직원분들 너무 황송할정도로 친절하셨구요. 신혼여행이라 일부러 개인 야외 욕조 있는 방으로 예약했는데 너무 좋았어요. 동백방 최고! 하루만 묵은게 너무 아쉬웠습니다. 숙소 내 온천 시간도 널널하고 이용객이 없을땐 전세낸것처럼 편하게 즐겼어요. 도고온센 별관도 내부 탕 하나 노천 하나인데 료칸도 내부탕 하나 노천 하나여서 여기서만 온천 즐겨도 되겠다는 생각까지 들었어요. 씻고나와서 앞에 놓인 무료 아이스크림과 맥주로 신나게 즐겼습니다. 너무 짧은 시간 묵어서 본관까지 못 즐긴게 아쉬워요ㅠ 다음 기념일에 또 오고 싶어요

고즈넉한 휴식의 공간

덕분에 고요하고 아늑한 휴식의 시간을 보내고 돌아왔습니다. 화려하지 않지만 충분한 중정(inside courtyard) 도 마음에 들었습니다. 청결하고 아늑한 객실, 대욕장과 실외 노천탕도 좋았습니다. 아침식사도 맘에 들었습니다. 엘리베이터가 있어서 짐을 옮기기에 좋았습니다. 일찍 도착해서 짐을 맡기겠다고 요청했는데 흔쾌히 받아주셨고, 체크아웃후에도 짐을 맡아 주셨습니다. 조용히 이루어지는 모든 과정이 만족스러웠습니다. 곳곳에 늘 보살피는 부지런한 손길이 느껴졌습니다.
