Take the ferry from Unzen to Amakusa.I made a last minute reservation and there were no other places available so I came here.Since it's Donbei, I was looking forward to all-you-can-drink, sashimi, and ara-taki.The customer service is really refreshing. It's not bad. Because I had it◯The bath is like a bathtub triple the size of the one at home.Circulation? There is a constant stream of strong water, giving it a beautiful impression.There is a hot spring facility in front of me, but I didn't go there.As for the main dish, the sashimi was large and OK, but 4 slices for each of the 3 of us was half-baked. It was good to have one slice at a time. .The flavor of the cooked rice was bland. I wanted it to be cooked still sweet and spicy.The all-you-can-drink beer server and juices were great with a wide variety of options, but 90 minutes? A short time to eat and drink.

Stayed overnight with a friend while cycling around Amakusa.Arrived much later than originally scheduled,All-you-can-drink beer has been postponed.I was able to park my bicycle inside the entrance.Baths are open from 16:00 to 21:00. It feels like we are working together and taking turns.There is a washer and dryer (sorry, my friend ran it for me, so I forget the cost. It's probably 100 yen or something). There was also free detergent.Dinner and breakfast were substantial as shown in the photo, and we were able to get refills of rice.The plan included all-you-can-drink, but as I mentioned earlier, I couldn't make it in time, but I was able to order a single beer for 500 yen.There are no vending machines on the premises, but there is a place with several vending machines about a 1-minute walk away.The parking lot was also spacious. Many motorcyclists who came for touring were staying there.The room was air-conditioned and had 4 outlets, which I felt was sufficient for a single person.There are also towels and bath towels.There was also a TV.There were times when I could hear sounds from other rooms, so it might not be suitable for people who are sensitive.There were sandals at the entrance that I could use to go outside, so I think this is a helpful accommodation for cyclists.

The sashimi is fresh and delicious. I was able to use Kumamoto's travel discount right away, which was even more advantageous. It's low-malt beer, but it's all-you-can-drink, and the juices are also good. The large bath can be used like a family bath, and the refrigerator and toilet are shared. I appreciate that there is also a water server. It's conveniently located near the roadside station and beach, and has a nice view. The sunsets are beautiful and they even tell you when the sun sets.

The location was very good and the room had a nice view of the sea. The octopus seems to be famous, but it's a pity that it wasn't included in the dishes.The food was not as satisfying as I expected, and the amount of water in the washroom was small. Also, I took a leisurely soak in the communal bath, but I was surprised when someone forced the door open and came in, even though I had locked the door when I entered.
