I cannot rate this place highly enough. The man at the check-in was so accommodating and kind. The AC was a beast, and kept us very comfortable. The fridge and little coffee maker came in very handy. The rooms are just beautiful, and each has access to a lovely Japanese style garden. Yukata are included with the room during your stay, and are so comfortable to laze around in after a shower. It’s very close to the local attractions, like the castle grounds, moat, and museum. Nearby restaurants are tasty and reasonably priced. This is not just a place to dump your bags and leave. It’s a lovely spot to relax and spend some time going over plans for tomorrow, sharing a pot of tea (also included in the room), or soaking in the giant sake barrel, converted to be used as a bathtub! This place used to be the residence of the owner of the sake brewery right across the street (another neat little attraction), so there are two barrels, one large, one HUGE, to soak in. It's a quiet escape from the noise of the big city. I'll definitely come back here!

Qu'est-ce que c'est que cet établissement ? Ni un hôtel, ni un ryokan, ni un gîte, ni une chambre d'hôte ... peut-être vaguement une auberge de jeunesse ou une auberge espagnole ... En tous les cas c'est un tiroir caisse pour un jeune bobo, pas professionnel du tout, qui croit qu'il suffit d'assembler des bouts épars de "machiya" pour faire un jack-pot via internet, booking et auters : c'est 50% trop cher par rapport à d'autres vrais ryokan, professionnels eux . On est étonné d'avoir à payer d'avance, avant même de voir la chambre ... après on comprend pourquoi : literie et bains (dans un tonneau) pas prêts, alcove exigüe de moins de 2 m pour dormir, pas moyen de faire le noir, vis à vis visuel avec les autres chambres, aucune isolation phonique avec les autres clients que l'on entend parler et rigoler jusqu'après minuit comme s'ils étaient là, salle commune, passer par le hall d'entrée commun (ouvert sur le passage public) pour aller au toilettes collectives glaciales, se laver les dents dans un lavabo collectif glacé au bout d'un long couloir au vu et au su des autres clients, ... encore après on découvre que l'on ne peut pas se mettre à l'aise parce que le repas est dans un restaurant (pas très bon) à l'autre bout de la ville, qu'il faut y aller en taxi, que l'on est ramené dans la bétaillère du restaurant conduite par un cuistot de plus de 80 ans qui n'y voit rien la nuit, que lorsqu'on réclame de l'eau pour la nuit on se fait répondre (avec un air de tomber des nues) que l'on a qu'à aller au robinet du lavabo ... et enfin, lorsqu'on a montré son mécontentement, pas un mot d'excuse ni un geste chaleureux si ce n'est commercial ... Pour finir positivement : petit déjeuner genre en boite fait par un restaurant à coté pas mal (sans non plus exagérer) et petits jardins intérieurs (tsubo-niwa) assez mignons .

古い酒蔵を改装した3室のみのゲストハウス。古い梁などを活かしつつ、センス良くまとめられた館内はとても居心地が良かったです。バス・トイレは共同ですが、清潔に保たれており、3つあるバスルームのうち2つには酒樽を利用した浴槽がありました。 ホテルのようなサービスは望めませんが、基本的なアメニティグッズ(シャンプー・リンス、ボディソープ、歯ブラシ、タオル、寝巻き、ドライヤー)は揃っています。また共同キッチンもあり、共同のリビングにあるネスプレッソも無料。 宿泊費はゲストハウスとしては安くはありませんが、大満足の滞在となりました。
