Ryokans in Nanjo

"A wonderful stay. The morning service at the temple was a profound experience. The introduction to zazen was great, though Japanese speakers will get most out of this - ditto the lecture before morning service. The meals were excellent, and everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful. All together, this short stay was a true highlight of my month in Japan. If you’re staying over a Tuesday, you should be aware that (all?) the restaurants in Eiheiji village seem to close on that day. I’m sure...

"Very nice view of the lake. Very helpful staff. The rooms have a private onsen hot tub on the balcony. The rooms have tatami and are set up to sleep on the floor. You can request a bed frame to elevate the futon, but it's better to request a bed when making the reservation (although you may enjoy sleeping on a futon, Japanese style)."

"3/30に開催された「ふくい桜マラソン」に、夫と息子が出るために、前日から宿泊しました。とっても残念だったのは、ホテル側はそのことを分かっていたはずなのに、朝食はいつも通りの7時からで、スタートに間に合わないため、食べることができませんでした。マラソン需要で、高い宿泊代を払ったのにも関わらず、豪華な朝食を食べられ無かったのがとても心残りです。福井市が開催しているイベントなので、そのあたりの配慮が有った方が良いかと思います。"

"This is a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are a little dated by current standards but the view and the staff make up for that. The dining experience was great and the hostess was so helpful and genuine. The food was excellent. We when on the morning cruise with departed from the lakefront of the hotel. The hotel provides a breakfast bento to eat while you cruise. So happy we stayed here. "
