Fodor's Expert Review Tamachi Bukeyashiki Hotel

Perhaps the fanciest ryokan in town, the Tamachi Bukeyashiki Hotel has dark-wood floors, antique furnishings, glowing lanterns, and shoji screens that give the place a warm and welcoming vibe. The property is surrounded with black wooden fences, just like those of samurai houses. It's in a convenient location for shopping and sightseeing, and the nearby historic neighborhood is a great place to stroll, particularly in the evening after the tourists are gone. A Japanese breakfast—including locally grown vegetables and rice—is included in the standard rates.
