Make a visit to Shoraiso, you will not be disappointed.
Pros:

Amazing baths, architecture, and ambiance. You feel like you’re the only people there. The service and attention they pay their guests is incredible. The food was excellent, and the overall experience was unforgettable. The public baths next door at Yoroduya were incredible and a very special experience to enjoy. It was well worth staying here!

Cons:

My only complaint is that as a westerner with bigger feet (US11), the slippers available (especially the ones for outdoor use) were all too small. Once I’d taken a pair I felt awkward asking to exchange them!

This is a must-visit A+++ ryokan with outstanding food!
Pros:

We stayed three glorious nights in this fantastic ryokan in Yudanaka. Everything was A+++ - our room was beautifully designed, spacious and easy to use; the bathroom large and equipped with everything you need; the Kaiseki dinners and breakfast were the best we had in Japan, this chef is a genius, and he even prepared a few courses in front of us! We had a private outdoor bath which was exquisite. The service was excellent, the entire staff so kind and helpful. Worth every penny y and more. Thank you Shoraiso for making our stay perfect!

Cons:

Nothing - everything was fantastic.

A haven of peace and quiet luxury.
Pros:

The calm, peaceful and simple luxury. The private onsen and garden in the room are incredibly relaxing. The dinner and breakfast are superb. I have a fish allergy and chef tweaked the menu keeping the quality and range of dishes delicious and exciting.
We stayed in Kiku. Very comfortable futon beds and great sleep.
The staff are superb, kind and professional.

Cons:

Nothing. We wish we could have stayed longer and will return!
