Two women stayed here. I enjoyed the very clean and spacious room, from the attached bath to the record audio! The private bath was also elegant, and the lukewarm water was very comfortable. The landlady always greeted us kindly and offered us lots of services when we left ✨️ Above all, it's a wonderful inn with friendly people! I highly recommend it.

I had a good memory of going there once a long time ago, so this time I took my kids to take a family bath.It's a very large barrel bath, and the windows can be opened, giving it a feeling of openness.It's a very relaxing bath with a nice wood scent.I would like to go there again on my way home from Mise.

I used it on a solo trip.The private bath had a very nice atmosphere and I was able to take a relaxing bath. Both dinner and breakfast are elaborate. Dinner in particular was luxurious with sweetfish, Mise chicken, and Saga beef. Koumemushi, which is chawanmushi with plums in it, was very delicious and left an impression on me.The Japanese-style room we stayed in was comfortable and tasteful. I am very happy with their consideration and would like to use them again.

I drove from Chiba Prefecture to Kyushu and chose this as my last hotel before returning home. The food and drinks were elaborate and delicious. As for the room, I chose a room with a bed called ``Moon Rabbit'' because my house had futons, and it was a wonderful inn, cute and clean. I was surprised by the private hot spring bath made of rose sake barrels.Also, the staff, including the young woman serving the meals and the landlady, were friendly and talked to me, making me feel comfortable.The host of the inn also traveled around the country on his motorcycle when he was young, so it was nice to be able to talk to him about various things on the way home.

This is a ryokan with a sense of history. I was able to truly relax in the quiet and spacious Japanese-style room. The staff was very considerate. The hot water is perfect. Each dish was carefully prepared, the tableware was beautiful, and the food was served with great care. Although it was my first time using it, I wanted to make it my regular stay.
