I used it the other day for my daughter's birthday. When I arrived, the owner welcomed me with a smile, and I was impressed to see that the hot spring was ready to go.☆The room smelled of hot spring water and aroma, and there was indirect lighting, making it a special atmosphere and relaxing. I had a great time. I was happy to take a hot spring bath many times ♡We were able to have a fun birthday party with our family, as we were allowed to use the dishes and glasses we brought in as well.Waking up in the morning to the chirping of birds was a wonderful experience unique to this place, and it was soothing.Furthermore, there is Takachiho Farm nearby, which is very convenient and I had a great time there, so I would definitely like to use it when I visit Takachiho again.

The owner is a talented therapist. I came from Kanto because I wanted to get a massage. It was a quiet place and the hot springs were very relaxing.

My husband and I stayed here for one night on the first day of our trip.This is a renovated log house-style lodge located in a villa area in Kirishima.It was a wonderful room filled with an oriental mood, with the owner's taste being utilized everywhere.The kitchen, living room, and bedroom are all on one floor, but they are separated into sections for ease of use, and the aromatic scent soothes me.There were plenty of heating equipment and lights, so it was comfortable.The kitchen may have been more fully stocked than at home, including all kinds of tools, tableware, home appliances, and seasonings!You can find most things at the supermarket within a 10 minute drive.It was a villa area, so it was quiet, with no people passing by other than those involved, and no sounds of cars.The bath was spacious with free-flowing sulfur spring water, and I took it many times and it was great.I heard that the owner also offers beauty treatments and massages, but I didn't use them this time.It was a wonderful room that I would like to visit again and stay for several nights if I have a chance.

Thank you for your support during the typhoon.The interior was very stylish and the wallpaper in the bathroom was cute, but the small window on the door was frosted glass and I think it was an old design, but it was really cute. The mirror in the bathroom is huge, which is another thing I like about it. The bath was also large and had enough space for two people. I was happy with the thoughtfulness of the amenities. The whole place had an aromatic scent and was a wonderful, unusual space.The curtain rails, lighting, chairs, and fabrics were all really stylish. As mentioned in other reviews, staying for one night is a waste! It was a space where I wanted to stay for several nights.There are seasonings such as soy sauce and salt and pepper, but if you need them, I think it's a good idea to bring your own seasonings, and since there are no loungewear, I think it's a good idea to bring clothes that you can relax in.

In early October, I was able to relax comfortably with the screen door fully open and listening to the insects and the wind sing.The interior and furnishings are nice as shown in the photos. In addition, they cooled the spring water in the refrigerator and even provided a coffee maker to grind the beans.The thoughtful touches made me feel so comfortable that I would have stayed there for several nights if I had the time.Roadside station Tarumizu, which is about an hour's drive away, was open until 7pm. There is also a footbath. I enjoyed taking out the sashimi and raw guava.
