A century-old inn fused into the trees, Gora Kansuiro draws foreign guests for natural free-flowing onsen, tatami rooms where futons appear at dinner, a beautiful if webby garden, and a smiling butler — Yuki named. But heritage crosses into neglect for some: mold rings and stained walls, thin sound and light insulation, paid toothbrushes and fridge drinks, scarce outlets, no towel racks, termites on first-floor tatami, and even private-onsen rooms that route bathing to the public bath. Ordinary dinners with hard dry grilled fish cap the complaints.
