Ryokan 'Suite'



There was a jap style bathroom but we didn't use it. Just used the one in the onsen.





2 sinks! One outside the bathroom, one outside the toilet. But the one outside the toilet only had FREEZING cold water and no soap!



We opted for normal beds rather than futons, which was more expensive. No idea why! Seems that the japs prefer separate beds rather than double beds. But they did give us a futon for Sophie, FOC. Service here is fantastic. So going to miss it!



Ikebana in the alcove in the dining room.



The private dining room adjoining our bedroom.



Tiny sitting room 1.





Tiny sitting room 2.

Sort of main room adjoining bedroom with an electric blanket below the table. Made one's legs warm and toasty! I dived under it when we arrived as the corridors were freezing (it was snowing outside if you noticed in the previous post). Calvin, of course, was busy taking photos "before the room got too messy". I have spared you the pictures of the toilet, btw.

yeah, it was fun. didn't enjoy the food though. Should have gone with you guys to Gettoan that time. This one didn't have onsen attached to the room. Had to walk out along freezing corridors to reach the onsen.
