Sansui Ryokan Review

This is a good choice for travelers who like meeting locals rather than staying in impersonal hotels. It's run by the motherly and very hospitable Katou-san, who cheerfully oversees operations, has kimono you can try on for free, and can even arrange lessons in calligraphy or the tea ceremony (¥1,500 each) if you make reservations 3 weeks in advance. It has a cozy communal room offering free coffee and tea, but note that tatami rooms on the second floor are reached by steep stairs. Best of all, it's only a few minutes' walk west of Peace Memorial Park.

Facilities:
Rental bikes (¥300 per day); free coffee

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
