구쓰로기안

일단 스탭 분들이 정말 친절합니다. 숙소의 컨셉 자체가 '숨겨진 온천'이기 때문에 그런지 좀 외진 곳에 있지만, 픽업(미리 컨택한 경우)은 물론 식사, 관광, 쇼핑 등을 스탭이 운전해주는 차를 타고 즐길 수 있었습니다. 고객들과 스탭들이 편안하게 대화를 나눌 수 있는 분위기라서 혼자 여행했음에도 굉장히 즐거웠습니다. 숙소에서 본 경치나 온천, 전반적인 인테리어에서는 전통과 현대가 공존하는 느낌이 있었습니다. 노천탕에서 술 한 잔 가볍게 할 수 있었던 분위기는 특히 좋았습니다. 석식은 먹어보지 못 했지만, 일단 조식은 정갈한 느낌이 강했습니다. 쌀이 유명한 고장이라 그런지 확실히 밥 자체가 맛있었습니다. 가격이 싸지는 않았지만, 나쁘지는 않다고 생각되는 수준입니다. 결론적으로, 객실 수가 딱 3개라는 것 자체가 서비스를 오롯이 받을 수 있다는 뜻임을 확실히 느낄 수 있었습니다. 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 꼭 다시 묵고 싶네요.

It was such a unique experience. Beautiful, traditional room, amazing meal, soothing hot springs and unforgettable staff! One of my best stays anywhere in the world ever!!

This is an exceptional ryokan. Only three rooms but very large rooms with a sunroom with "western style" chairs for those of us who aren't as limber as we used to be. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Quiet location with excellent views of the mountains. The food here is sensational and comes with English explanations of the dishes. They are very particular in adhering to any requests guests may have with regard to what they can and can't eat. The dining room has "western style" seating also. The onsen facilities are excellent. I can't recommend this ryokan highly enough. It is quite something.

A “boutique” ryokan experience which exceeded all our expectations! If you seek a very authentic, “non-touristy” experience in a peaceful mountain setting, and appreciate excellent service, combined with authentic local charm, I can’t recommend this charming inn enough. Our large tatami mat room (beds are Japanese futon, and there is a private washroom) had a generous view of the mountains and valley below, and the countless small rice paddies beginning to sprout (we visited in Spring). The large onsen bath area was reserved for our private use, and included both an indoor and outdoor mineral pool. The kaiseki dining experience, in a private dining room (you can also choose to be served in your suite) was probably what amazed us the most - a seemingly endless bacchanal of specially prepared, and beautifully presented traditional and regional courses. My wife and I found it difficult to imagine that an Edo emperor would have enjoyed a more lavish feast! Though the room rate here is not inexpensive, such a dining experience alone could easily cost the same. Finally, the very friendly and helpful staff exceeded all our expectations. We didn’t have a car, but they kindly drove us to/from the train station, as well as to the local sake brewery and visitor center. This was an unforgettable experience!

Excellent
