It was a fantastic stay in a traditional tatami room. The room was comfy, clean and warm. Since I came here in March, I enjoyed staying inside a table with a heater underneath, Kotatsu(こたつ).I loved the private onsen-style bathtub which located outside the main building.It was perfect for those who are shy to get in public baths.The staff was friendly and tried his best to introduce the facilities in English.The Ryokan offered both dinner and breakfast . We enjoyed the food in early morning and maybe we will booked for the dinner next time.I would recommend the ryokan for visitors who drive a car. Since I was travelling by train in this visit, it took 20 minutes walking to the Ryokan from nearby station.

The traditional room was purely amazing with lots of space. The people were cautious, extra polite and really kind to us for every question we may had. The food was impressive for the price, plus the service and the personal room to eat.Cherry on top, the semi-private hot bath. Modern, spacious, quite, with huge window giving access to fresh air.Small complain, you really need a car (free parking btw) if you want to access this place and being able to roaming around the region. But I assume that if you looking for to visit this region, it will be the case!The best ration between quality a price so far since a long time!ありがとうございました!

Clean and spacious rooms with private toilets (only toilet bowl and wash basin). Bathing facility is onsen style which is outside the building. The onsen rooms are private and clean.WiFi isn’t great! It drops off intermittently. Best you use your own data plan.

A Ryokan style BnB with private public bath room (onsen style) which is clean and relaxing. Good if you need a place to rest when visiting Mt Aso area. Room is big with tatami mattress provided.

A bit difficult to find but we had an interesting stay, traditional Japanese bedding needs some getting used to, loved the private shower room, and the price was great as well.
