serene ryokan stay

beautiful kimonosdelicious matchaconsiderate staffdifficult shower
i loved the details throughout the room, it felt very authentic and high-quality. there were beautiful kimonos provided for use in the room, i enjoyed the surprise of matcha cakes upon my late return to the hotel as it was my birthday. they even gave us an umbrella when it rained, which i found considerate.
the shower was good, but it was a bit difficult to use. this was because i needed to keep body and hair products away from the cedar tub, it was right alongside it!
