This is a very special ryokan offering in that 1) it’s just inside the park gates, 2) some of the nicest Japanese traditions are honored here, 3) you can get your own open air bath that overlooks a private garden. I have no idea why others would not give this 5 stars unless they reserved the wrong type of room. Their gift shop also has wonderful things that are easy to pack to bring back for the folks at home.
