Sakamoto-ya Review
Established in 1895, this wooden ryokan is the oldest lodging in town, and it seems to have changed very little over time. It's small and has extremely personalized service and fragrant Japanese hinoki (cypress) bathtubs. The cost of the rooms varies according to size and location, but charges always include breakfast and dinner. The restaurant specializes in shippoku, which takes its name from Chinese kanji meaning dinner table, available for ¥3,500.
