This is a place where you can stay with your pet. I'm glad that you can let your child do whatever they want in your room as long as you are careful about excreting.I had a relaxing time with my dog.Although the facility itself is very old, it is kept clean and the staff were all friendly and helpful.My husband, who is a big eater, didn't seem to have enough food.

It was my first time staying there.There were two cats, one of which was relaxing in the building the whole time.The food was delicious, the river was flowing right in front of me, and it felt great to be surrounded by nature.However, I was personally disappointed that there was no refrigerator in the room so I couldn't cool my drinks.Also, what about the design of the inn? There are many stairs, which may be difficult for the elderly and children.Overall it was good, so I would like to stay there again.

This is a retro Showa inn located in the quiet Hosenji hot spring village in the mountains and along the river, about 10 minutes by car from Kokonoe Interchange.I stayed in the car at the Kurumatabi Park parking lot.I came here with a dog in a camper, but it was perfect because power was available, there was an awning, garbage disposal, Wi-Fi, and they accepted a variety of pets, including large dogs.There is even an indoor dock run available for an additional fee.If you wish, you can enjoy meals with your dog in a private room! !The baths are fed by natural hot spring water, and you can also reserve a family bath for an additional fee.There is also an open-air bath in the large public bath.Above all, the best thing about this inn is the friendly and warm interaction between the host and the landlady.The facilities are a little old and the inn is located on a slope, so it might be a little difficult for those who want barrier-free accommodation, but it's a great place to forget about everyday life and spend some time relaxing.I love it so much that I'm already making my next reservation, so I'm looking forward to it♪

Best hotel in my life. I remember the hostess with great warmth. We arrived at night and were late, but a great dinner and a swimming pool awaited us. The hostess herself took us to the train. There were no places. We could have missed the plane, one of us was flying to the USA, I was flying to Novosibirsk via Beijing. But this wonderful woman came to an agreement with the railway workers and we got standing places. Thank you very much! Arigato ganjimas!)))I remember this place almost every day, especially the first years. This is due to the impression that this ryokan and its owner left about themselves. Perhaps this is due to the peculiarities of my character and worldview. But, I am infinitely grateful to fate or chance, which unexpectedly and completely accidentally threw me and my son into this small and unremarkable town, where we met the no longer young owner of this hotel.Her kind heart, her participation, it seems to me, made it possible to understand a little better the well-known, simple truth that all normal people on Earth are brothers. Or, as in this case, sisters. I was so touched by the kindness of this woman that I still sometimes talk to her in my mind. Ah, we only knew each other for a few hours, and communicated no more than an hour or an hour and a half. Of course, I know that her care is part of the service, part of her business. But the feeling of kinship, kinship, similarity, similarity, I don’t know how to say it more correctly and accurately, it arose almost immediately...And, also, the dinner was great, and I have never eaten such delicious rice either before or after Kokonoe.

I used the car trip park. It was exactly our wedding anniversary. At night, we watched the fireflies dance. The bath was comfortable and reasonably priced. More than anything, I was drawn to the couple's personalities. I would definitely use it again if I come to Kyushu again. The signboard cat, Shinnosuke, was also very friendly and cute.

I went with my family on a travel discount. The rooms had a Showa-era feel, the bathrooms had a normal feel, and the food was delicious. The hostess was nice, but she only gave me a regional coupon of 1,000 yen per person for a day trip. I thought it was supposed to be 2,000 yen per person for the guests, but I didn't want to make it seem unpleasant, so I didn't say it, but I did give the service a ★★ rating.

I stayed with my husband and dog. As per the reviews, the signboard cat Chan greeted us at the entrance. The building has a retro atmosphere, and there is a small mini-gallery in the lobby and hallways, with tasteful fresh flowers and lamps, and you can feel the hospitality of the proprietress, San. I went up the stairs to the guest room and held my dog. The room was equipped with pet sheets, water bowls, and rollers that I had brought with me, so I could spend the time in the same atmosphere as at home. I was able to eat my meals in a private room with my dog without having to meet other guests, and the staff who brought me the meals treated my dog so cutely that I realized how glad I was to come with my dog. . The meal was Japanese style, and the portion was large enough to fill you up. Everything was very delicious. I think I want to go again.

This time, we are offering a new plan that has never been seen before.I was a member of a camping club and we made a plan to sleep in a car, and it was very popular.Check in, take a bath in the hot springs, and have dinner in the large hall.Then, stay overnight in your own car.The next morning, take a bath and have breakfastAll the members relaxed and went home until check-out.This inn was recommended for groups staying in the car.

I used it at the drop-in bath. Transportation and open-air baths are available for 500 yen per adult.The quality of the hot springs is described as pure hot springs, and it is said to be smooth and good for the skin.The indoor bath, Midori Yume, was a little hot, and the open-air bath, Genji Botaru no Yume, was lukewarm.Amenities include shampoo, conditioner, and body soap.There was a scale and a hair dryer in the changing room.I thought it was a nice inn that was kept very clean.

I stayed here with my dog. I had a Japanese-style room on the second floor, so I had to carry my dog up the stairs. The quality of the hot springs was average, but I could feel my body getting warmer after getting out of the water, and I wasn't sweating much.I was able to eat meals with my dog in a private room, so I was able to share some food with my dog.There was a cat at the entrance, and even if it saw a dog, it wouldn't run away and was guarding the gate.I was concerned that the space at the entrance to the room was too small and my slippers got in the way when opening and closing the door.The landlady was friendly and made us feel welcome.

We stayed here last November. I stayed there for a celebration with my family of 4 adults and a dog, and I was very surprised by what was served for dinner. Due to the disaster caused by heavy rain, it was no longer possible to stay at "Oyado Miko," which I had originally booked, due to damage caused by the disaster, so I decided to stay at the accommodation based on the fact that pets are allowed and there were empty rooms. was.I have visited Oyado Mikoko many times with my family and my husband and wife, as they provide excellent hospitality and delicious meals, and this inn located nearby is no less wonderful. A word of regret. I had made a request over the phone for a celebratory kaiseki meal in advance, but there was no grilled fish or tempura, so it was like a set meal.Even though I used a coupon, using coupons is common these days.That's what this campaign is for.There were no other guests, so it was very quiet, and the only memories I have are the terrible scenery of the meal.I have stayed many times in Japan and abroad,This inn is the worst word. The building was damaged by water and blue tarpaulins were placed all over the place, but I am grateful that they were able to accommodate customers even under such circumstances.The breakfast was average, the staff's customer service was good, and the bath had good hot water, so I will give it a 2 star rating.”

It might have something to do with staying there on a cold day, but the room was cold and the air conditioner didn't work at all. The setup was bad, the room was drafty, the food was a little weird...and there was dust and dead small insects on the spoons. I felt offended. I had heard that the hot springs were good, so I was looking forward to it, but the men's bath had floating moss and the floor was slippery.When I opened the outdoor bath, it looked like a parking lot, and the hot water was cold, so it was very cold.In the family bathroom, the shower had hot water, but it was difficult to adjust with the water, but there was only one shower, so it was very cold.Honestly, I don't understand why other people gave it 4 stars. ...Some of the staff members were so unfriendly that I thought it was stupid to have to pay for something like this.

An inn where you can stay with your pet.The staff are also very kind and this is a recommended inn for those bringing pets.Although the construction is old, it was well cleaned.I would like to go again as they are taking good measures against the coronavirus.
