또 오고싶어요~

한국인에겐 좀 추울 수 있는,.. 베란다에 샤워실, 화장실, 세면대가 있는 느낌이였어요 새벽에 넘 추웠으나 비데가 있어 넘 천만다행 오래된 느낌이나 낡진 않았어요 관리가 잘 되어있고 청결도도 좋아요 온천은 물이 뜨겁진 않아서 그냥저냥 잘 즐길만했어요 응대는 좋으시나 제가 일본어 영어 둘다 원활하게 하는 편은 아니여서 좀 헤맸으나 파파고 들고가세요 아예 소통이 안되진 않아요! 포근한곳이였어요 직원분들 모두 인상적이시고 좋아요 기회가 된다면 다시 방문해서 다 누려보고싶네요 ㅎㅎ

美味しい海産物を食べるために選んだ宿でしたが食事は並レベル、期待外れでした。通された部屋は洋室で高い天井の重厚な造り、その天井やドア、窓枠などは今どき見られない骨董美術品を思わせる素敵なものでしたが昔ながらの浴室とトイレが一緒の狭い空間に洗面台、不便でした。部屋の暖房も効きが悪くコントロールが難しい部屋でした。

조용하게 여유를 즐기는 여행으로 가라츠. 우오한을 완전 추천합니다. 바닷가 앞이라 산책도 좋고 대욕탕 전망도 굿!! 프라이빗 노천탕도 너무 좋아요 진짜 강추!! 아침 조식 퀄리티도 너무 좋아요 다음에도 또 가고 싶을 정도입니다. 료칸 바로근처 초밥집도 꼭 가세요!! 인생 초밥을 만날 수 있습니다.

The hosts are friendly even though they speak little English. Parking is sufficient. Room is clean and tidy. Food is delicious, especially dinner. Supermarket is right opposite the onsen, convenient to shop. The only thing concerns me is lacking of charging ports.

全体的に建物設備が老朽化でした。元は老舗の歴史ある建物だと思い期待してたのですが、古さがちょっと良くない方に出てますね。ちゃんと手入れや補修をすれば素晴らしい旅館になると思います。こういう旅館を盛り上げられないのが残念です
