Dinner included ; 2 peopleTax included¥38,400〜
(USD 241.68)

A magical accommodation illuminated by bamboo lights amidst the lush greenery of Minami Aso.

Nestled in the lush greenery of Minami Aso, "Chikurakutei" is a secluded accommodation where every room features a private open-air bath, illuminated by the enchanting glow of bamboo lights. The bamboo lights adorning the interiors and courtyard create a beautiful ambiance using "bamboo," as reflected in the name of this ryokan, offering guests relaxation and tranquility. The slightly warm alkaline simple hot spring water is gentle on the skin and highly praised for its beautifying effects. In addition to private open-air baths in all rooms, enjoy moments of peace and rejuvenation at our spacious public bath (indoor), surrounded by an atmosphere of openness.

  • We were very satisfied.

    The open-air bath attached to the Room was spacious, and there were also sun loungers, making it perfect for relaxing. The Room was clean and comfortable, and we had a pleasant stay. The service was polite and we were satisfied. The meals were delicious and luxurious; however, if I may be picky, the portions were too large. For guests in their 50s, about half would likely be enough to feel full. It would be even better if portion sizes could be adjusted.

  • It was amazing!

    At first, I wasn’t sure because the large public bath was out of order, but the open-air bath in the Room was amazing. The food was excellent too! I definitely want to come again!!
