Best Ryokan in Karatsu

The western style room was AMAZING. The ryokan has it's own bathing facilities which are also awesome.

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。

또 가고싶은 료칸 우오한

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.

편안하게 쉴 수 있는 곳!

가라쓰가 작은마을이라 짧은기간동안 다 돌아볼수가있어요 그 중에서도 와타야료칸은 저렴한 편이고 마쓰우라강뷰도 멋지고 직원분들도 친절하십니다 갈땐 송영차도 준비해주셨어요 다만 오래된 시설로 낡은부분들이 보였습니다 그 점만빼면 100퍼만족

조용히 휴식할 수 있는 좋은 료칸

좀 늦게 도착하여 나카이상이 이부자리를 준비하는 상황에서 좀 재촉한 감이 있음. 그 외에는 모든 것이 매우 좋았음. 주변 지역은 매우 조용하여, 조용한 곳을 좋아하는 사람들에게는 안성맞춤임.

좋은 위치, 합리적인 가격

역사가 있는 저택을 료칸으로 사용하는 곳으로 가라쓰 역에서 걸어갈 수 있는 거리로 가까운 곳에 좋은 식당과 구가라쓰은행이 있고 가라쓰성, 가라쓰신사, 히키야마 전시관, 구타카토리 저택을 걸어서 갈 수 잇는 좋은 위치입니다. 좀 낡은 건물이지만 잘 관리되어 있으며 직원들도 친절한 편입니다. 천연온천이 있지만 도시 한가운데라서 노천탕은 자연의 분위기는 나지 않습니다. 실내욕탕에서 보이는 가라쓰성의 야경이 멋집니다. 가이세키는 방에 따로 차려주는데 평범한 편입니다. 가라쓰 명물인 한치회는 별도로 주문해야합니다.

큰기대없이 묶으면 만족할 만한 료칸

가라쓰료칸 중 조금 저렴하면서 온천도 경험할수 있는 곳이라 선택했습니다. 온천세는 체크아웃때 따로 지불했는데 이용전 미리 말씀안해주셔서 30분 이용밖에 못했는데 아까웠어요. 저렴했지만요. 만약 다시간다면 온천은 이용안할듯해요. 약간 락스냄새와 나무에 물이끼가 낀듯 미끄러웠어요. 료칸은 생각보다 외관이 너무 멋졌고, 방도 작지만 깨끗하고 좋았습니다. 자전거도 공짜로 빌려주셔서 덕분에 잘 돌아다니고(낡은자전거라 조심^^;), 조식도 괜찮았습니다. 이불은 늦게 깔아주셔서 직접깔아야하나 계속 고민했어요 ㅎㅎ 딱히 크게 칭찬하거나 흠잡을 데가 없는 곳이었습니다.^^
