Although the inn is located at the foot of Mt. Kokonoe, the open feeling and comfort of taking a bath while looking out at the Kokonoe Mountain Range is the best. The amount of hot spring water gushing out is huge, and there are several outdoor baths, so it's even better than the photos on the website. I've been to many hot springs, but I've probably never been to an open-air bath that moved me this much.And the rooms too. I was impressed to see the mountains looming in front of the large windows. We rented 3 different types of rooms, all of which were very clean and lovely, giving the impression that the rooms were designed with the guests in mind.As for the food, I'm sorry to write about it here, but when we stayed there, we didn't get any spectacular dishes. The dining area is also a large training hall-like area with tables and chairs lined up. However, the thoughtfulness of the staff, the quality of the local ingredients, and the heartfelt preparation of the dishes make everything delicious and make you feel grateful.Having tea (coffee) on the terrace while looking at the mountains in the morning sun was extraordinary and wonderful.This time, my family and I stayed in Nagasaki, Oita, and Fukuoka for 3 nights and 4 days. There were some luxury hotels that I could only stay at once in my life, but the best choice for all seven adults in my family was the Kokonoe Seisei Hotel.I want to go again. If you haven't been there yet, we highly recommend staying at this inn.It's a shame that the photos we took can't really convey it.

It was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The plates in the room had cute tree decorations, and trees were used throughout the room and hotel lobby, which was soothing. …

The location is great for those coming for mountain climbing as it is close to the Chojahara trailhead in Kuju. The accommodation is clean and the bath is large and the water quality is good. From the open-air bath, you can see Mt. Hoshio and Mt. Mitamata, and there is nothing more pleasant than seeing it. Depending on the weather, you can even see the stars at night. The food was also delicious and made with local ingredients. I will definitely come again during the autumn leaves season.
