愉快的體驗

第一次入住和室風旅館, 預訂了共公浴室的房間. 房間被安排在一樓, 旁邊就是廁所, 走廊盡頭也有洗手設備, 所以很方便.榻榻米很舒服, 暖風機也很和暖. Host 很helpful, 會先預備一壺熱水, 喝完問他再拿就可以. 距離弘前城外城河大概5分鐘.

Warm and Welcoming Ryokan

We had a thoroughly relaxing overnight stay at Ishiba Ryokan. The owners’ hospitality exceeded expectation, even driving us to a local restaurant. The on-site onsen was soothing and the traditional beds comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.
