None.

The room was immaculate and very tranquil.

I faced some issues during my stay. The Wi-Fi was inconsistent, which was frustrating as I relied on it to plan my daily explorations. Additionally, the lack of late check-in made my travel experience more complicated when my flight was delayed, adding to my stress. The thin walls made it hard to ignore the noise from neighboring rooms. I found it difficult to relax at times.

The pros, the cons, and everything between

The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from the station! The kind staff made me feel at home, explaining everything about my stay and ensuring I was comfortable.

The Wi-Fi was inconsistent, making it tough to plan my daily adventures. Also, late check-ins aren't allowed, which could be an issue if your flight's delayed.

traditional Japanese experience, convenient location, attentive owners

Wi-Fi connectivity can be spotty at times!!! A cozy lamp in the room would create a warmer ambience during evenings!!! Early departure options could use improvement!!!

The single room I stayed in was spacious and clean, and I loved that my tea was ready when I arrived, making it feel like a personal welcome. I really enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the relaxing bath that helped me unwind after a long day. The only thing I’d suggest is adding a cozy lamp for a warmer evening vibe. 😊

the decor is retro but extremely well kept and clean! beds were very comfortable.

my stay at ryokan kyoraku was fantastic. The staff really made it special. they even left me a thermos of hot water for tea in my clean room. it’s a short walk from the main train station, making it super convenient. i appreciated the free bottled water in the fridge and how peaceful the area is.

The Wi-Fi connectivity was inconsistent, making it challenging to organize our daily excursions.

The traditional ambiance exuded charm, complemented by attentive staff who made the experience feel personal. The clean, comfortable room allowed for restful nights, with the added benefit of a helpful electrical outlet converter for international travelers. On the downside, the spotty Wi-Fi made planning daily activities difficult, and the lack of late check-in can be inconvenient. Additionally, the shared bathroom facilities, while clean, could pose challenges during peak times.

Very clean room with nice electric kettle. Weak Wi-Fi was frustrating for planning trips.
