Frommer's Review
A member of the Japanese Inn Group, this highly-recommended traditional ryokan just east of Higashi Honganji Temple is a great choice in this category. First opened in 1885, it's owned and managed by the friendly and irrepressibly energetic octogenarian Mrs. Hayashi, representing the fifth generation of innkeepers. She'll talk on and on to you in Japanese even if you don't understand, making you wish you did. Her best, slightly higher-priced rooms have wooden balconies facing a miniature inner courtyard or a tiny enclosed garden. All are tatami rooms with sitting alcoves. Telephone cards sold at the inn can be used from your room for international calls. Note that curfew here is 11pm, and when faxing to the ryokan, please be respectful of the time difference -- Mrs. Hayashi isn't getting any younger, and she's been so kind to so many travelers.
Facilities:
Lobby computer w/free Internet access; coin-op washer and dryer; communal fridge
