Rinku Kanamatsu (Rinku Kanamatsu)

This is more of a traditional Japanese guesthouse (minshuku-style Airbnb) rather than a hotel. I was lucky enough to have the entire place to myself, which made my stay even more comfortable. The building itself has a lot of character and you can feel its age, but it was very well cleaned and maintained. There is a newly renovated shower booth on the 2nd floor, so I would especially recommend staying on the 2nd floor if you are a female traveler. The moment I entered, I felt like I was stepping into a Japanese grandmother’s house that I had never actually visited. The atmosphere and the nostalgic scent throughout the house gave me a very unique feeling of old Japan. If you are looking for a modern hotel experience, this may not be the place, but if you want to experience the warmth and charm of an old Japanese home, this is a lovely choice.
