After spending 10 days in Tokyo, this was the perfect break to relax and unwind with some good drinks and tasty food. Staff was fantastic, had english speakers, and days before I was supposed to arrive, they sent incredibly detailed instructions on how to get there, which was greatly appreciated. I was in Japan for 3 weeks, and my time at Kashiwaya Ryokan was easily the most relaxed I was during the whole vacation. Highly recommend
