My stay at the ryokan was overall very enjoyable. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by nature, making it a great escape. The rooms were clean and offered a unique traditional experience, but I did experience some noise from a family nearby. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay, which really enhanced the experience. However, the dining options could be improved as well. It was a bit pricey, but worth it for the unique experience.

My stay at Senjuan was truly memorable, thanks to the stunning private hot spring bath in our room that really sealed the deal for me. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making everything feel seamless during our stay. However, the overall location, while beautiful and quiet, is a bit remote, which might not suit everyone. Dining was enjoyable with delicious local ingredients, though it would have been nice to have a bit more variety.
