5/5
It was a good choice to stay at this hotel during my free trip to Southern Kyushu, Japan.The path leading in from the road outside is a bit smaller. I originally thought it might be very narrow when going up to the hotel, but there is quite a lot of parking space inside and parking is provided free of charge.His lobby feels a bit old! The staff at the counter were very kind and polite. Even though they didn't understand the language, they tried their best to explain the various facilities and times carefully so that we could fully understand them.The room is also quite spacious and all are Japanese-style tatami mats. I heard that the hotel staff would come to the room to help us make the bed while we were having dinner, but this hotel did not provide this service.I booked a room and board for two, and both dinner and breakfast were very exquisite and exquisite gourmet feasts. The portions were reasonable and they were considered delicious dishes.The hotel also provides three private hot spring pools. You can reserve a time in advance. We booked a semi-outdoor bath, which happened to be quite suitable when the weather was bad. The bath is large and very comfortable to soak in.The next morning, I happened to see a large sea of clouds. The scenery was amazing and beautiful.There are also many walking trails around the hotel. Unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to go on a rainy day, but it was worth seeing the beautiful sea of clouds.The whole hotel is quaint and unique, and there is a small terrace on the top floor where you can go up to watch the stars and enjoy the scenery. Don’t think we almost missed it because we didn’t notice it.Because my travel schedule is relatively tight, otherwise this hotel is suitable for staying two nights in a row to slowly experience it.

I used it at a day trip hot spring.I was able to have a hot spring to myself surrounded by a forest, surrounded by flowers like camellias, and it was so nice that I thought it was heaven.As I was walking through the forest, I saw a large waterfall and felt the power of nature.thank you.

The online introduction introduces my first stay. The newly renovated environment is quiet and tranquil, the private hot spring feels first-class, and the clerk is considerate and courteous. There are too many benefits to list here. Thank you for your service. I will definitely come again.

This time, I visited a day trip hot spring. It's a place I've always wanted to stay at. The quality of the hot springs was good and Unohana was floating in the water to warm us up.Next time, I would like to stay overnight and take an open-air bath on the mountain.

Anyway, it's nice to be in a quiet place!Enjoy a private bath in the quietness. This time it's a cypress bath!I was a little disappointed that there were no vacancies in the popular Akamatsu room...However, the hot spring smelled of sulfur, but had a nice hot spring feel.My skin is now smooth♪

[202409] I had always wanted to come to the traveler's mountain lodge, which is surrounded by the rich nature of Mt. Kirishima and where you can fully enjoy the mountain scenery and the charm of Kirishima Onsen Village, so I took a vacation and visited there.Founded in the Meiji era, this inn boasts a long history and is a mix of modern concrete hotels and old wooden buildings from the past. It seems that many literary figures and celebrities have stayed there, and the facility has exhibits, paintings, and many books related to its history, making it a relaxing place to spend time.The hot springs are fed directly from the source, so the quality of the hot springs is sulfur.It is gentle on the skin and can be expected to have beautifying and relaxing effects. In addition to the large public bath, there is a private open-air bath that guests can reserve for 45 minutes. There is only one open-air bath that can be reserved for private use, so when making a reservation, you must let us know your desired time, but the popular Akamatsu no Yu was not available for the time you requested, so the reservation was made for 6:15 p.m., and you had to enter in the dim light. is completed. (The open air in the dim light was also very nice)It seems that the reservations are based on the reservation order for the day, and since we had made reservations a week in advance, we couldn't get a good time to use Akamatsu no Yu.Well, I think it's good just to include it (^^♪Dinner is Japanese Kaiseki cuisine using Kagoshima specialties and seasonal ingredients, and breakfast is Kaiseki + a simple buffet.Although it depends on the price of the course, it is a very cost-effective hot spring inn at around 15,000 yen per person, which includes hot springs, private baths, and evening and morning meals.Check-out is until 11 o'clock, so I was able to relax quite a bit, and on the way home I received hot spring eggs, treasure water, and a towel with the logo as souvenirs (^_-)-☆
