kamimota. It was not yet check-in time, but the hotel lady was already waiting at the door. Serve warm tea, introduce the hot spring time, ask about meal time, and carefully prepare for dinner in the room. After the meal, we made the bed and asked thoughtfully about the time for the next day's morning service and the time for the bus to leave. The whole process was considerate. It was very cold outside when we left, and the hotel lady asked us to wait in the hotel until the bus came to the door. When we left, he said goodbye to us warmly and waved until we left. The hot springs here are very good, the food is delicious, and the experience is great.

This is an old ryokan where many things are still stuck in the past. Large room consisting of two areas with en-suite bathroom. Overlooking the stream that flows next to the house. Excellent and plentiful dinner served in the room by an old but flexible lady in an old kimono. Indoor and outdoor hot spring baths small but clean and welcoming. However, it is quite isolated from everything so much so that on the way there the bus had as its only passengers only the two of us.

The open-air bath was Ryujin Onsen, which has a long history along the river! It's inconvenient if you don't have a car, but it's a must for hot spring enthusiasts (laughs).
