Delicious Japanese Cuisine

The kaiseki dinner was one of the highlights of my stay. Every dish was meticulously prepared, and the wagyu beef was excellent. I looked forward to both dinner and breakfast each day, as they never disappointed in flavor and presentation.

Stunning Onsen Experience

The outdoor onsen was simply amazing, with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. I enjoyed soaking in the hot springs, which were well-kept and offered a serene atmosphere. It's the perfect place to unwind after a long day.

My stay at the ryokan was truly special, with a beautiful suite that had a stunning open-air bath and delectable meals that made each dining experience memorable. The view of Mt. Yufu from the public bath added a picturesque touch. However, the lack of curtains on some windows and the absence of a shower in my room were slight downfalls. Overall, I found it to be a relaxing getaway, and I can't wait to return.

My stay at this modern ryokan was quite an experience! The room with a private bath was simply amazing, and the food served at the restaurant was delicious, with the option of reserving a private dining cell. However, I did face a bit of a language barrier, as only the front desk staff spoke English, which made communication challenging at times. Also, while they don’t provide a pickup service from the station, finding a taxi was easy and conducive to convenience.

Our stay at this ryokan was truly delightful, with beautiful outdoor onsens and a fantastic kaiseiki dinner. The room we had was incredibly spacious and featured both an indoor and outdoor bath, which was a highlight. However, it’s worth noting that not all rooms come with a shower or bathtub, which might be inconvenient for some. The staff really made the experience special, and the overall ambiance was peaceful and relaxing.
