Daimaru Ryokan

Situated in a tiny little town, you have everything you need within walking distance. The service is top notch, the moment we drove into the parking lot, there was this old lady running towards us to welcome us. There is an onsen inside the hotel and you also get free entrance to Lamune Onsen just across from the bridge.

Hot Spa is just superb, having inner and semi-open-air ones, also a smaller one for family use. The madam and the entire staff are quite efficient at their works, full of warm hospitality. The traditional dinner course with local specialties satisfies fully the travelers' wishes. All the rooms are along with the river Seri-gawa with small terrace (lanai) where the guests enjoy the gentle breeze and sound which can nicely tranquilize the hot body after bath. The hot spring water is drinkable - good for health! Lamune onsen is 5 minutes walk and is a part of Daimaru Ryokan so that the guests can use Lamune onsen for free of charge. The Daimaru Ryokan has a prestigious history of having various celebrities stayed, and many of the valued Japanese art pieces are displayed throughout the establishment... incredible! Such a nice stay.
