This is an absolutely fantastic onsen ryokan. With pretty much no cell phone signal that penetrates the deep valley, it is perfect for those who really want to get away from it all. It's not that far but you really are deep in the mountains.
The natural outdoor baths here are amazing. They are fenced on 3 sides and you sign up for time slots to use them privately.

The sleep that I had after taking multiple baths and feeling a bit tipsy from the Yonezawa sake Toko was the best I had all year of 2022. It was just amazing. No words. I will happily go again. Leaving this wonderful little Ryokan left me with some sad emotions but we must go...
