小さい宿ならではのおもてなし

Reviewed By Margarethanako

家族経営の小さい宿です。場所は車でしか行けませんが和風の趣が素敵な宿です。 イスラム教徒が1人いたので豚肉、豚由来の調味料、アルコール(酒、みりん)なしでお料理をお願いしました。 温泉は全て家族風呂なので1人で安心して入れました。お料理も質、量ともに充実してて美味しかったです。

Good value

Reviewed By Ualyma

Not a luxury place as expected when we booked. Staff were very helpful and food was above our expectation (a lot to eat). Beddings were very comfortable. Room was a bit wear out. The best was the public onsen, one super big indoor and one outdoor on the second level. There was a water jet shower next to the onsen. Beware the private family onsen is not free. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Yamaainoyado Kiyasuya

Great value with beautiful rooms, meals

Reviewed By Yukari K

We stayed here for one night on our first trip back to Japan in three years. This inn is doing a great job, particularly considering the rate, which includes two meals. Each room has its own outdoor tub, which is pretty sizeable for an in-room tub. The meals reflected a lot of effort and creativity by the chef, who focuses on local ingredients including a tempura of local greens that he foraged himself. They were filling, but not too much. This inn continues to be particularly careful in covid times, so the service was simple (though sincere). Once they show you to your room, you are left to your own devices, and meals are taken in private rooms in the dining area. There is some rigidity. For example, they seat everyone for dinner at 6pm and breakfast at 8am. You are not given a choice. But overall, I think you get a lot of bang for your buck here in a beautiful part of the country. Highly recommended.

Lovely place

Reviewed By Skybluexx

This was a place with around 12 cottages that u enter and u will be wowed by the interior furnishing with a jacuzzi and the onsen outside. At night the fire is lighted to provide you some warmth. However, we have no idea why it will automatically off the heated floor at night. Hence it was a bit cold. When we first enter the resort, the service felt a bit cold incomparison to other ryokans we have been to ! My trip favorite currently is onyado chikunrintei in saga. The lady serving us was so sweet and takes care of my baby ! The food was not as good as I expected. It was good but not excellent. So far, ryokans such as chikunrintei and hoshinoya yufuin provided better food quality. Places nearby are nabegataki falls, kuju park and takachiho gorge! Beautiful sights at nabegataki and takachiho. The flowers in kuju park had not opened yet so probably it is better worth a visit after April. Overall a very good experience, I like the lounge area and the short introduction at bar caldera on the area around mount Aso.

温泉でゆっくりほっこり

Reviewed By marian251113

思いがけず休みの都合が付いたので、急遽、好きな泉質の黒川・小田地区の温泉宿を探したのですが、紅葉のベストシーズンで空きが無く、今まで選択肢に無かった筋湯温泉に行くことにしました。結果、心ゆくまで温泉を堪能することができました。私が大好きなほんのり茹で卵の香りのする柔らかいお湯が贅沢なまでにかけ流し。全10室の客室(内2室は風呂付)に対し、男女別大浴場と4つの貸切湯という充分すぎる風呂数。貸切湯は予約不要で空いていれば利用でき、時間を気にする必要がなく便利です。当日は8割の稼働率でしたが、大浴場はいつも貸切、貸切湯も常に空いていました。今回は温泉を満喫したかったので、お風呂付きのお部屋にしました。最初は貸切湯が充実しているのでもったいなかったかなと思いましたが、私も同行者もここの客室露天をとても気に入り、チェックアウト直前まで入っていました。夕食は18:00スタートのみで、素材を生かしたやさしい味付けの温かい料理を出してくれます。特別なサービスはありませんが、温泉を楽しむには最高のお宿です。
