Fodor's Expert Review Ryokan Terazuya
60--3 Tenjin-machi, Matsue, Shimane-ken, 690-0064, Japan
The same family has maintained a tradition of heartwarming hospitality at this charming riverside ryokan since 1893, but it's a strictly cash-only operation. Rooms vary in size but are air-conditioned, and the location is perfect for watching the famous Matsue sunset. The food is superb and of an astounding variety—virtually all the local seafood and vegetable specialties, both raw and cooked, are served. English is spoken, and your kind hosts may even demonstrate sushi making and a tea ceremony.
PROS
- high level of hospitality
- train station pickup service
- great dinner (as add-on)
CONS
- no private baths
- noise from the street and nearby Shirakata Shrine
- guests have to be back in the ryokan by 10 pm
