The rooms of Seikoro Inn are based on the traditional Japanese style and have also added modern touches since its renovation. The ryokan has a total of 31 rooms, which interestingly, some of these rooms date back to the 1900s. The rooms cost about 35,000 to 55,000 JPY per night, including a cypress bath and some overlooking the Seikoro garden.
