This is one of the most delightful Japanese full emergence experience you could have.
We traveled from Tokyo which in itself a incredible trip by train. Protip: take an uber from the train station.
You are greeted like family and your dinner, breakfast and onsen (Japanese hot spring bath) are planned. They offer two different ones in house. Staying in a traditional room is the perfect way to round out the stay. The hotel has beautiful gardens which you can enjoy from the lobby and rooms. The town main street is lined with bars, cafes and more hot spring baths! Dinner is served at a near by (5 min walk) hotel that reminds me of the Kill Bill movie. It is located near the Monkey park. Which is a journey. Walk down to bus stop. Take bus to town. Walk to park entrance then walk 2 miles to pay to go to hot spring where the monkeys gather. Note if you want to see monkey. Go in the dead of winter. Dec-Feb. The park does rent snow boots and gear. I highly recommend this stay. Its rustic beauty and friendly people takes you back in time.

The room was incredible, experience a lot of fun (Onsen and monkeys) and the breakfast / dinner were some of the best dining experience. The value is unmatched ! Tomo is a very helpful and kind host who thinks of every detail to make your stay unique and memorable (pick you up from the train station / book a private Onsen). We only stayed 2 nights but should of spend at least 4-5 nights as it was a very relaxing area and peaceful area - a stark contrast from the big cities.
Très beau petit Ryokan, beaucoup de charme, avec un personnel au petit soin et plein d'attentions au quotidien. Le petit déjeuner japonais est exceptionnel de qualité.
On a accès d'autre part au fabuleux bains Momoyama a proximité. Un lieu à recommander absolument pour ceux qui veulent passer quelques jours dans la région
