Hidden grand old hotel

In an excellent location just a short elk further down the ryokan, views of Karatsu castle can be seen. Great place to photograph the castle with spectacular sunset

手入れの行き届いた素敵なお宿

130年経つ建物だそうですが、手入れが行き届いていて趣があり、大事にされてきた気持ちが伝わるようなお宿で、対応にもそれが現れています。 女将さんの着物姿もとても素敵で大変よくしていただきました。 朝食の麦粥もとても美味しかったです。 次回は夕食付きで宿の滞在を楽しみたいです。 夏は裏の浜で泳げるそうです。

지금까지 가 본 료칸중에 가장 만족도가 높습니다

지금까지 일본에서 많은 료칸을 다녀봤지만 요요카쿠만큼 완벽한 곳은 없었습니다. 정원과 건물이 아름다우며 연식이 있는데도 관리가 아주 잘 되어 있습니다. 청결도, 친절도, 조식 모든게 최고였습니다. 목욕탕 또한 크진 않지만 깨끗합니다. 전통료칸을 체험하고 싶다면 요요카쿠 매우 추천합니다.

I live in Japan, and this is my favorite place where to stay. Five generations have kept and expanded this ryokan from its humble beginnings as a restaurant more than a hundred and twenty years ago, traces of which can still be appreciated at the front structure of the complex. Inside you will be greeted by an always friendly staff. A long hall entirely built on wood, crosses over a pond leading visitor to the central yard of the ryokan, a beautiful garden displaying Kyushu’s pine trees and Japanese outer landscapes. At night you can enjoy delicious dinner at the room while seating over tatami and listening to the sound of waves from the nearby sea. Each room has its own personality and characteristics.

Great Ryokan

Great Ryokan with tradition and heritage. Beautiful building, clean rooms, serene garden, enthusiastic and helping staff. Japanese breakfast and Kaiseki dinner was top-notch. Can't ask for more in a pretty quiet town of Karatsu.

想像以上にいいサービスとおもてなしでした

非常に問い合わせの段階で丁寧で夕飯が付いていませんでしたが、代案のご案内をくれるなど助かりました。 中居さんもとても親切でお迎え時点から期待が高まりお部屋もとても綺麗でした。 唯一あるとすればお風呂のお湯が少しぬるめだったこと。 長く入ってもらいたい為と思いますし、人それぞれ好きな温度もありますので、それぐらいの温度設定なんでしょうね。 古い家屋でもwifiも繋がりしっかり暖房は効いてました。 ご飯も頂いたのは朝食だけでしたが、とても美味しかったです。麦のおかゆもなかなか食べる機会はなかったのでいい経験です。 また泊まってもいいなーって思えるお宿でした。
