I recently stayed in the Yamaguchi-Kan Ryokan with my girlfriend for an overnight escape from Tokyo city. On Arrival we were greeted at the bus and escorted inside for check in. After removing our shoes and checking in we were presented with a welcome drink, explained the details of the various onsens (In Japanese) and then shown to our room. The customer service was outstanding and i felt very welcome. The entire inside of the ryokan hes being designed to look like a traditional Japanese edo street, with roofs overhanging, stores, and lanterns, It looked great inside. The onsens were the cleanest i have ever bathed in in Japan, crystal clear water and not one piece of dirt or hair to be found floating around. They empty the onsens, clean and refill them daily. The view from the onsen was amazing, soaking in the hotspring water by the running river and waterfall was so peaceful. Our dinner and breakfarst were great, they even catered for me substituting my sashimi with beef. For Dinner we had a steak set that was presented with a number of other dishes including udon and steamed samon that was cooked at the table. After dinner we went to see the free show offered, here i got to see traditional japanese story telling, Dancing, Drumming and singing. A great free show for a look into traditional culture. Overall i would definitely recommend this ryokan for an escape from the city and a stay in a traditional Japanese style hotel.

It wasn't too difficult catching a local bus from Nakanojo to Shima Onsen Yamaguchi bus stop where the Onsen is located, next to a small gorge. It is up in the mountains, where we get crisp clean air and green scenery for our walks. Our room faced the swift running stream and was large, clean and comfortable. The onsens, indoor and outdoor, were very large and well appointed, facing the gorge. Kaiseki dinner as well as breakfast were served in the restaurant. If we came this way again we would stay here.
