It's in a location that would have been difficult to find without a navigation system, but the staff's reception and customer service, food, room, and bath were all very good.I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed there in early March while going sightseeing to Mt. Aso and Takachiho.Although it is not a traditional house-style ryokan, I liked the view of the Mt. Aso crater. Since the building has a straight structure, the crater can be seen from all rooms.I was able to enjoy the hot springs in the morning and evening as I could see a wide view from the open-air bath in the room. The view of Mt. Aso from the large window of the large public bath is great, but we recommend enjoying it from the bathhouse in your room if possible.The food is Japanese home-style food for breakfast, and you can enjoy unlimited refills of meat and alcohol in the evening. They also provide vegetables to grill together, and I recommend eating green peppers and pork together. The raw fish eaten before the meal was also really delicious. There were so many different types of alcohol that you could enjoy them with your food.Above all, the staff were all friendly, so there was no inconvenience in communication, and they kept the room clean. Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, and body soap in large containers, so there is no inconvenience. Toothbrushes and a little toothpaste are also provided.I stayed this Ryokan with my parents for visiting Mt.Aso and Takachiho valley in Miyasaki. I'm satisfied with its view of Mt.Aso in the room. You can see Aso Volcano in every room becasue of hotel's structure. I recommend you to choose the room with open-bath. You can enjoy bathing with the marvelous view day and night.Ryokan provides Japanese style breakfast and unlimited dinner. My family loves beef supplied in dinner, which was soft and juicy and Sushi was fanatastic too. Also alcohol is various and unlimited. Draft beer was so lovely and cool. You can find several types of Japanese alcohol.Especially! All the crews in the hotel were so kind and nice to our family despite the language barrier. They always tried to explain and help us to stay cozy.

4/5
The seating area was very spacious and the cabin had multiple bedrooms. I think it is convenient for staying in a group. Two people stayed in the room, and it was a spacious room with four bedrooms, a hall in the center, and two toilets (beds can only be used by the number of guests). Even if you are staying with two people, it is helpful to have two toilets. The public bath is not large, but there is also a sauna and cold bath, and many rooms have their own bath, so it doesn't seem to be too crowded.Dinner includes all-you-can-drink beer, shochu, and wine, as well as all-you-can-eat meat (you order more meat when your plate is empty). Since the food is baked on a cassette stove, I thought it would be a good idea to take a bath after eating if you are concerned about the smell of smoke.The road to the inn is a bit narrow, so you have to be careful about passing oncoming cars, but it's far from the road, so it's quiet, and you can see Aso stretching out in front of you from your guest room window.By the way, WiFi is only available in the lobby and the second floor where the dining area is located, so it cannot be used in the audience seats.

The open-air bath in the guest room was amazing.The room is also very large and I am satisfied.The staff were very considerate and provided very polite customer service.The only thing I was disappointed with was the smell of the towels... If you can improve on that point, I would like to recommend it to various people!
