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.

很優雅的房子 有溫暖古老的氣質 服務人員很親切 也很願意服務 門口的奶奶很優雅 精確的服務每個客人 也讓每個環節以及環境能魅力的呈現 唯一美中不足是抽煙房居然沒有隔間直接在休息室旁 有人抽煙對我們沒抽煙或有小孩的家庭真的很困擾

The hosts are friendly even though they speak little English. Parking is sufficient. Room is clean and tidy. Food is delicious, especially dinner. Supermarket is right opposite the onsen, convenient to shop. The only thing concerns me is lacking of charging ports.

全体的に建物設備が老朽化でした。元は老舗の歴史ある建物だと思い期待してたのですが、古さがちょっと良くない方に出てますね。ちゃんと手入れや補修をすれば素晴らしい旅館になると思います。こういう旅館を盛り上げられないのが残念です

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.
