Strong Recommendation.

Ryokan's driver gave me a ride(shuttle service) from Yunohira station to Ryokan. And then I did check-in process. The room I stayed was very Clean. Staffs are very kind and especially, some are able to communicate well in English, so I had no difficulties durimg staying. Meal they serve (dinner on 1st day & breakfast on 2nd day) were delicious. I didn't take my phone while I was in hotspring so I don't have any picture of it, but the exterior bath was FANTASTIC. I strongly recommend you to use exterior bath uf you visit SHIMIZU RYOKAN. If you have some kind of wonder with "Japanese Ryokan", I want you to visit here.
A picture of breakfast. Rice and Miso soup is not on the picture, but staff brought them as I took seat.
A picture of dishes among dinner course. just "GREAT"

료칸 분위기가 너무 좋고, 사람이 많지 않았어서 동굴 온천과 야외 온천도 프라이빗하게 즐길 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 개인탕은 예약이 필요한데, 굳이 예약하지 않아도 괜찮았습니다! 유카타와 게다 양말, 게다도 함께 제공이 되며 석식과 조식도 모두 맛있었습니다. 갈치 파이가 신기했어요ㅎㅎ 그리고 주변 마을이 스즈메의 문단속 배경이 되는 마을이라 너무 예뻤습니다. 공사 중인건 좀 아쉬웠구요. 밤에 거리의 불이 켜졌을 때 등을 주시는데, 이 때 산책을 하는 것도 너무 좋았습니다. 렌트카를 이용하여 찾아가는 데는 큰 무리가 없었습니다!

정말 좋은 경험이었습니다. 일본어, 영어, 한국어 전부 사용해서 의사소통이 잘 되도록 힘써주시는 것이 인상깊었습니다. 매우 친절하시고, 픽업도 저희 시간에 맞춰주시는것은 물론 돌아가는 차편까지 상세하게 알려주셨습니다. 석식은 푸짐하게, 조식은 담백하게 나와 부담없이 즐겼습니다! 방도 사진으로 보는것보다 훨씬 넓습니다 ㅎㅎ 동굴온천, 노천도 분위기 좋게 잘 되어있었고 주변 풍경을 이용해서 사진찍기 좋습니다. 모든 직원분이 기분좋게 맞이해주셔서 기분좋게 왔다 갈 수 있었어요☺️ 감사했습니다.

조용한 온천마을에서 가이세키 요리를 즐길 수 있습니다.

주인 아저씨의 유쾌한 대응이 인상깊었던 곳입니다. 한국어는 못하셨지만 유쾌한 말투와 제스처로 뜻을 알아들을 수 있었습니다. 유후인에서 좀 떨어져 있는 곳인데 유후인이 바글바글했던 것에 비해 여기는 사람이 없는 한적한 곳이라는 것이 장점도 되고 단점도 되는 것 같습니다. 문을 닫은 곳도 꽤 있는 것 같았습니다. 조용한 온천마을을 즐기고 싶다면 추천할만합니다. 가이세키 식사는 풍부했고 기대보다 맛이 좋았습니다. 한국에서 잘 못 느꼈던 독특한 맛을 느꼈는데 요리사의 실력이 뛰어나다고 생각했습니다.

다음 휴가도 이곳에 머물거에요~!

사장님을 포함한 스탭분들이 과할정도로 친절하셔서 굉장히 감사하고 편안하게 머물다 왔습니다. 동굴온천은 풍경으로도 운치있고 수질도 너무 좋았습니다. 안에 수증기가 가득차서 물에 들어가지 않고 앉아있어도 피부가 촉촉하고 근육통이 치유되는 느낌 이었습니다. 음식은 정갈하고 아름답게 차려지며, 코스로 나오는데 양도 많고 맛 또한 훌륭했습니다. 평소 채소를 싫어하는 동생이 다 먹을 정도였습니다. 양이 많아 남긴 걸 아쉬워하니 주먹밥으로 만들어서 방까지 가져다 주셨습니다. 그리고 배탈나면 안되니까 적당히 먹고 배 문지르고 온천하고 푹 쉬라고도 해주셨습니다. 료칸은 마을의 중간에서 약간 위쪽에 있는데 아침에는 위로 산책하며 신사를 보러가기 좋았고, 저녁에는 아래로 가며 홍등아래로 돌길을 거닐기 좋았습니다. 그리고 렌트카로 오시는 분들은 참고해주세요. 주차장이 굉장히 넓습니다.

낮선 곳인데다 유후인에서도 멀리 떨어져 있는듯해서 출발전부터 걱정아닌 걱정이 떠나지 않았는데, 유후인에 도착해서 확인했더니 오이타행 기차를 타고 출발시간을 알려주면 유노히라역에 마중을 나오는 체계를 갖추고 있었다 번거롭고 어렵다 느껴질 수 있겠지만 시골역 기차여행은 무심한 듯 셋팅되어 있는 꼭 있어야 하는 순간이었다 일본전통 료칸에 대한 환상은 환상속에만 묻어 두라는 얘기를 많이 들었었는데 모든 순간이 여유롭고 좋았다 말도 통하지 않은 상황이었지만 극진한 대접을 받고 편안히 지내다 와서 시골료칸에 대한 좋은 환상을 계속 품게 될거다
