I had a wonderful time at Sakura-no-sho, a modern ryokan that combines contemporary design with traditional hospitality.

I had an amazing stay at the hotel with spotless and beautifully decorated rooms. The beds were surprisingly comfortable for a Japanese style hotel, and the bathroom facilities were excellent. The only downside was some language barriers with the staff, although they were always eager to help. The dining experience was fantastic with elaborate meals, but there was a small issue with a duplicated bill at checkout which did cloud my overall experience just a bit.
I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the hotel, even though the exterior initially made me a bit apprehensive. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, especially Yoshi, who had a decent command of English. The breakfast offered a great variety of both Japanese and Western dishes, while the half-board option for dinner was an absolute must-try. However, the hot spring's bathing rules may be a challenge for those who are shy, and I felt a little frustrated that the bar bill was duplicated upon checkout.
The hotel is located conveniently at the top of the town, making it easy to access local attractions like the temple and shrine. The stay was great overall, with clean rooms and traditional sleeping arrangements that we enjoyed. However, we encountered an issue with the billing that marred an otherwise lovely experience. Overall, a very pleasant stay with some minor setbacks.
This hotel felt like a cozy home away from home, with clean and comfortable accommodations.
