Very nice Ryokan with good and clean rooms - only setback was that the meals were served in a dining room rather than in the room itself.

This hotel was lovely! Relaxing in the public bath after a long day seeing the sights was our highlight. The staff was friendly, helpful, and thorough explaining the property and more traditional Japanese elements. We would absolutely recommend this property and will stay again on our next trip.

This is a pretty traditional ryokan. It’s pretty basic room and amenities. Spacious room with a nice and clean bathroom which is a must. If you’re looking for an average ryokan experience, you will get it. Definitely delivers for the price.

Great Hotel
Our family of 4 very much enjoyed our stay at Ryokufuso. The meals were excellent and the staff attentive and friendly. We used the onsen bath every night of our stay. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend this hotel for a welcoming Japanese experience.

Fantastic ryokan. The staff has a really good English and everyone was nice to us. There is a little shop in front of the front desk and free coffee (If my mind is not fooling me). The room was exceptional, had a nice view and futons. Bathroom was great and separated from toilets. There is a tatoo friendly onsen on top floor open until 12 am. The gaiseki was amazing, the chef explained to us how to eat every dish in English and was fun.
