Eirakukan

Many pluses. A short, pleasant walk from the Bandai Atami station (I chose not to take the shuttle), so that sight-seeing trips over my stay were easy. Dinner and breakfast each day were outstanding - each a memorable meal in itself. My room was spacious, with tatami floors and beds. The view across to the hills was pleasing (although the local trainline passes close to the ryokan). The o-yu (bath) facilities were delightful - two different baths, each also with separate outside baths. I made use of these mornings and evenings. And I savored an hour in the private o-yu downstairs. Staff were engaging, charming and helpful. I look forward to the chance to be back.

Location was fantastic - close to train station, beautiful Sakura (cherry blossoms) nearby, hotel facilities were fantastic, and staff always went above and beyond to help with way-finding and itinerary planning. Highly recommend.

The Ryokan was remote and yet with very easy access to a nearby train station and a convenience store. Service was impeccable.

Fantastic rooms that were both classic and modern. Onsen were great and tattoo-friendly. Enjoyed the massage chairs and popsicles afterwards.

Very friendly atmosphere, relaxed and quiet.
