We had a wonderful stay at Gora Kansuiro Ryokan. Be prepared for an authentic Japanese experience - both dinner and breakfast were beautifully presented traditional Japanese cuisine. Despite the hot weather in mid-August, we truly enjoyed the onsen. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended!
