Lovely place with a great team operating the boutique style hotel.
Opted for the hot tub experience - it was relaxing but not super comfortable for 2 people about 6 feet (182cm) tall.
Opted to try the tea ceremony and the ceremony leader was extremely chill and knowledgeable.
The rooms overlooking the dining area do not block sound very well, and that would have been ok were it not for a loud-talking guest who liked to talk excessively.
There is a tree which is planted indoors, but droops in the walking path forcing taller people to duck. A mild annoyance, even though the tree is pretty.
The area around has a lot of walkable spots including a place that sells wine on the corner and was kind enough to pop the bottle they sold us so we wouldn’t need to search fir an opener. Ryo Kan staff was kind enough to provide an opener for the next bottle we bought.
Breakfast was simple, fruits, yogurt, bread, oats, and a juice, but it was nice.
Having been to Japan, I would say this hotel does a nice job giving some flavor of Japan without making you feel totally immersed and detached from western culture.
