"Great stay. The staff speaks limited English so use google translate and limited dinner choices nearby. Otherwise a really amazing place"

"極體很好。員工有禮，笑容可掬。早餐美味。我只是覺得床鋪有點軟。"

"Warm bedroom and reliable hot water for showering in winter. Good for a night in Kakunodate, or more. Breakfast (if purchased when booking) was served in the guesthouse's Italian restaurant just beside. Thin walls though the other guests were considerate to minimise noise during my stay. The owner, Eiko, is a very easygoing and friendly lady. I regret I had to leave."

"The staff were very friendly and attentive! The ryokan was beautiful in the snow. In the best possible way, we had a great time laughing with the staff over my stilted Japanese. The lady who showed us our room went above and beyond to make us feel at home. We had a lovely time at Shikitei, and I hope we return!"

" One of the baths was shut down unexpectedly for repairs. They drove us to a connected hotel so we could use that facility."

"Amazing views and got to experience the full traditional ryokan/onsen experience. Staff was very nice especially to foreigners."

"Perfect spot to get rid of the city life "

"Das Haus ist sehr schön und groß. Es ist mit allem eingerichtet, was man braucht, wenn man sich selbst verpflegen möchte. Das frisch zubereitete Essen mit Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten schmeckt hervorragend. Die Gastgeber sind super nett und behandeln einen nicht wie Hotelgäste, sondern wie Freunde. Ich werde in jedem Fall dort wieder einen längeren Aufenthalt planen."
