Avoid - not worth the price
Posted 11 Nov 2023 on HotelsVery uncomfortable stay. The biggest issue was that unfortunately the entire room smelt of damp and mould during the whole stay. The rooms need to be ventilated properly. The rooms are also very dated (looks nothing like the photos) and some fixtures are broken to the point of being dangerous. E.g; nail sticking out and frayed electrical cords.
Food is below average, and service minimal. The hotel entrance is very difficult to see, and we were given no directions before check-in. One staff member speaks some English which was ok, however no English guide was provided at all in the room.
We paid 130,000 yen, we expected a lot more for that price. There are many more great onsen in the area, avoid this.

Peaceful!
Posted 8 Nov 2019 on HotelsSuch an amazing setting amongst the trees. Peaceful and serene. Amazing hosts who were extremely helpful. The food was just incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals there. It isn't the cheapest place to stay in especially with the kaiseki meal that comes with the booking but it makes for a wonderful experience.

なんとも贅沢な空間でしょう。
広大な敷地に3棟の離れ。他のお客さんにもほぼ会うこともなく、静寂を存分に味わうことが可能です。
スタッフの皆さんもとても丁寧で心ゆくまでリラックスできる宿です。

自然に囲まれた離れで、大変リラックスした時間を過ごすことができました。
温泉ではないものの阿蘇の水で柔らかいため、肌がしっとりしました。岩盤浴も暑すぎず、長時間いてじんわり汗をかく感じで気持ち良かったです。
