駅近で観光地が多い和室ホテル

タイからの外国人の友人の要望で、和室ホテルを検索。 外観と部屋の写真を見て迷わずに、予約完了！ 実際に入室すると和室特有の香りと和菓子とお茶（お湯がすでに用意されていた！）で、友人も大変満足して、とても有意義な宿泊ができた。

Easily accessible by bus and close to the tourist area. The staff speak good English and were helpful with looking for transportation option for my next stop. The only downside is that they do not have wifi in the room.

장점 비즈니스 호텔 처럼 좁지 않고 일본 전통 다다미 방식으로 침대를 싫어하는 나에게 좋았음. 목욕탕이 있어서 좋고 지하철역에서도 2분 내 거리. 가격도 저렴하여 좋음 단점 로비에서는 인터넷이 되나 방에서는 인터넷이 안된다. 밤 11시에 문을 닫는다. 야경 촬영이 어렵다.

別館はちょっと…

別館に案内されたのですが、本館から非常口にて一旦出て隣の館へ。あいにくの雨で、本館地下の大浴場まではスリッパはダメとの事で履いていた濡れた靴で向かい、また履いて別館の部屋までの移動。さすがにスッキリしたとは言えない…

Excellent location. Close to 1000 shops!

It's right in front of subway exit. Turn to the street on the right to find yourself bask in restaurants and shops. Turn to the left to get Japanese style souvenirs. Straight ahead a beautiful temple exists. Everything is within walking distance. The hotel itself offers traditional way of living. Wear your yukata lent from the hotel. Drink as much ocha tea as you want. Bathe yourself in the hot tub. Minus : no wifi in your room.
