친구들 모임으로 2박 다녀왔어요. 조용한 객실과 히루 2식이 참 훌륭했어요. 한국말 가능하신 서버가 2박 동안 밀착케어 해주시는데 너무 친절해서 감사했어요. 다만 대욕장이 2군데 있었으나 규모가 작고 시설이 좀 노후화되어 있어서 그 점이 조금 아쉽네요

トイレの角に使っていない(使用済み?)の芳香剤と花瓶のような物が床の隅にが置いたままになっていて誰かの家のような感じがして残念でした。客室露天風呂が正面の民家2階の部屋から丸見えなのでもう少し見えないように工夫して欲しかったです。内湯、客室露天風呂共、お湯に入った時の細部が綺麗になっておらずロケーションが気になりました。

優秀絕佳住宿體驗

女將服務非常周到,有三個不同的溫泉池可以泡。雖然價格不低,但絕對物有所值,與台灣的礁溪老爺相比,山燈館給我的整體體驗絕對超越礁溪老爺,下次來湯布院一定再選這一家。

食べ歩きスポットから近いので車で行く場合は運転に十分注意するのと、17時以降は宿の売店以外ほぼ閉まるので早めに買い物を済ませることを気をつけておけば最高の滞在になると思います。 季節にもよりますが、蚊が寄って来やすいので刺された場合に備えて薬があると安心です(虫除けのノーマットは常備されていました)

近金鱗湖的旅館,頂級服務,賓至如歸。

從車站拉大行李一路不分心走到旅館的話大約20分鐘,可以事先和旅館預約接送。旅館優雅別緻且古色古香,房間、料理跟泡湯體驗都讓人驚艷,還有專門的可愛女將服務。離金鱗湖、街道和有名的由布まぶし心餐廳都非常近,下次來由布院仍會優先考慮這裡。
