PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Near the Matsubaya, this pleasant and spotlessly clean member of the Japanese Inn Group offers nicely decorated rooms, some of which look over an inner courtyard garden. Though the English-speaking son is a fourth-generation innkeeper, the building housing this ryokan was erected in 2007 and has the bonus of an elevator. Guests can help themselves to free coffee and tea in the dining room. Rooms, including two that are Western-style, are simple and spotless, with screened windows that open. Japanese breakfasts must be ordered the night before, and note that the ryokan locks its doors at 11pm. The higher rates below are for larger rooms.
