First of all, this place looks terrible from the road. The side facing the river is concrete and looks old and dirty. However the side facing the entrance looks OK. I only paid $69/night with both meals so I did not anticipate much. All rooms face a river next to the main road so the view was not bad. If you expect to be pampered by staff that are at your beck and call than look elsewhere - it's your loss. The rooms are typical hotel/ryokan type, but you have to make your own futon mattress. The meals were something else. Yes, they are buffet, but with a really nice assortment of dishes. Breakfast was something I've never seen traveling and living 16 years in Japan: you are provided with a grill with wax-fed flame, and you have your choice of 3 (THREE) types of fish to cook! Sea bream, a small flounder, and I forget the third; I think split mackeral. The flounder was delicious and I ate two of them. If I am ever in the area again, I will go out of the way to stay here, and a good deal on the meals is what I look for in accommodation.
