Wow, that looks absolutely stunning and beautiful, thank you very much for sharing ! Everything looks so beautiful, full of history and tradition, and with great love to details. The foot bath in your room, the beautiful views from the Ryokan, the amazing food (especially the shabu-shabu and the soup for breakfast) etc. And the onsen, especially the open air free flowing river onsen, look fabulous. One question: can we use our private bathing suite there ? I dont think that the bathing suites provided, will be good for westeners ;-) (in matters of size).

Their icon is special open air bath of river. I never see this time of large open air bath and they are serving bathwear for mixed bath. its really good because even for Japanese, mixed bath is bit challenging and most of ryokans never allow people with bathwear, only large towels. I spent much more time and enjoyed a lot with my wife. Private bath in the room is not big size, but I believe its no issues for westerners to enjoy alone (for 2 people, difficult). They also have large private bath and that is really big (honestly too big for 2 people) and you can enjoy there 24 hours. I highly recommend this ryokan for foreign tourists and hope it helps for your next planning :-)

Seeing all the Japanese maple trees makes me want to visit Tohoku in autumn.

I agreed, but its bit difficult to enjoy peak of autumn color leaves since its almost 2 weeks and the timing changes every year subject to weather conditions. Hope I can see the peak of it in near future and hope you can do it as well!

@@Documentrip2 Autumn is the middle of October? Does it change annually?

[@Documentrip2]

The timing totally depends on the temperture, latitude and altitude. If cold weather comes first, the timing move up. Normally peak of Autumn leaves in Tohoku is mid of October. Nearby Tokyo area, late October-early Novemeber.
