The room furnishings with garden view was nice. We ordered kaiseki for dinner and the breakfast. Dinner was worth it; breakfast was not. I have heard that the price range for this hotel is about average. Although the location is convenient to many attractions, the ryokan is located right next to Kawabata-dori, a 6-lane major road.
