    The room is clean. The accommodation feels like home, and you make your own bed set. The location is good, with parking available and a minimart nearby, although there is no public transport. The shared bathroom is not a problem—you can use it privately, and the onsen is good.

    Annex and main building are not connected so you need to put on proper clothes and shoes to get from the annex to the baths in the main building.

    I had a single room in the annex. It was very compact but comfortable. I used one of the two reservation-only (but free) baths and it was great after a day of biking in the cold. The dry curry for dinner as well as the sukiyaki for breakfast were exceptional. I was also a good value and I would stay here again for sure.

    The hot spring is very good. The hot spring is so privacy as you need to reserve the hot spring. It is also very good to have a convenience store besides Asobe. You can go to buy food and snacks any time.

    We got a Japanese traditional room; with our larger luggage, it was a bit awkward to use with the futons laid out. Not a deal breaker, but something to watch out for.

    Room was decently sized, with a cable you can pull out to the other side to hang up towels to dry. As noted in the negative bit, if you have larger luggage, once the futons were out, it might start getting a bit cramped. Food was pretty decent - we did not get the meal option, so we ended up eating the curry and basashi (horse meat sashimi) that was available. Seeing the dining room food, we kind of wish we had gotten a meal option! But you could also just go to the FamilyMart next door for quick and convenient options as well if you missed out and it was past dining time. Baths that were available for use were quite spacious and comfortable. Some required booking and others were first come first served.

    It's located in the outskirts of the city so not very convenient without a car, have to rely on buses and trains or pay for taxis

    This was much more comfortable than I expected. The room was small but all necessities were provided. Very clean and staff were friendly. There was a supermarket next door and a bus stop close by.

    Onsens are pretty and private, but not warm enough for my taste and not with hot spring water.

    Nice Ryokan, comfortable room especially for 2 people, with ryokan style beds. The curry they serve is very tasty, but the only thing they serve at dinner. However there is a familymarkt next door.

    What was wonderful for us might incline the stay of others, the ryokan is a little secluded and you should have a care or await longer travel time by bus or train.

    A wonderful but rustic ryokan, a little more of the trak of normal tourism. We had a wonderful two nights stay and enjoyed the experience sincerely. Ignore every post thatchers bath could be unclean. They are impeccable, everything you could mistake for a stain, is just mineral deposit naturally accuring in a thermal bath filled with vulcanic waters.

    Pillows were kind of uncomfortable. I didn’t ask if they had other types though, because we only stayed for one night.

    Japanese style, clean and free reservation for multiple different types of private onsens. Very conviniently family mart is right next door (24/7). I loved the atmosphere here. A lot of places to park. The man at the desk spoke pretty good english.

    The room is relatively small, but it's enough for sleeping. Also, there was no soundproofing, which could be a problem if the neighbour is making a lot of noise. Also, there's a charge of around 400 yen/night if you bring an infant, which isn't described in the information.

    The location is very convenient if you want to explore Mount Aso (Nakadake Crater and Kusasenri) and Cuddly Dominion. There is also a family mart nearby. The staff was good and helped me to call the taxi.

    The cafe was closed . Our second floor room didn’t have an attached bathroom/toilet. The common toilets were just outside our door. The bathroom/onsens were downstairs on the 1st floor. These were fairly minor issues but takes a little getting used to.

    Conveniently located. The onsen facilities. Family Mart next door. Friendly staff. Plenty of restaurants within a ten minute drive.

    The best hotel we had on our Fufuoka trip, the room is excellent, above our expectations. Big, spacious, everything is clean and new. The location is good, just beside Family Mart, and just 5 mins away from the entrance to Mount Aso. I would like to give 6 stars if I can.
