조용히 쉬고 싶을때 추천.

대중 교통 불편. 반듯이 픽업서비스 이용. 조용하고 한적한 곳. 가이세키 식사는 평범함.

우선 주인분께서 너무너무 친절하셔서 기분좋게 머물렀어요. 숙소도 생각했던 그대로 너무 좋았고 석식도 정말 맛있었습니다. 물론 온천도 좋았구요 기회가 된다면 다시 꼭 오고싶다고 생각했습니다!

유후잉에서 jr기차타고 2번째 정류장에서하차하면 역앞에 픽업나온차로 다시10분정도 들어간 산골. 마치 강원도 정선 계곡에 들어온느낌으로 전통적인 일본료칸. 롯칸바로앞에 계곡물이흐르고 그옆에 자그마한 노천탕이았는데 정말좋았어요. 조용한곳에서 편안히쉬다 가시길 원한다면 정말좋은장소.

덕분에 즐거운 여행되었습니다

유후인쪽은 가격이 비싸거나 가격이 맞으면 가이세키가 없었서 검색중 유노히라쪽 료칸으로 오게되었네요 jr타고 넘어와야됩니다. 버스는 없었습니다. 오히려 조용하고 소박하고 정겹습니다. 식사도 맛있게 했고 석식은 방에서 조식은 밑에 내려와서 먹었는데 정원을 보면서 먹을수있어 너무 좋습니다. 밤에도 마을쪽 좀 걸어다녀보았는데 밤에는 등불이 있어 운치있고 좋습니다. 안주거리는 유후인 슈퍼에서 조금 사왔고 생맥주(600엔), 사케 등등은 료칸에서 판매하고 있습니다. 자판기도 있어서 캔맥주도 사먹을수있습니다. 냉장고는 공용으로 사용할수있도록 되어있습니다. 온천은 2명이서 한시간씩 이용했습니다. 둘이들어갈지 혼자 들어갈지 물어보고 한사람당 30분씩 이용가능한듯합니다. 체크인시 언제 밥을 먹을지 료칸을 저녁 아침 언제 몇시에 이용할지 작성하니 그때 일정을 정하시면됩니다. 다음에 기회가 된다면 또 가고싶네요.

완전좋았어요!! 석식 조식도 훌륭하고 스탭분들도 굉장히 친절해서 묵는 내내 기분좋았습니다. 다음에도 료칸을 이용하게된다면 아마 꼭 여기로 가게 될 것 같아요. 온천도 시간 정해서 혼자 이용할수있어서 좋았습니다.

소박한 료칸

유노히라 자체가 소박하기에 가성비대비. 유후인에 비함 저렴하구 서비스도 그가격대 너무괜찬았어요. 주인부부신거같은데 너무너무 친절하셨습니다. 음식도 느끼하지 않았구요. 욕탕도 눈이와서인지 더좋아보였어요^^
