Daimaru Ryokan — Hotel in Taketa

Hot Spa is just superb, having inner and semi-open-air ones, also a smaller one for family use. The madam and the entire staff are quite efficient at their works, full of warm hospitality. The traditional dinner course with local specialties satisfies fully the travelers' wishes. All the rooms are along with the river Seri-gawa with small terrace (lanai) where the guests enjoy the gentle breeze and sound which can nicely tranquilize the hot body after bath. The hot spring water is drinkable - good for health! Lamune onsen is 5 minutes walk and is a part of Daimaru Ryokan so that the guests can use Lamune onsen for free of charge. The Daimaru Ryokan has a prestigious history of having various celebrities stayed, and many of the valued Japanese art pieces are displayed throughout the establishment... incredible! Such...

とても質の高い旅館でした。接客は丁寧、内装は和洋折衷で大正・昭和を思わせるものです。食事は基本的に和食で板前さんが作る本格的なものです。それなりの蔵書がある図書室もあり、湯治にも利用できそうでした。露天風呂付きの大浴場と外につながる家族風呂があり、目の前の川と山の眺めを見て自然の中での入浴を楽しめます。立地に関して、車で行くと少し通りにくい山道を通ることになります。周囲にコンビニはありませんが、飲泉所2ヶ所と食材や土産を買える道の駅おんせん市場があります。あと、大丸旅館さんだけの話ではないですが、外湯のラムネ温泉館のギャラリーに猫ちゃんがいます。目の前の川はそんなにきれいな川ではないですが大丸旅館さんのせいではないので評価は下げていません This place is a high quality Japanese ryokan that serves genuine Japanese cuisine and naturally carbonated spring bath in a relaxing natural environment and antique-looking furniture. They even have a library (with Japanese books). The location is rural and some drivers may feel nervous driving the narrow winding roads here. There's no convenience store but there are two places where you can drink the spring water and a small grocery store selling some food and souvenirs. Though not about this ryokan, I'd like to inform you that the Lamune Onsen-kan has three adorable cats in its gallery. I'd also like to not that the river in front of this hotel is not very clean, though I don't blame this...
