3/5 chefquak 5 months ago on Google
overall
not
value
for
money
as
we
paid
more
than
double
c/w
hachimantai
heights
&
furofushi
&
about
40%
more
than
wakamatsuya
takamiya
old
ryokan
nice
traditional
ryokan
with
rich
history…manager
keep
reminding
us
built
307yrs
ago
ryokan
is
well
maintained
but
limited
because
of
structure
lobby
hall
is
small
but
cozy
rustic
got
coffee
but
no
tea
nice
place
for
people
who
really
love
old
places
&
history
room
below
average,
among
the
poorer
of
the
10
ryokans
we
stayed
this
tohoku
trip
Though
it
has
a
separate
bed
area,
there
is
no
settee,
chairs
or
sofa,
only
the
mobile
seats
with
cushion
&
a
table
with
sunken
in
area
for
legs
from
the
raised
bed..well
design
not
so
ergonomic
to
use
with
no
back
support..so
we
ended
up
using
the
lobby
lounge
more
onsen
very
small,
very
cramped
shower
area
for
3
showers
no
much
room
for
design
etc
it
is
the
only
ryokan
where
Wi-Fi
really
sucks..room
Wi-Fi
non
existent…though
connected
and
showed
3
or
4
bars
WhatsApp
always
show
connecting..so
if
WhatsApp
cannot
connect,
google
etc
also
cannot
lobby
wifi
better
end
up
using
own
data
