Sawara I 1708-2, Katori, JP
古民家（蔵）のリノベーションでの宿泊は初めてであったので、味わい深い感じが受けた。
5.0スタッフの対応が良かったです。
− 部屋の掃除がイマイチであった（ベットの頭よりの棚部にホコリが溜まったいた）
We loved this place. Our room was a short (5 min) room from the reception and dining room
9.0We had a room beside the canal, which is really nice. Room was as expected. Having two levels was interesting, although the stairs were very steep and may pose issues for those with mobility problems.
− It would be nice if the room had a bit more natural light.
Interesting but inconvenience
3.0The staff were very helpful and always tried their best to serve. Breakfast was delicious. Overall, it’s a charming ryokan with comfortable beds and pillows. I especially loved the soft yukata.
− Like the previous reviewer mentioned, I wish the hotel provided a luggage cart or staff assistance for bags. The room was in a separate building several blocks away from check-in, requiring guests to walk along roads without sidewalks. This also made it inconvenient to reach staff when needed. Security was another concern, the main entry doors could not be locked, and shoes had to be left in a shared cabinet with other tenants. The steep stairs were difficult with no help for luggage. Additionally, dinner service was very slow (over 1.5 hours) and the food was mostly cold.
Such a cool experience in a renovated ryokan. It was a relaxing way to end our trip!
10.0The breakfast was amazing and one of the best meals we had on this trip! Our room was beautiful and really enhanced the experience of the old town. They provided us with many free amenities and comfortable beds.
− The wifi was a bit spotty during the evening.
Toll renovierte Merchant Häuser aus der Edo Zeit
9.0Alte Merchant Häuser, die toll renoviert wurden und zu netten Apartments umgestaltet wurden. Unser Apartment hieß Yata und war sehr großzügig geschnitten. Die einzelnen Apartments sind in Sawara verstreut. Viele liegen am Fluss. Zum Frühstück muss man ins Haupthaus gehen. Das japanische Frühstück war sehr gut. Da am Abend in Sawara alle Restaurants um 18 Uhr schließen, sollte man sich überlegen, ob man das Abendessen Angebot im Nipponia Restaurant im Haupthaus annimmt.
− Schade, dass wir nur eine Nacht in dem tollen Apartment verbracht haben.
せっかくいい雰囲気宿ですが部屋の内容が分かっていれば？残念です！
4.0スタッフの対応、食事等は大変良かった。ロケーションも問題なし
− 部屋に関して予約時にもっと説明等のinformationが欲しかった。二階の寝室への階段は高齢者にとっては脅威？ 外が全然見えない間取り知っていたら絶対に予約しないと思います。 情報不足の一言＞
