Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited facilities — The property scores relatively low on facilities (5.0), reflecting the modest amenities of a small ryokan—no on-site restaurant, gym, or public bath.
  • Comfort rating below average — Comfort scores 7.5, lower than other categories, suggesting some guests may find the traditional bedding or room conditions less plush than modern hotels.
  • Strict check-in and check-out windows — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, and check-out is from 07:00 to 10:00, which may be inconvenient for travelers with early or late flights.
