일단 내부에 목욕탕이 있는게 너무 좋았어요. 하루 여행의 피로를 다 풀수가 있거든요. 체크인 시간이 4시인데 3시쯤에 도착을 해서 짐만 좀 보관하려고 했는데 이미 다 준비하고 체크인 해주셨습니다. 내부는 항상 조용하고 시원하고 쾌적한 상태로 유지가 되어 있어요. 그리고,방 한칸은 잉어 감상 전용 방이더라고요. 물도 너무 맑고 잉어가 너무 이뻤어요. 3박 4일 동안 너무 편하게 지내다 갔어요. 다음에 기회가 되면 또 머물고 싶네요.

A Japanese inn with a long history. The front desk was very welcoming and helpful. They were able to help us check in effectively. It was my first time staying in a Japanese inn, and the tatami was very novel. It was also a different experience. The hotel is very convenient for transportation. You can take bus 201 to Kiyomizu Temple, Shijo, etc., but please note that there are two types of 201, so don't take the wrong one. Refer to Google or Apple Maps.

I liked that the accommodation was clean and the bathroom was cozy. I was going to have a beer alone after the schedule, but it takes a while to walk to the downtown area.
