Waranino is heaven on earth. Unlike traditional ryokan, this is utterly modern and beautifully set in a wooded glen. The staff are so welcoming and helpful. Someone is always there the moment you need anything. The breakfasts and dinners magnificent! Not only delicious but also plated with the eye in mind on pottery unique to the area. All in all a terrific get away spot

Stayed here for two nights, Nov 10 & 11. The property was so nice. The room was really big, clean, and comfortable. Very private. The service was excellent! The staff were all so nice. We are from Hawai’i and have been to many different onsens in Yufuin, Kinosaki, Gero, Arima, Kusatsu, Ikaho, Hakone, Nikko, and Beppu, but Sanso Warabino is the best! Service is second to none! Will return again and will recommend to our family and friends. Loved it!

새롭게 리모델링이 되어서 일본 전통 가옥의 료칸는 다른 색다른 경험이었다. 실내외 인테리어와 소품들이 매우 좋았으며, 료칸 내부를 산책할때 아주 조용 하고 평온했다. 식사는 요란하지 않으며 아주 정결하게 맛있고 만족 스러웠다. 온천 대욕장이 없었으나 객실내 실내외 온천에서도 충분히 노천같은 개방감을 느낄수 있으며 충분히 만족하며 이용할만 하다. 예약이 다소 힘들고 숙박비가 다소 높은편이나 한번쯤은 꼭 들릴만한 숙소라고 생걱된다

세가족 모두 보이는, 보이지 않는 구석구석의 세련됨과 친절함, 배려에 매우 감동하고 갑니다. 서비스도, 룸컨디션도, 식사도 정말 좋았어요. 화려하기만하고 막상 먹어보면 만족스럽지않은 가이세키도 많은데, 좋은 재료로 최고의 맛을 끌어내어 정제된 프레젠테이션으로 대접받는 기분이 매우 훌륭했습니다. 이번 겨울에 또 들를 예정입니다.

가격이 비싸서 좀 걱정은 했으나 가격 대비 시설과 써비스 부분 너무나 만족 했습니다. 온천은 개별 온천으로 되어 있어서 언제가 사용가능하고 너무 편안하게 보냈습니다. 자연도 좋았고 호텔분들도 매우 친절하셨습니다. 눈이 많이와서 기차역 나가기 힘들었으나 호텔 분들이 데려다 주시고 픽업 해 주셔서 전혀 불편하지 않았습니다. 다음에도 다시 가고 싶습니다.
