This is something of an interesting and different setup in that this ryokan is contained within a larger hotel, the Art Hotel Kokura New Tagawa, which is where you check in. It's something of a best of both worlds, as you have the comfort and style of a traditional inn, supported by all the amenities and staff of a modern-style hotel. I opted to include the Kaiseki Tasting menu for dinner, and it's something that was absolutely amazing - definitely include this option! Breakfast was amazing as well. The room I stayed in was large and spacious (technically a suite as it had separate sleeping and sitting rooms), and though there was not a public bath, there was a very nice private bath in the suite. The sitting room opens up to a screened patio/porch bordering on the Japanese garden, for a lovely and tranquil view. A wonderful place to stay and experience, and one I would definitely recommend.

行李進出不方便, 懷石料理也不太出色

가족과 함께 좋은 곳에서 시간을 잘 보내다가 왔습니다. 멋있는 정원과 내부도 전통적으로 매우 좋았습니다. 밤에 살짝 추웠던 것 빼고는 좋았습니다.

It was a present stay, nice hotel, large room, nice garden. However, last year we stayed in Japanese room in Art Hotel (the same building) it was much newer. This suisui room is very nice but bathroom a bit damp and scary for kids.

넓고 직원분도 굉장히친절하십니다
