살면서 이렇게 특이하고 고급지며 잘 대우받는 료칸은 처음입니다. 연못위에 오래된 고택이 떠잇는 듯한 인테리어는 역사 깊어보이면서도 내부는 신식으로 깔끔하며 음식도 이 지역을 여행하면서 최고 수준이라고 생각합니다. 사진 찍는 곳마다 다 예술적으로 남았네요. 좋은 경험이였습니다.

The place was really great even for the children, 4 and 6 years old. The people helped to organise our days activities with suggestions and helped with booking drives and so on. The children loved their stay there, the hot bath and the playroom, the garden and the snow.
