The futon was clean and fluffy. The room had everything you needed, and the karinto tea sweets were very delicious. The host was also kind.

Used for day trip bathing.Adults 650 yen. Coin lockers are available (100 yen) for entering the men's and women's baths.There are amenities such as conditioner shampoo, body soap, hair dryer, lotion, but no towels.I think it's a bit pricey considering it's only a rather narrow indoor bath.It looks like it will be used for a training camp, so it will be a problem if it takes up a lot of time.The hot water felt good.

In order to go to Takachiho Gorge...I stayed at a wood shop nearby.For dinner, we had red beef bowl at Umanokura on the way from Kumamoto, and only stayed overnight and had breakfast.The bath here is the best. The quality of the spring water was so smooth that it felt really good ☺️The bath itself was a normal bathhouse, but the water was hot.Breakfast was also delicious❗The inn is located near a valley, so it's deep in the mountains and quiet, but the staff and customer service were polite and my wife and I were satisfied. Even when I go back to my hometown, I still say how good the hot water was there 😁

Accommodation facility located in G Park in Gokase Town.The existence of this place is valuable as there are almost no places to stay or eat out in Gokase Town. The facility is generally clean.The restaurant's ``Itsuse'' is popular, but it seems that it cannot accommodate a large number of people.The bathhouse has only 7 bathtubs and washing areas (men's bath). The water temperature is slightly lukewarm and relaxing.The rooms on the second floor do not have baths or toilets and are 1,100 yen cheaper than other rooms, but the toilets are located at the end of the floor, which is quite inconvenient depending on the location of the guest room. The air conditioning works well even on low, but there is no heating, so you have no choice but to wear warm clothes in the winter.Also, it is difficult that most of the outlets in the room are occupied.You can purchase food and souvenirs on the first floor, but be careful as the prices are quite high and some are almost twice as expensive as in nearby stores.

The sunset is beautiful, it's very quiet and it's great to run on the ground below and then soak in the hot springs.

Be prepared to use Japanese only to talk to staff as they are friendly locals and helping in nice causal manner.The place have so signs of age but it's definitely clean and good quality.It is really a random place, but it's likely run by the village hall and meant to cater for sport event athletes and visitors. But things are definitely descent.The onsen water quality is very good.

I used it for hot springs and meals.The hot spring water was very smooth and kept warm, so it was very comfortable.The food was very delicious, with just the right texture and taste, including tempura, sukiyaki, and chawan mushi made with local meat and vegetables.The souvenir vending machine was also fun!

There are only expensive hotels around Takachiho, but this one includes dinner and is a very reasonable price. Dinner was delicious, and although the bathhouse was small, the hot water was very good. The location is great, with a spacious parking lot and great views of the mountains. We highly recommend it as it's within a 30 minute drive from Takachiho Shrine and Takachiho.

I was looking for an inn for sightseeing in Takachiho Gorge on the web, but perhaps because the number of inns was small, this was the only inn with vacancies, so I made a reservation. The response to inquiries was very courteous.The room is small. The bath is small, but as expected from Kyushu! The quality of the spring water was good and it was relaxing. The food was very delicious and the contents were very good.The only drawback is that there is no elevator. When we arrived, the person in charge carried our luggage. The bath is on the first floor, so you have to go back and forth, which may not be possible for elderly people.

We used it as a drop-in hot spring.Admission is 650 yen for adults other than Gokase residents.The fee to use the valuables locker is 100 yen.There is only one bathtub, and when there is no training camp etc.You can take your time, but if there is a training camp etc., studentsBecause there are many people using it, please take your time.you can't.Using the Kyushu Chuo Expressway from Nobeoka to KumamotoIt's located just off Route 218.Therefore, it is perfect as a drop-in hot spring.Reservations are required at the restaurant for non-guests.is.

I stopped by by chance, and the quality of the spring water was smooth and amazing❗In terms of facilities, it feels like a public bath or a large bath at a training camp.The attached restaurant has been completely reservation-only since March 2020, so unfortunately we weren't able to eat there😢

I stayed here about 2 years ago, and since then I've used the bath once. Thank you for taking care of me in the bath this time. The bathing fee is 650 yen and the locker fee is 100 yen, so I guess the price has gone up a little compared to before❓ The hot springs are alkaline hot springs and there is no sauna, but your skin will be smooth and smooth, and you will leave the hot spring feeling warm after soaking in the bathtub. did. thank you very much.

Well, the hot water felt thick, but in Kyushu you can get really good hot springs at a really cheap price, so I thought 500 yen for circulating filtered hot water was a bit...Also, perhaps due to bad luck, the customer base was poor.・An old man lying on the edge of a bathtub or soaking a towel in the bathtub (this is often mentioned in warnings, but this was the first time I've seen someone actually do this)・They go out of their way to stand right next to you so that you can almost touch their bodies (this kind of harassment often occurs not only here, but also from regular customers from the countryside). Despite her appearance, she seems to be a clean freak, washing towels like crazy and worrying about water droplets in the changing room...lol・Let's go! U○ comes out! I don't know what happened after that because I left right away and asked them to give me a break.I want to tell them not to bring children of that level to public baths. but…)I decided there would be no second time.

It was my first time making a reservation, but it was almost full.It happened that there were no rooms available and there was no bathroom, but it was no problem.Since there are no restaurants or convenience stores nearby, we decided to include dinner.The restaurant's customer service is impeccable.I got a little drunk.The hot spring was full-fledged, and it was very nice and slippery.I was very happy to be greeted casually by the locals.I wanted to come again.

Two people stayed here on Sunday, November 2023, with breakfast included. It's a good place to stay at an affordable price.●The bathhouse is not large, but I like the quality of the spring water.●I couldn't find Miyazaki's famous chicken nanban on the dinner menu, so I went to Takachiho Gorge to eat it, but the dinner at the inn looked very delicious, so I'd like to stay overnight with dinner included next time.●According to the pamphlet I received at the reception, there is a coin laundry 5 minutes away by car.●I bought some vinegar to drink at the souvenir shop on the first floor! It's delicious!●As for the guest room, the toilet opens inward, so it's a little difficult to wear toilet slippers, but everything else is satisfactory.

I only used the onsen of the hotel. It costs 500¥ to use the hotel's onsen even if you are not a guest.

Used for overnight stay.Everyone at the front desk, the restaurant, and the cleaning team I met in the morning were friendly and the rooms were clean, so I had a comfortable stay.The bathroom is not large, but since it was reserved for most of the time, you can use it at your leisure, and the quality of the spring water is surprisingly slippery and very moist. Maybe the temperature is low.Tattoos are not allowed, so people with tattoos should be careful.Dinner and breakfast are not bad value for money.It's delicious and it's nice to be able to eat freshly baked food right in front of you.The view is not particularly good. You can't see the sunrise or sunset because they are hidden in the forest. The street lights are bright, so the starry sky isn't great either.
