Amazing Stay at Ryokan Tsuru

I highly recommend this ryokan if you are visiting Mt Aso. We stayed at the two storied migi room with a private outdoor tub and an indoor jacuzzi. The space was immaculate and spacious. You must book the half board rate that includes the most sumptuous breakfast and dinner you will find anywhere. You will need to take a bus/train to reach the main Aso area but that we no issue for us. Every staff we met extended the highest hospitality we ever experienced.

他の旅館を研究して頑張ってください

カーナビの案内が裏口が示したので、裏口到着で入館しました。戸口に明確な指示があれば良いのにと、思いました。 創作料理とありましたが、素朴な民宿のようなお料理で、味付けも濃いめでした。ソファも沈み込み過ぎて寛げませんでした。 唯一の救いは、かなりご年配の女将さんらしき方が、丁寧な接客をしていただけたことでた。

Trop cher trop vétuste

Mauvais rapport qualité prix. Pension de famille très vieille qui mériterait d être entièrement rénovée. Le repas est bien mais tout est vétuste. Le seul hébergement très décevant pour le prix en trois semaines passées au japon
