• Ryokan Greenso
  "Homely, peaceful."
  "First review in English! My husband and I enjoyed our 2 nights stay in Ryokan Greenso. We took the public bus from Yugawara Train Station, it is just several stops down and a few metres from the bus stop. We did not have much difficulty finding the place. The lady who runs the ryokan is frie..."ndly and made us feel welcome even though we hardly spoke a word of Japanese. Lovely tatami room (we had the attached toilet) which was clean and homely. I must say the room was a tad dated, but everything was in working order. The room had a balcony which we enjoyed lounging at. Dinner was sumptuous and absolutely delicious! I recommend you try it at least once. Alternatively you can walk/take the bus back to the city centre/train station where there are several eateries.

Zuigetsu itself is lovely and immaculately kept. It's up on a hillside, so take a taxi from the train station if you have luggage! The ryokan has just 5 rooms, so it's very quiet, and my room at least had a great view. It has separate sex baths, both with one inside bath and one outside bath. Note that the rooms have a vanity and toilet room, but there is no shower or bath attached to the room, so you must go to to the shared baths. The outside bath was amazing - I went late enough in the fall that the outside air was pretty chilly, so plunging into a hot pool and gazing at the stars felt wonderful. Since there are so few rooms, I actually had all the bath... " More >
