The food was great. I have been to some ryokans where the food is underwhelming (even though they are like 10 course kaiseki). But here, dinner and breakfast were both great. And the staff were very accommodating and they spoke basic English. The place is extremely serene. And actually quite small which i enjoyed. I stayed during holiday season so I think there was a bit of surge of price, but at a normal price, it would be a great deal. Also, around the ryokan, the town has a cool temple and a cute roads and places that could be an hour or two of touring

The onsen bath is quite underwhelming. Very small.

This is one of the best Ryokan I did ( I did quite a few). The value for the price I paid was incredible. Staff and service was stellar. Food was great. Location and surroundings superb, and the building itself spacious with a beautiful Japanese garden. The bath was small-ish and simple, but still used source water(onsen).

the breakfast was excellent and the facility was comfortable, but slightly dated. The staff were excellent and very friendly and were doing the best to facilitate our needs despite language barriers.

The facilities were clean and just dated. There was some evidence of wear and tear on the property. I understand that security is a priority for any facility, but I would have loved it if I cold open the window within the bath.
