수이수이 가든 료칸

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.

가족여행으로 2박 숙박하게 되었었는데, 정말 만족스러웠습니다. 굉장히 넓고 깔끔한 숙소여서 좋았고, 바로 앞에 보이는 정원 뷰도 정말 예뻤습니다. 크게 비싸지 않은 가격에 이런 숙소에서 머물 수 있어 좋았습니다. 다만, 겨울이었기도 하고 숙소가 워낙 큰 료칸식 건물이다 보니 히터를 틀지 않으면 생각보다 춥다는 점만 알아두시면 됩니다. 기타큐슈에 위치해있기도 하고, 2월 말에 숙박을 했었어서 그렇게 춥지 않을 줄 알았지만 그렇지 않았습니다. 특히 복도에 있는 히터를 틀지 않으면 거실이나 침실의 히터를 틀더라도 계속해서 찬 바람이 불어와서 굉장히 춥습니다...ㅠㅠ
