We were grateful that the owner let us check in early after a helpful introduction to the area. We arrived shortly after 12, planning only to leave our bags before the 2 pm check-in, but the owner got out a map and patiently pointed out where to explore around Yubatake, when to see the Yumomi show, and where to eat. The ryokan has lots of character and thoughtful touches, including a designated shoe area and separate slippers for indoors, outdoors, and the onsen. The owner was warm and welcoming throughout. There are three private onsens, one with a sauna, and each can be locked for privacy. Breakfast was delicious and carefully put together, with around 15 different little dishes. We had a wonderful stay.
