Positive: I have stayed in many ryokan over the years. In spite of the recent trend for ryokan to economise - leading to a reduction in the kind of detailed service that makes a ryokan stay so special - Rankeisou is doing its very best to protect the integrity of the country inn tradition for a deeply satisfying stay. The onsen water here apparently has very special qualities and I thoroughly enjoyed both the big and private baths - the water feels marvellous. Also praise to the chef for the beauty, variety and honesty of his meals - with skilful use of local ingredients. Our room was spacious with an exhilarating view of the fast flowing river. I especially loved the care taken to display fresh flowers of the season round every corner of the intriguing winding corridors.

Negative: Absolutely nothing to complain about.

Summary: Generous country ryokan with very special onsen water and good honest food

Positive: River view from the room whilst snowing during winter is fantastic. Exceptional service from our hostess. Futons are laid out and packed away during dinner and breakfast Traditional Japanese meals made from local seasonal ingredients Use of private onsen rooms for families

Negative: During winter, it is difficult for guests with luggage to move them from the carpark to reception due to the snow. Suggest implementing a procedure in winter for guests to drop off and pickup luggage, such as using the staff entrance, and informing guests of this prior to arrival.

Positive: The snowy landscape of the river and mountain slope at this ryokan is beautiful beyond words. The view from our River-view room is awesome and totally worth it. Madam boss is very hospitable and there was a great variety of food at every meal. The beef shabu shabu was melt in the mouth beef and portions are generous! The public onsen was nice especially the outdoor one though a little small but most of the time, you have it to yourself.

Negative: Nothing at all.

Summary: Very beautiful and enjoyable stay. We would love to come back again.
