There was another couple that rated them poorly and they, too, went on their honeymoon. We thought it funny because their was exactly our experience! We are also in our honeymoon and we have been to another Ryokan..this just was not it.
The traditional food was a bit too traditional and mostly bland and not very good. We were kind of dreading our meals..but for the most part,it was a hit or miss if the course meal was going to be good. Get ready for a LOT of bones in fish, gooey pastes, and little tiny eyes looking at you (tiny krill) as you debate whether or not your brave enough to eat it. For breakfast, no fresh coffee...that to us was the straw that broke the camels back. At least have some fresh coffee.
The staff were super sweet but at times a little over bearing . The room was ok. The onsen was ok as well, but never saw some of the ones in the photos so I'm curious to know which were those.
They had a "relax room" that was in a big room with just...chairs. Not lounge chairs, just normal chairs. Reminded us of a nursing home. At least try to make it relaxing... Put out snacks or books or tables..anything to make it more inviting. Seems like wasted space !
It has a lot of potential honestly..a face lift and better food and it can be really nice! This just wasn't it, we were shocked at all the great reviews.. Not a terrible stay but not good either. We looked forward to checking out ,that's not the experience you look for.
