Nanten-En

+The location was really nice, very serene with lots of mountains surrounding the ryokan; +Relatively easy to access (pretty far from Osaka, but close to the train station); +Staff speaks English, so you shouldn't have issues with communication; +They have a lot of instructions/maps/manuals on how to fully enjoy the ryokan, so you shouldn't have trouble figuring out the basics. ~Food was mostly ok, nothing bad or spectacular, good portions; ~Although they do have some SPA elements, it's really not a lot (basically nothing except hot springs and massage) -It's certainly on the older side (not in the sense of it being particularly historical, rather that it would benefit from some renovations), but maybe that adds to the ambiance for some people; -The actual inn territory is rather small, so you won't have much to explore without going outside. Overall, I think it's a good first ryokan to familiarize yourself with the culture a bit, but I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as particularly impressive/authentic experience.

A good ryokan, the only hot spring is not big. Nice view from the window and the garden nearby

結婚13週年紀念日快到了，我和先生安排了這次日式温泉旅遊，酒店環境在大山裡，隔壁就有一條南海線，站名叫天見，酒店在當地叫作南天苑，服務人員都很客氣，但第二天晚食為牛肉小火鍋，酒店提供的是酸湯和花生醬汁，我想要個生雞蛋時等到結束也沒等來，就衹被告知今天晚飯已經結束。住房的話我們訂的是日式房間內部是沒有衞生間與洗漱台的，需要到公共的地方，此處也沒有私湯，都需要去公共澡堂，男女分開但也不大，外籍人員都被安排在晚上10點以後才能去泡湯，第二天的中飯酒店是不提供的，我們去了酒店推薦的一家叫久右衞門的飯店，庭院環境很好，還有小貓但不太理人，吃的不錯菜品一道道上的，量很少日法結合，價格還合適，另外2點後有下午茶和甜品提供，但從酒店走過去有點遠要1公里左右。總的來説一般性，沒有很出挑的地方，下次不會再來了。
