Myosen Waraku Rankeiso

Returning for the first time in over a decade, I thoroughly enjoyed the large public bath along the gorge and the private bath. The familiar salmon and wild mountain vegetable dishes brought back fond memories, and in addition to the breakfast rice porridge cooked with this Accommodation’s salty spring water, the freshly cooked white rice made with Maki spring water was also exceptional. The Accommodation is well maintained, with some things unchanged and others more convenient than before, making for a comfortable and nostalgic stay. Thank you very much.

There was no snow in the city, but as we got closer to the Ryokan, the remaining snow got deeper—and my hay fever symptoms even eased up lol.The inside of the building feels like a maze due to multiple additions over time, but it’s wonderful: solid, stately architecture with a real sense of history. Every dish was delicious, made with local ingredients and prepared to bring out their natural flavors. And of course, the sake was excellent! It might feel a bit small for some men, but for me it was just the right amount.The baths were great too—nice atmosphere, perfect temperature, and high-quality water. Next time, I’d love to relax with some sake and enjoy the lush green scenery.
