After all, the bath in the room was the best!The black pork shabu-shabu served in a private room while looking at the waterwheel was delicious.If Mr. Nakai's response was a little better, I would give it a full score.But in the end, I was given a polite send-off. I'll visit you again.

My partner took me there as a reward for working hard to take care of my cat on Cat Day 🎵The homely atmosphere made me feel very relaxed.The room, the bath, the view, the amenities, etc., were all in a really soothing space without being overdone. It's a hot spring with lots of hot spring flowers, and there's even a sleeping bath, so you'll want to stay in it for a long time. I was able to take a bath in the main building, and even though it was raining, the view from the small window outside was indescribably magical.The food and drinks are delicious🎵As I looked at the menu, I was excited to see what was next. It was so cozy that I was glad I checked out late. We both had a great time and wanted to come again (lol)

The hot springs were especially nice. I was so satisfied that I couldn't finish my dinner. If I have another chance, I would like to go to a different building. It was an extraordinary experience.

As soon as you enter the front door, you'll be in a normal house with no lobby. The hallway was so narrow that only one person could pass through it, and when I sat down on the toilet seat, I felt heavy with the spectacular view of the men's urinal right in front of me. When entering the dining room, the height of the fusuma is low and you enter at your waist. The carefully selected ingredients for creative kaiseki cuisine are as follows. I was surprised to find that the vegetables, fish, and meat didn't taste like the actual ingredients.The waiter was cheerful and unrefined, making it a popular pub. Do you know the direction of the plate? Is the bed in the guest room a tatami queen instead of a spring mattress? There is a tasteless roasted sweet potato in the too cold room. This room is completely unnecessary. The dressing room and bathroom are as small as a single room. A meaningless bathtub and a cold bedrock bath.I was told that I would also be able to use the open-air bath in the main building, so I went there with a flashlight, but there were no street lights along the way, so it was pitch black, so it was very dark and scary. It was so eerie how quiet I didn't see anyone from the time I arrived at the main building until I left. The changing area in the public bath is also quite small and can only accommodate two people. The open-air bath is knee-deep and as narrow as a passageway. When I opened the small sliding door to look at the night view, there was no light and it was pitch black. I think it was around 8:30pm, but I couldn't see anything. In mid-November, the open-air bath is lukewarm and the indoor bath is hot. Even though I usually take a long bath, I left immediately. Once again, I walk home alone on the dark road at night. Arrived at the annex and went to the open-air bath. The partitions are half-finished, so anyone can come in from the outside, and I feel like I'm being watched, which makes me uncomfortable. The hot water is certainly good, but it takes a long time to run the water and pour it in because it is so hot. I take a bath while waiting, but it's embarrassing because it's open. The only thing that was good about TOTAL was the hot water after running water and the large windmill that could be seen from the dining room. I am writing this in hopes of improving things so that future travelers who come with high expectations will not be disappointed.

This is our second night stay on our Kagoshima trip. The first night was at a nearby inn with an open-air bath. The price was about the same as this hotel. Compared to the inn where I stayed the first night, the food and customer service were quite inferior. I was especially disappointed with the food. What surprised me the most was the mixed rice for dinner, but I could only eat one bite of the rice as it looked like it was just mixed with furikake. This was really surprising lolThe sashimi platter was cheap, izakaya-quality fish. It's not a cheap inn, so I think they could raise the quality of all the ingredients a little more.Mr. Nakai also thought it would be better to be a little more careful when serving food.I was looking forward to the second night, but I was a little disappointed.
