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
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.

들어서는 순간 너무 아름다웠고 시설들도 잘 관리되고 있고 친절한 서비스 덕에 편안하게 하루를 묶었습니다
오래된 것이 더 아름답다는 걸 느낄 수 있었습니다
지내는 동안 너무 행복했습니다

추천이에요!
너무 청결하고 쾌적한 공간이였습니다. 아름다운 정원이 인상적이였구요! 그리고 아침 조식도 너무 만족스러웠습니다. 다음에 다시 방문하고 싶은 숙소 였습니다.!

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.
