Aya was the perfect host. I can't say enough thank you to her.
First, the place. So, this is an hostel/ryokan. It's BEAUTIFUL. The decoration is astounding. Themed around kimonos and traditional Japanese arts. You can even rent a kimono at the place. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, pretty, the bed is comfortable, huge, there is a washing machine in each room, the bathroom is the cleanest I've ever seen, everything is practical and pretty. The breakfirst is delicious and all the people working at Yuuntei are dazzling with kindness and inner beauty. It's humbling how well we were well treated. Aya helped us so many times. She gave us good advice on places to buy a kimono, she managed to find a beautiful flower bouquet for my mom's birthday, she spent a lot of time and energy helping me put a kimono on, she helped us get in a car to the station when we left... And these are just a few exemples. Plus, the place is well located. The services and comfort and ambiant at Yuuntei were way above the price of the rooms. It's our best experience ever. We will remember our stay here for a long long time. I HIGHLY recommend this place. Like, really, do not hesitate. If you have a chance to stay there, go for it. You won't regret it.
