Since it's a detached restaurant, there was almost no interference with other customers, so I was able to relax.The rock bath with the room felt so good with the flowing water!

This is my first experience in a good hot spring hotel in Japan. The attitude of the service staff is very good, and the kaiseki cuisine is delicious. However, some traditional pickled products are not suitable for foreigners' taste. The hot spring uniforms in the hotel are also cute and beautiful.The hotel requires self-driving to reach the hotel, and the journey is quite rugged. If you have no driving experience, you need to be careful. But I think the scenery on the drive is very beautiful, with a lot of farmland, rivers and mountain views.The hotel's hot springs have a light sulfur smell and are clear and very comfortable. My skin feels better after soaking, haha. However, the temperature of the hot spring is very hot, so you need to adjust the water temperature before soaking, otherwise you will get burned 😂😂. Moreover, there will inevitably be some small insects in outdoor hot springs. You can just brush them away, but I don't care, so I think it is acceptable.The experience this time was very good and I will visit again in other seasons in the future.

I stayed here for the first time in a while. The food, hot springs, rooms, everything is just as good as before.The landlady's customer service is always conveyed with kindness.It was good. For around 20,000 yen, you can get an open-air bath in your room, 3 private baths, and meals.Meat, sashimi, horse sashimi, salt-grilled yamame trout,Seasonal tempura, chawanmushi, etc.Everything is delicious. Actually, I ordered sukiyaki for the main course, but I wish there was more meat.I'm so happy 😄. For breakfast, rice cooked in a pot was served, and there were so many options that it was like staying at a high-end inn.come out. My personal opinion is that it is good for breakfast too.I feel like I'm putting effort into it.There are quite a few places where the dinner is good but the breakfast is disappointing, but Aya Yamano's was very well balanced and I was satisfied.This is an inn located right below Sujiyu Onsen.I'm happy because I can receive coins for the sujiyu utaseyu as part of the service. You can get there in about 5 minutes on foot! Please go and enter!It has been a famous hot spring for a long time.I will be staying again in the fall.This is my recommended accommodation. Once if you likePlease go and try it 😊

A place you can't get to without a rental carIt might be difficult to come if it snows, but the scenery will be really nice.I had sukiyaki for dinner and it was delicious and I was really full up to my throat.The breakfast is neat and diverse.Everything is explained through a translator.How did it happen that Koreans flooded here?There are three family baths, but the middle one is the biggest.

I think it's the best hot spring inn in this area in many ways.The food is delicious, especially the yamame trout grilled in the hearth.In addition to the open-air bath in your room, you can also enjoy a private bath.Recommended for hot spring lovers who want to relax in nature and enjoy the countryside atmosphere.

I took a bath in the open-air bath, and it was spacious with a great view and the water was nice. However, the washing area is open in winter, so it might take some courage... (lol)

I stayed here while sightseeing in Beppu.Both the guest room open-air bath and the three family baths had good hot springs. The bath is a little hot.The rice was very satisfying in quantity and delicious.It was my first time grilling Yamame trout, but thanks to the easy-to-understand explanations, I was able to grill it deliciously.If you go by car, please be careful as you will be passing through a narrow road.

A quiet hot spring inn located a little outside of the inn area of Sujiyu. The hot spring surrounded by trees is soothing. Dinner eaten by the hearth was delicious and kept my feet warm.

I went to Sujiyu for my first hot spring trip, and I had such fond memories of it that I went to Yamanoiro again in Sujiyu after a long time. As recommended by many people, I stayed without any shortcomings. From the cleanliness of the room, the comfort of the open-air bath, nature, meals, and the kindness and cheerfulness of the clerk, I felt comfortable as if I was at my grandmother's house in the countryside. This is a ryokan I definitely want to visit again if I have the chance.

The quiet scenery surrounded by greenery will make you forget about your daily life. I think the open-air bath attached to the room is pure bliss. It also has the best cost performance.

The rooms have some changes over time, but they are all kept clean. The view from the open-air bath is elegant, and the food is delicious.

I was fascinated by the food and hot water at this inn and have stayed here several times. Lately, I have had to wait a long time in advance to get a reservation for my desired date, and I'm both happy and sad about how popular the inn is. The specifications of the rooms and bathrooms are all different, and I look forward to staying there every time. Today's room is Tsuwabuki (Japanese-Western room with indoor bath). Types where the garden and open-air are integrated, such as honeysuckle and Yamaboshi, are atmospheric and wonderful, but the bath can be seen from the window of the room. Since my parents were with me on this trip, the indoor bath type was more convenient. Another good thing about this inn is that you can control the amount of water in the baths in your room, so you can fine-tune the temperature to your liking. And the most enjoyable part is dinner. In Sujiyu, which is dotted with small inns, there are many inns that serve somewhat home-style dishes (which are delicious in their own way), but Yamasai's cuisine stands out from the crowd, and is a true example of the chef's presence. It's a taste that makes you feel. Time passes by relaxing while feeling the heat of the irori hearth. Among the meat dishes you can choose from, we recommend the soy milk shabu-shabu. You can enjoy the freshly made Yuba twice. I also love the dashimaki eggs in the morning. I will go again!

I stayed in Kisumire's room.I stayed here with my daughter who was less than a year old, and they took care of my child in many ways, so even though it was my first trip since my child was born, I was able to rest my mind and body. is completed.The quality and quantity of the food was perfect, and the bath in the room was both great in size and quality, so I soaked in it for about 3 hours after dinner (lol).I guess you could call it a complaint, but I think it can't be helped, but I'm not usually particularly sensitive to sounds, but I heard the thumping and creaking sounds of the guests on the second floor after 4 a.m., and I was shocked. I felt cold and couldn't sleep for a while. This is like a gacha for upper-class customers, so I think it can't be helped since the room is on the first floor. (lol)The rooms other than Kisumire are on the second floor or one-story, so you may not have to worry about this in other rooms.I will definitely repeat it again!

We used the Western-style room on the second floor. The view from the room was good, and the semi-open-air bath was pleasant. …

The room has its own hot spring house, and there are three family hot spring houses outside, including the outdoor hot spring, which is super enjoyable. The ingredients are fresh and delicious, especially the beef is super tender. It is really amazing and worth recommending.
