만족스러운 숙소

주변거리도 조용하고, 그렇다고 해서 쇼핑거리나 식당가가 먼 것도 아니라 편리했습니다. 공용목욕탕에서 보이는 밤풍경과 바람 그 느낌은 잊을 수 없을 것 같습니다. 무엇보다 아침 일찍부터 짐을 맡기러 갔는데도 흔쾌히 징보관을 해주셨으며 나중에 체크인할 때 짐을 다 이미 방에 가져다 두셨다는 이야기를 듣고 서비스가 정말 좋구나를 느꼈습니다. 가족단위나 친구로 보이는 한중일 손님이 있었으며, 영어소통에도 무리가 없어 좋았습니다.

Traditional Ryokan

There were many ladies we met during our stay and each was helpful and accommodating. It was a very rainy day so they let us borrow umbrellas and one of them went outside and hailed a cab for us. The sleeping arrangements are mats on the ground but it was one of my best nights of sleep of our 2 week honeymoon. Breakfast was okay. No westen options. Not my favorite and not the worst. I’d say very average but the hospitality was excellent, the area was so cute with lots of little shops and restaurants. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.

기분 좋은 숙소

본관이 오래된 편이라 객실 컨디션이 아주 좋지는 않았지만 숙박하는데는 무리가 없었고 접객이 아주 친절함. 아침식사도 무난하고 비오는 데 탕에서 창문 열면 창 멀리까지 보여서 노천탕 느낌을 낼 수 있어 좋았음.

위치가 좋은 세미료칸

료칸에 묵고 싶은데 전통 료칸까지는 부담스러울때 타주루를 추천합니다. 우선 위치가 너무 좋구요 밤늦게 가와라마치에서 놀다가 슬슬 걸어가기 딱 좋은 위치에 타카세가와를 끼고 있어서 운치있고 지금은 벚꽃도 너무 이쁩니다. 다만 방이 굉장히 작아요. 저흰 여자 세명이 묵었는데 이불 세채 깔면 남는 자리가 없는 정도예요. 여자들끼리는 괜찮지만 몸집이 크신 남자분은 좁다고 느낄 수 있어요. 조식은 1층에 따로 식당이 있는데 카모가와를 바라보며 먹을 수 있어 굉장히 만족스럽습니다. 개인적으로 가성비 좋은 숙소였어요.

처음 받은 방 화장실에서 퀘퀘한 냄새가 나고 난방도 제대로 안돼서 컴플레인했더니 친절하게 업그레이드된 방으로 바꿔주셨으나 그 방도 난방은 제대로 안됐어요. 조식도 별로 맛이 없었고 렌트카 이용해서 료칸 옆 주차장에 주차했는데 주차요금도 너무 비쌌어요.

隣の結婚式場で結婚式があり利用した。結婚式には大変便利。4階の眺めの良い部屋で、遠く正面には清水寺が見えた。全体的に良い旅館だったが、展望風呂となっていたが展望は良くないのと、シャワーの湯温がぬるいのが残念だった。檜風呂の方が眺めが良かった。朝食は大変美味しかった。

이곳은 일본을 느낄 수 있는 곳이었어요.. 시설도 좋았을 뿐만 아니라, 친절함 자체가 다시 가고 싶은 곳이라는 느낌이 들었습니다. 제가 추천을 한다면 강추힙니다.

작은 개울이 근처에 있어서 좋았어요

직원들은 매우 친절했고 근처에 작은 개울에 있는데 그게 너무 예뻤습니다 공동욕탕에서는 카모강을 바라보며 따끈하게 목욕을 할 수 있었습니다. 조식 먹을때의 카모강 풍경도 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 다만 다음에 다시 방문하게 된다면 교토역에서 걸어가는 것 대신 버스를 타는 것을 선택해야할 것 같습니다 ㅠㅠ 너무 많이 걸었어요

Esperienza indimenticabile

Il giusto coronamento ad un viaggio in Giappone è una notte in un Ryokan e questo è sicuramente da non perdere. Stanza ampia e pulita, personale sempre sorridente, cena sul terrazzo lungo il fiume con mille portate tutte da fotografare ed assaporare e colazione in pieno stile giapponese. Indimenticabile.

Traditional Japanese Experience with Lovely Staff

I stayed at Tazuru with my brother and a friend for one night in April 2017, and we had a lovely time. The three of us shared one room. This was my first experience in a traditional Japanese Ryokan, and it did not disappoint. We brought our suitcases to the ryokan a few hours early before our 3pm check-in, and they happily let us leave them in the lobby. When we returned after dinner that evening, they had already moved our bags into our room and placed our sleeping futons out, and had hot water for tea ready. There were Japanese pajamas, slippers, shampoo, soap, and everything you could need. In the morning, we had an unbelievable breakfast - it's absolutely worth including in your room. The best breakfast I had all trip. When we got back to our rooms after breakfast, the futons were put away and we had a table in the middle. The only downside to the hotel is that it's a bit older of a structure, not renovated recently. So if you're looking for a brand new building, this isn't your place. But the wonderful hospitality makes you forget that.
