Central easy walk to great restaurants and quenelles and sightseeing highlights of Yanagawa. Modern reception with ultra friendly staff who made us feel most welcome even with the language barrier. Kuniko-San was on reception when we checked in and served us breakfast each day. She was so helpful, engaging and incredibly welcoming. Traditional Japanese Breakfast was included in our tariff and changed each morning, delicious, pickled vegetables, grilled fish, rice with Tsukudani, miso , marinated octopus with vegetables, tamago & green tea & filter coffee. The room was traditional Japanese large and spacious 10 tatami with extra futons for increased cushion. The best part was the view from the room overlooking a lovely traditional Japanese garden, very private, and shielded from the bright morning sun by surrounding trees. I highly recommend this lovely hotel for an authentic Japanese experience

We stayed at the Hakuryuso in May 2012. We were not sure what the place would be like, and booked through the Japanican website. There were three of us traveling together. Upon check-in we found that our room was large, and on the ground floor overlooking the beautiful Japanese garden. This time of year, the irises were in full bloom. Dinner was an adventure - a multi-course dinner was served in our room. The server spoke English which was very helpful, and she explained each dish to us. After dinner, she set up the futon bedding in the room, which was quite comfortable. There is a private bathroom in each of the rooms, but hotel guests can also use the communal soaking tubs down the hall. Breakfast was served in the hotel dining room which had beautiful views of the garden, and was also a multi-course affair. We enjoyed the food and especially the presentation. So many dishes, small portions, so beautifully presented. Be aware that there is not western food at this hotel, so if you are averse to sashimi, unagi, rice, and pickled vegetables, this might not be the place for you. We were not able to get the WIFI to work although the hotel gave us a password. The persons at the front desk barely spoke any English, so we got by the best we could. They did understand some of our basic questions - like asking for a taxi, when is breakfast, etc. The hotel is clean, and very quiet. The room was large (but be aware that Japanese style rooms don't have much furniture -- no bed to rest on if you are tired in the afternoon.) We were exhausted after a day of traveling and touring, and ended up sitting upright in the two chairs in the room. The other option was to sit on the tatami mat floor, which we thought was uncomfortable. My sister was so tired, she simply lay on the floor and took a short nap. Note that the room rate includes dinner and breakfast. The stay was pleasant, and I would consider returning in the future if my travels take me to Yanagawa.
