Jomon No Yado Manten

第一次自己一個人出國，到屋久島參加自然體驗活動與外加自助旅行行程。 這趟行程來這家旅館住宿了兩次：第一次是在平臺上預訂了住宿；第二次則是因為與另一家預訂的旅社出現了突發狀況，臨時又來此住宿。 對於一個語言不通又第一次自己出國的外國旅人而言，在這裡感受到服務人員的友善親切。特別是櫃臺與餐廳的服務人員，都非常有耐心的等待我使用翻譯軟體來溝通，讓我感受到許多的溫暖。 旅館離機場很近，走路不到5分鐘就能抵達。館內的環境非常舒適，設備完善，大廳、房間、湯池、餐廳都很乾淨整潔，氛圍也很讓人感到很放鬆。 餐點需要另外加購預訂，用餐時會根據旅人人數給予適合的包廂。晚餐是有10道餐點的懷石料理，早餐是6道小菜加自助餐點(午餐我沒有訂過所以不清楚)。餐點除了有一些對我的口味來說有點偏鹹之外，大部分都非常好吃。尤其會使用一些在地的食材與調味料，會讓人更感受到與這個地方的連結感。 費用上，價格對於習慣住背包客棧的人來說，是偏高的。同時，住進來之後，覺得整體的環境與服務是非常值得這個價格。 對於想安靜放鬆慢旅行的旅人來說，如果經濟上寬裕許可，我非常非常推薦這家旅館！

nice hotel with hot spring good location and service.zzzzzz

An authentic onsen, at least it felt authentic to me, being no expert of Japanese culture. Traditional rooms, make sure to book one with the bath in the room. It’s not a fancy place, but really enjoyable. It reminded me of school trips, but in a weirdly positive way. The proximity to the airport was not an issue, didn’t hear the planes and there was no irritating traffic. The food was good and supposedly he’s as well. The massage provided on site was excellent as well, especially the gentleman masseuse was very skilled. The onsen is supposed to make you younger three years at every dip. Now I am not sure that actually perspired, but I did feel well rested, much better than when I arrived. I had an excellent experience and really cannot think of any negatives.

Die Unterkunft entspricht einem japanischen Guesthouse und verfügt nur über ein Gemeinschaftsbad. (auf der Expediaseite stand, dass unser Zimmer über eine eigene Dusche verfügt). Die Luft war im Komplex sehr stickig und es roch schimmelig. Wir hatten im Zimmer auch viele dunkle Flecken an den Wänden. Dazu ist es extrem hellhörig. Über uns haben wahrscheinlich Elefanten gewohnt. Ansonsten ist die Anlage gut erreichbar und schön angelegt. Wer abends allerdings außerhalb des Hotels essen möchte, braucht eigentlich ein Auto. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Insgesamt stimmte für uns das Preisleistungsverhältnis aber nicht.

We spent 2 nights here at the beginning of March and absolutely loved it. We had two Japanese style rooms (one per person), with Tatami mats on the floor and Futons as a bed. We had a toilet, but a bit strangely no shower, which was not a problem, because in the indoor and outdoor baths, there are good shower facilities. The rooms are a bit small, but totally okay for one person (for two persons it would be a bit crowded). The indoor and outdoor baths are lovely and as usual, separated by gender. We had halfboard included, which was amazing. Dinner is a several courses Kaiseki dinner, and really tasty and diverse. If you dont eat meat, seafood and fish, you will not be happy however. Breakfast is a japanese bento box, and a small buffet. For lunch, you can order a bento box, which we did, and which was very tasty and the best bento box I had so far in 3 trips to Japan. Staff is very friendly, and even if they dont speak much englisch, they really go out of their way to help. The Ryokan is just opposite the small airport, where there is also a bus stop. In easy walking distance there are two supermarkets, and a very good italian restaurants (Il Mare), which make excellent pizza and pasta, using local ingredients like shitake mushrooms and boar meat. The buses run very unfrequently, so you are better off with a rental car. Its excellent value for money, especially if you love japanese food.

Onsen facility is good. Ingredients and contents for Dinner and Breakfast are considered overprice. There is no lift access which is Inconvenient. Staff did not offer to send the luggage to the room.
