チェックインの際、外国の方だったので戸惑いがありました。アメニティや浴衣の説明がなく、後から気付いて取りに行きました。 温泉は泉質がいいのか、お肌つるつるしっとりしていました。食事も美味しかったです。炊き込みごはんは米が何か違うような気がしましたが味は美味しかったです。朝の白米はつやつやでしておそらく新米でした。 貸切湯が宿泊者は半額ということでしたが、ここは無料の宿が多いので無料にするべきだと思いました。 お部屋は清潔感もありよかったです。 割引きで安く泊まれてこのクオリティまた泊まりたいと思えました、チェックアウトも11時で朝もゆったり準備できました。お世話になりましたありがとうございました。

８０代の足が少し不自由な母と一緒だったのですが、車椅子を準備していただいたのですごく助かりました。部屋には母用の椅子が準備されていました。 施設の場所は温泉街って感じではないですが、車通りもそんなになくとても静かでのんびりと過ごすことができました。 温泉も混雑なくゆっくり利用することができいい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。

일본 산중의 시골 료칸을 원한다면 추천

오래된 료칸을 리모델링하여 깔끔하면서도 전통 료칸의 분위기가 남. 대중교통 이용시 후쿠오카시에서 공항리무진을 타고 오다가 고속도로 정류장에서 내려 시골버스를 타고 가다가 다시 내려서 10분 정도 걸어가야하는 번거로움이 있으나, 일본의 산중 시골에서 휴식을 즐길 수 있는 기회가 많지 않으니 한번 체험해볼만함.
