An authentic historic ryokan over the river — water noise carries into rooms — Ichinoyu Honkan gives tattooed guests private onsen rooms since public baths exclude ink, plus bookable private baths anyway. Kaiseki dinner overflows (one guest could not finish), breakfast is fully Japanese, umbrellas are free and bags stored early. The age shows; old but loved sums it up.
