"キレイな部屋でした。 1階のレンタカー屋と一緒のチェクインカウンター、2階がチェックアウトカウンターなので注意です。泊まった部屋はベッドサイドにコンセントが無かったので寝そべりながらスマホいじりは出来ません。予約の際に喫煙、禁煙の記述が無かったので問い合わせたら予約は喫煙部屋だが禁煙部屋が空いているので変更可能とのことで変更してもらえました。2階に懐かしのマンガがズラリと並んでいたので、部屋に閉じこもって読み耽るのも良いかも？"

Yumotokan

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely amazing experience. Only feedback is to slow down the kaiseki dishes as it felt a bit rushed at times. But other than that, a perfect getaway. Highly highly recommend, especially for first time ryokan goers. The most important part of a ryokan is its food - and this was impeccable. Thank you!"
