Pleasant for a simple stay at this ryokan.

I had another great experience at a Japanese ryokan. The owner was caring and efficient with what he needed to do before handing over room key.

Very old. Mediocre cleanliness. Awkward trying to communicate with the owner/host. It was our least favorite place we stayed with in Japan. Should have been much cheaper considering the quality of the accomodations.

It's a beautiful Showa Era Ryokan that's over 70 years old. There is a 200 yen accommodation tax when checking in (this tax applies for all accommodations in Fukuoka), which I happily paid for as I want to support sustainable tourism). You leave your shoes at the main entrance and use slippers throughout the Ryokan. You are provided a toothbrush, yukata, and a prepared tea set that you can pour hot water in immediately to consume. I believe I met the owner's father, who checked me in. He was incredibly patient, introduced me to my room (which was clean and tidy), set up my bedding, and guided me to where the facilities were while explaining in Japanese with some English translations. The amenities are a little outdated, but in exchange-- the accommodation is affordable and breakfast is an available option. The walls are also a little thin-- so you will hear some noise from the outside, this did not bother me though as the area was quiet during the night. The check-out time is 10AM and I easily did so by leaving my room key in the basket at the main entrance. In summary, the Yamamoto Ryokan is an affordably wonderful and historic place to spend your nights. They have an instagram: @yamamotoryokan and a cute Shiba Inu dog named; Charmie. I sadly didn't get to meet the dog but heard them barking in the morning.

都会の中の小さな迷路屋敷

トイレ、風呂が共同なので、慣れていないと面倒かも。トイレは狭く、便器から扉までの距離が30㎝も無いくらいなので、方向転換も難しい。部屋が増築で造られたのか、迷路のようになっていて、方向音痴の人にはオススメしません。それを楽しめる人には良いと思います。 良い意味で何も無いので、寝泊まりだけなら有りです。 玄関にいるシバ犬は可愛く、全く吠えない。番犬にはならないが、お子さんでも安心して触れ合えると思います。

화장실은 1층과 2층 각 화장실과 세면실이 있어서 불편함이 없었는데, 목욕시설은 1층 2개여서 시간에 따라 사람이 몰리면 기다려야 하는 아쉬움은 있었습니다. 그거 말고는 모두 만족했어요. 특히 위치가 매우 좋습니다.

그다지 좋지는 않음

이 숙소의 장점은 저렴한 가격에 역 근처의 숙소를 이용할 수 있다는 것이고 그 외에는 전부 단점이라고 볼 수 있다. 방에 들어갔을 때도 머리카락이 떨어져 있어서 청결도 면에서는 불합격이라고 볼 수 있고 공용 목욕탕도 1970년대의 느낌을 연상케하는 시설이다. 다만 여관 주인이나 스태프는 친절한 편이고 일찍 와서도 짐을 맡기고 돌아다닐 수는 있다. 참고로 가을에만 와도 밤에 잘 때 추워서 얼어죽을 수 있으니 추운 시기에는 피하는 것이 좋다. 실질적으로 그다지 추천하지는 않으나 정말 역 근처에 저렴한 숙소를 원한다면 하루정도는 머물만하다.
