The boss and his wife were very nice. Although we didn't understand the language, they still welcomed us warmly.Breakfast and dinner were super delicious😋, and we were given snacks and desserts.The hot springs are super comfortable. After skiing and soaking in the hot springs, I felt happy both physically and mentally.

The B&B is run by a husband and wife. They are very warm and friendly. The environment is warm and clean. It has private hot springs and open-air hot springs, and comes with dinner and breakfast, which is delicious!Great experience staying here.

The price was reasonable and the food was delicious.Especially the meat is amazing.The hot springs can be reserved for private use, with both indoor and outdoor baths, but I felt like the open-air baths could be seen from all around, so I was a little worried.The room felt like a room in a house, so there wasn't much privacy, but it was clean and comfortable.

The food was just delicious! !Unfortunately, I couldn't use the open-air bath, which was my favorite part, because the water supply was broken.I hope it's fixed the next time I go...Also, there were a lot of black particles floating in the family bath, and there was dirt stuck to the hot water outlet, giving it a sense of history, but at the same time I felt it lacked a sense of cleanliness.It seems like it's run by a husband and wife team, so I think it's quite difficult to get involved.The room was newly built, so it was very clean and spacious (so spacious...!) I was able to spend a relaxing time there.I would like to go again once the open-air bath is fixed.

It was my first time staying in a Japanese-Western style room with twin beds.The meal is home-cooked country food.The main dish is Oita Wagyu beef steak.It's so tender it almost melts in your mouth.Baths are private indoor baths and open-air baths.The hot springs felt a little slimy, but they were smooth.It's surrounded by mountains, so there's nothing to see.I think I need to gargle again.

I always travel alone, so it's surprisingly difficult to find accommodation that will accommodate me.In that respect, Mr. Yamatsubaki was happy to accept the offer.I heard that the specialty dish here is Oita prefecture wagyu beef grilled on a ceramic platter, so as a meat lover, I visited with high expectations.As rumored, it's high-quality Wagyu beef, and when you pop the grilled meat into your mouth, it melts away.The fat is not sticky and it's smooth, and the scent of Japanese beef spreads in your mouth, making it really delicious, even better than Bungo beef.The next morning, he prepared rice cooked in a hagama pot, and I finished two freshly cooked meals in no time.After the meal, you can enjoy cheesecake and coffee made by the landlady!Wow, it was seriously delicious!The room was very clean, the futon was fluffy, and the room was equipped with a clean toilet and refrigerator, so I had a comfortable stay.The personality of the owner couple is also charming!As mentioned in other reviews, once you stay here, you will understand how good it is!

A quiet inn with only 4 groups per dayThe Japanese-Western style rooms are spacious and comfortable.Meals were served at a private table and chairs.There was a lot of meaty Bungo beef, and I was full.The breakfast is also very satisfying.There are two open-air baths for men and women, and two private baths.The inn only has 4 rooms, so you don't have to wait to take a bath.The coronavirus countermeasures were perfect and I was able to stay with peace of mind.
