Daikokuya Ryokan

Overall my room was clean. In terms of presentation, it is more on the old, worn-out side like it could use a new coat of paint & wallpaper. The hallways, my room, & bedding had a particular smell. I asked for a room with no/minimal cigarette smell, which I think they did, so I think the smell is just from how old the building is. It's not a bad smell, just off-putting like I wonder how often they wash everything. I can't say how clean the onsen was because I didn't wear my glasses, but it seemed fine. Decent size & perfect temperature for me. In terms of onsens & shrines, it's in a good spot. A few restaurants to choose from, but not much else in terms of shopping. Decent distance from Goryokaku Park though! The staff is very polite & appears to remember their guests so they'd quickly give me my key when I returned each night, without needing to ask or verify room numbers. Got all of the amenities & provided a new set of everything each night (even more tea & hot water). They give you water & a cookie for free & you can buy a drink or ice cream from a little refrigerator/freezer next to the front desk. However, again I wonder how often they do their laundry or cut corners because one of the hanten (outer coat of yukata) had what seemed like a food stain. Debatably not the biggest deal to me, but admittedly it is gross to think I worn something to bed that someone else did too. What bothered me more was the noise. I don't think it was other rooms or traffic, but random, loud thuds. Overall a decent experience. In terms of pricing, I'm not familiar with how much onsen/ryokan usually are or how much a very nice one is. I think this one is on the cheaper spectrum, but it can definitely be better in terms of presentation. A good renovation would help a lot.

旅館有天然溫泉，餐食也還不錯，但是房間的設施太老了，沒有空調，只有一台老式的冷風機，榻榻米配的又是厚被子，入住體驗差強人意。

旅館硬件設施太陳舊，也沒有電梯。進大門就要換拖鞋，感覺進了澡堂，房間像90年代國內的旅館。
