Staying at Andon Ryokan was perfect! It is close to the train station, and a lot of other places. The on site onsen is really well maintained, and the art tile.is so joyful. It's dark and low lit through the main areas, which gives it a sense of comfort like you are entering someone's home. The manager, Taka, is warm, kind, and very accommodating. He took great care in showing us everything we needed to know, and was very patient and someone who has a hard time understanding accented english. The food and coffee was also wonderful. My partner has a whole mackeral, and I had natto, which is a dish I am happy I had the opportunity to try. There's also tea available at any time.
I highly recommend staying here if you can. The environment was stellar.
