Ryokan Adumaya

Really surprised by the two recent poor reviews of this place. Perhaps room type makes a difference? But, for us, this was an incredible experience in every way possible. We stayed in the room called "Ichii", a Deluxe Room with its own ensuite outdoor hot spring bath (there are large public baths here as well, indoor and out). The meals were phenomenal. The first night's meal was a full, multi-course kaiseki with the most delicious, locally-raised Mi-kumano beef shabu-shabu I have EVER eaten (melts in your mouth like butter!). Bedding was traditional, very plush and comfy, on-the-floor futons. Breakfast was also traditional and very hearty. The outdoor public bath was lovely. The service provided by the employees could not have been better. We paid ¥290,400 or about $1.916 for four people, two nights or about $240 per person per night, breakfasts and dinners included. We felt it was WELL worth the price.
