Room is spacious for 2 persons. Historical Japanese architectureal building. I don't believe there is any room with its own bathroom and toilet. Public hot spring bath room is small and the pool can only house 3 or max 4 persons. The old couple owners are very nice but cannot communicate in English. Usually local customers.Location is very central so close to amrnities and eateries and the famous Zenkoji temple.

This place is great if you’re truly looking for a traditional experience. Futons on the floor, royakan, family run and hostel like. Good to know that it’s shared bathrooms, showers are only in onsen area, and hallways are quite cold in winter. Couple is very friendly and makes a lovely breakfast - note this is Japanese style. It’s very close to temple, Gondo and old part of town - super cool, but it also closes quite early. A unique experience we will remember for sure. :)

Excellent location for a quick trip to Zenkoji Temple and a very good bargain. The only issues are the stairs being steeper than most people are likely used to, and the futons can give you a stiff back. The price is nice in that it gives you the ability to try out the Ryokan experience without committing to a heavy price tag.

Fabulous breakfast. Traditional Japanese breakfast. The only drawback was the staircase. Its really steep. And there's no lift. Soundproofing from the street wasn't the best but a beautiful room

I stayed 2 nights here. After the first night, I decided to relax in my room, read my book and venture out after lunch. However, at 10am the woman running the inn knocked repeatedly on my door. When I answered, she brushed by me and entered my room saying “cleaning cleaning” she grabbed the air conditioning remote and turned it off then ran over and opened the curtains. She then just stood there and stared at me repeating “cleaning cleaning”. I wasn’t prepared to leave right away but she was persistent. If you stay multiple days you will have to leave at 10am for the day. I read a lot of the comments about the woman being rude but I didn’t find her rude. She only speaks Japanese, and a few English words, so communicating can be difficult. It’s a great experience staying in an old traditional Ryokan. Maybe only stay 1 night

This is an authentic old-style ryokan with welcoming hosts who treat their guests like family. The building is very old and, being wooden construction, creaky and drafty, but also charming. The onsen was exceptionally clean and a wonderful first time experience for us. The breakfast was beautifully presented and delicious, with a variety of offerings we had never before encountered. We are westerners in our early 70s and were a little worried about sleeping on futons on the tatami mat covered floor, but we both slept well and appreciated this truly Japanese experience in the lovely city of Negano.

enjoy Japanese tradition

I had a wonderful stay at this traditional Japanese ryokan. The couple that runs it is lovely. It was just a bit of an adjustment from having modern amenities and an ensuite bathroom but I wanted the real experience and I got it! Definitely recommended.
