Cuisine
Kaiseki dinner and Japanese breakfast are usually included at this mid-tier ryokan. Sudomari (room-only) plans may be offered as a cheaper alternative — verify the meal plan when booking. Dining is most often served in a communal dining hall.
Dietary requests (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, allergies) should be communicated at booking, not on arrival — the kitchen pre-orders ingredients several days ahead.
