愉快的體驗

第一次入住和室風旅館, 預訂了共公浴室的房間. 房間被安排在一樓, 旁邊就是廁所, 走廊盡頭也有洗手設備, 所以很方便.榻榻米很舒服, 暖風機也很和暖. Host 很helpful, 會先預備一壺熱水, 喝完問他再拿就可以. 距離弘前城外城河大概5分鐘.

創業明治12年で、建物そのものに歴史も感じますし、城下町弘前の歴史を感じられる旅館です。 弘前の歴史をもっともっと知りたくなりました。 弘前公園からも近く、桜まつりの時期もとても便利で良いと思います。

登録有形文化財に指定されている歴史ある古い建物だけれど、塵一つなく床も柱もピカピカに光っていて清潔な旅館でした。掛け軸・壺・螺鈿の置物・ひな人形・柱時計・屏風・太鼓橋など、博物館の中にいるようでした。客室の湯呑も朝食の器も、一つ一つが品のある良いものでした。焼きたてのお魚が付いた朝ご飯、美味しかったです。ご主人も奥さんもスタッフの方々も、温かい笑顔で迎えてくださって、とても豊かな時間を過ごすことができました。ありがとうございました。

Warm and Welcoming Ryokan

We had a thoroughly relaxing overnight stay at Ishiba Ryokan. The owners’ hospitality exceeded expectation, even driving us to a local restaurant. The on-site onsen was soothing and the traditional beds comfortable. It was a wonderful experience.

旅館位於弘前城附近的小巷子裡，地點方便，又不失安靜。建築本身頗為古老，小庭院很幽靜，雖說房間和浴場相對老舊，但住起來整體還算是舒服的。

有形文化財での滞在

店主・スタッフの気配りが素晴らしく、庭のよく見える部屋で快適な滞在が出来た（外出が少ない事を踏まえて）。 ウェルカムドリンク、観光案内、快適な布団など随所に心配りが感じられ、弘前は再び訪れたい目的地になった。 130年以上の歴史を持ちながら、施設は清潔に保たれており、期待以上だった。
