Ryotei Yamasa Ryokan

A property specializing in soft-shelled turtle cuisine, established in Taisho 9.

A utopia in Eastern Kyushu, floating in the mist and sinking in the fog. With the majestic Yufudake, affectionately known as Bungo Fuji, as a scenic backdrop, immerse your hands in the clear streams of the Tsubo and Fukami rivers, and explore the romance of the Kyushu theory of Yamatai-koku, a place where the renowned writer Seicho Matsumoto once rested during his travels.

Both dinner and breakfast are served in private rooms, allowing you to enjoy your meals at your leisure. The Room you will stay in has been newly renovated and reopened in July 2024.
