竹林院羣芳園(Chikurinin Gunpoen)

Séjour agréable dans ce ryokan. Le concept change des hôtels aseptisés et l'on peut découvrir un peu des habitudes traditionnelles : dormir sur un futon, des parois hyper minces, un style très sobre et dépouillé. Le ryokan est assez isolé, je n'y ai rencontré que des gens qui parlent japonais . C'est propre et le confort est satisfaisant et c'est une expérience à vivre lors d'un voyage au Japon. Dommage que les clients occidentaux ne se comportent pas de manière tout à fait adaptée aux lieux, notamment pour ce qui concerne le bruit...

Awfully expensive, considering the hotel (downfall), the room and furniture (shabby) and the bathroom (cheaply refurbished and not very clean). The dinner was not a treat (very, very fat pork). The breakfast was good. The service was poor, mostly because non-English-speaking waitresses tried to avoid contact with non-Japanese-speaking clients.

位置很好，周圍都是大自然，房間寬敞，但是房間的清潔有問題。 1 房間中央留下一塊棉絮，裡面纏著頭髮。 2 浴室垃圾桶的蓋子上還黏著一隻乾枯的彩色隱形眼鏡。 3 第一套茶具的茶缸托盤裡積滿了驚人的灰塵。 我希望你要小心。 服務和氣氛都很好。

This was my 6th visit to the Ryokan. And somehow my older review does not appear anymore. Time for an update. When I accompany family members and friends for their first visit to Japan I always choose this place. Admittedly back in 2008 the service was a bit more refined, there was more staff, it have been hard times for the hospitality world, and the great pine tree at the small onsen also died. But the total experience is still wonderful. I ask for the retoro rooms : in the old building. May be a bit noisy if you have bad luck as the walls are paper thin. No private bathroom as was standard in the old days. But beautiful painted sliding doors, view of the garden and the (endless) mountains behind. During peak cherry tree blossom season this year (2023) there was additional staff that was fluent in English. They made every effort to adjust for one the party members who had trouble with food he was not used to. And then there is the village … Take your time. If your budget allows is stay for at least two nights, better even three. Make sure you explore thoroughly : even the valley next to the main temple : go down all the stairs, enjoy th

我想住的旅館有空位，所以我很高興能夠預訂並參觀了。不錯的老建築，歷史悠久，所以我覺得老了也無可奈何，但是複古的房間使用起來有點困難，因為廁所和洗臉盆都要出到走廊裡，感覺很危險穿著拖鞋上下陡峭的樓梯，公共浴室是一段很長的樓梯，而且浴缸裡沒有多少扶手，所以說實話，我不能帶上年邁的父母。我在大廳的一張有名字的桌子旁坐下，服務員忙著招呼我，接了我的酒單，沒有水也沒有茶水，我攔住了對方，點了一杯酒，他們卻送來了它先到其他桌子，翻了一番，出錯了，椅子沒有準備好。聲明。看他們的忙碌和人手不足就知道，所以每桌的顧客都沒有提高聲音，雖然有些惱火，但他們靜靜地等了大約20分鐘。沒有肉不能開鍋，不能用煤氣罐吃任何東西，沒有歡迎的問候或對食物的解釋。我能聽到這里和那裡的竊竊私語說沒有人，最後那天我聽到諸如“我們沒有足夠的人......”之類的藉口。這頓飯的調料是最美味的，所以毀了這道特色菜的客戶服務是一個令人失望的詞。吃過大名鼎鼎的離休火鍋，但吃完火鍋後，大碗裡只有白米飯和泡菜，感覺如果有稀釋鍋裡的高湯之類的選擇就好了把它做成高湯茶泡，或者把生*溶解在米粥裡。有各種各樣的事情，比如幾個工作人員回答的公交車站的位置不同，但就個人而言，我感到孤獨，我至少想要一點問候退房時輕輕告別。

I booked 3 rooms this time. One of the rooms was dirty, toilet smells very bad, and a tea cup still contain residual tea, probably from previous guests. Other than that, the location was great to explore around Yoshinoyama.

Beautiful tempel garden, there's an outside onsen with view on the mountains, the staff is very friendly
