It was a relaxing inn where you could relax and feel like you were at your grandma's house. I was thinking of repeating it again.Hot springs: The best thing is that they are all flowing directly...The hot water is so soft that it makes your skin smooth. However, be careful as the private bath and open-air bath with a view bath are too hot (lol).Customer service: They will leave you alone, so it's great for people who want to feel at ease.Meal: There are separate sections for each meal, and I was very satisfied with both the food and the taste.Rooms & Facilities, Amenities: Whether you think it's old or rustic may vary depending on the person. Although it is old, I was very impressed with how well it was cleaned. However, there are a lot of stairs, so it might be difficult for people with walking disabilities or the elderly. (Especially the stairs to the observation bath are hell) As for the amenities, I have a good impression that they are conscious of the environment by keeping the minimum necessary, but the hair dryer is very old, so I think women should bring their own. Also, makeup remover is only for light makeup, so if you are concerned, we recommend bringing your own.View: At certain times of the year, we could see some fireflies from the inn. You can borrow a flashlight for free, so if you walk for about 10 minutes to Hotaru Bridge, you will see a fantastic view. The mountain breeze felt great too.

A very elegant inn located in Yunotsuru Onsen in Minamata City. Located along the Toishi River mountain stream, everything about the location, exterior, and interior of the building is quaint.I don't know if it was built from the beginning, added to it, or was renovated, but it's an old-fashioned hot spring inn with an intricate structure that makes it interesting. There is also a rooftop open-air bath, a rock bath, and a private hot spring bath, and although the area other than the rooftop is small, you can enjoy each one. You can also take a day trip bath. The food is also luxurious. I don't think there are many places in this price range where you can feel so relaxed.

A quiet and comfortable place next to a clear stream while listening to the sound of the river flowing.This is a hot spring inn where the rooms have been renovated and the food is satisfying.

The atmosphere of the hot spring town is a bit deserted, but the quality of the hot springs and the service provided by the individual hot spring inns are good. ️

Konoyado is located in Yunotsuru Onsen in Minamata City.Making the roomcookingCustomer servicehot springFeeEverything is great.The dishes include abalone, spiny lobster, horse sashimi, and other dishes.There were so many baths to choose from, including an observation bath, a rock bath, a family bath, and a room bath.Moreover, the water was slippery and full of hot water.The observation bath is a pleasure to reach by walking nearly 100 meters through the hotel's wandering interior.The room has a modern Japanese style.It's really the best.The day after our stay, we climbed Mt. Yahazudake.

Both the food and the bath were good. The food was delicious and plentiful. The bath was moist and the next morning was smooth. In terms of water quality, I felt it was the same as Hinagu Onsen, but I don't think I can make a general statement because everyone has their own preferences. By the way, the shower in the open-air bath seems to be cold until the hot water from the pipes drains out. I left it out for a while and it got warm, so I'll leave it here as information. Pola products were used for shampoo etc.The building is said to be over 60 years old, but I can see that it has been carefully cleaned. It seems that renovations have been made as needed, so I had a comfortable stay.We were treated with great care from arrival to departure. If you go to the location using a navigation system at night, the road will be narrow, so please drive slowly and be careful.

Although it is an old-fashioned hot spring inn, it has a nice atmosphere.Minamata is generally a hot spring, so I think it's a good hot spring if you can clear that point.The couple will be serving hearty meals.The maze-like structure is also interesting.I would like to visit again.
