Takimikan

2階部屋から滝が見え癒されました。銀山温泉街まで宿のバスの送迎助かりました。翌日歩いてみましたが急な坂道でキツかったです。 お部屋は広くゆっくりできました。トイレ全自動で快適です。夕食一般的な品数、蕎麦は普通の感じ。朝食が沢山魚の煮付けまで出て満腹です！ お風呂の中湯の花？が沢山あってびっくりでした。有名地なのかも知れませんが料金少し高い気がします。一泊お世話になりました。

Everything was great except the food. Both dinner and breakfast were sub-par with odd flavoring, they used the same super sour plum sauce in almost every dish. Sincerely hope they improve the food quality in the future.

Check-in and check-out times were weird. More on that later. Old and dated, not only in its structure but in the furniture inside the room. The bedding even smells dated! Service was horrible, perhaps because we don't speak Japanese. Upon check-in, we were forewarned that if we check out late the next morning (9 a.m.), we will be charged an extra day's rate. Who on earth checks out so early in the hospitality industry!! At dinner, the server did not try to explain anything at all. It was just placing things on the table. I had a thought throughout my dinner, that either she was forced to work there as a indentured worker by someone or that she despised non-Japanese. No water was served at dinner. We were shown a beverage menu. Not a drinker, I ordered juices for the whole party. One tiny glass of canned juice cost USD$7. Canned/concentrate, not fresh juice. And, we already paid almost USD$700 for just one night, with meals included. They have the audacity to charge extra for juice, and we ordered only because we did not know we had to pay extra and we just needed some liquids to down the food with. I should have brought my own bottled water! What ryokan experience?? Nothing warm or welcoming. The only saving grace was that we got to enjoy the outdoor onsen (man-made) early the next morning since we checked in at 4 p.m. the first day and wanted to at least dip in some onsen before we had to rush to eat breakfast and check out EARLY that morning.
