I stayed here during the Expo. It’s a bit far from the station, but the shuttle bus was very helpful. I couldn’t make it in time for the large public bath, but since it was a hot day, a shower was enough.

Excellent value for money. The automatic entrance door was out of order and had to be opened manually, and the Room bathroom was extremely small, but considering the low price, it didn’t bother me at all.

A very calm Accommodation where you can relax to the chorus of frogs. It has both a day-use Facility and overnight Accommodation on the same property. The Onsen is a mildly alkaline simple hot spring, gentle on the skin even with multiple baths—ideal for guests who want to soak several times during their stay. Dinner surprised me with its sheer volume—in a good way. Dish after dish keeps coming, so I recommend skipping lunch before you take it on (lol). You can fully enjoy Kumamoto specialties such as kuruma prawns, sea bream, and kibinago (silver-stripe round herring). The Facility itself is not a luxury Hotel, but that’s exactly what makes it appealing: a relaxed place loved by locals where you can truly unwind. If you’re tired of excessive service, this laid-back atmosphere will feel genuinely restful. Personally, I think in rural areas this kind of unpretentious comfort suits the setting better than luxury or over-the-top service. Given the amount of food, the pricing feels fair. There might also be demand for a slightly smaller meal at a lower price point; however, there are Airbnb options at similar prices even without meals, so I consider it reasonable overall. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

The Room is equipped with a microwave, making it very convenient. Rooms facing the road may have noise from cars and trucks. The Room is more spacious and comfortable compared to a typical Business Hotel, but it would be more accessible if the price were slightly lower.

Although the building has a charming, old-fashioned feel, it was thoroughly cleaned and we had a comfortable stay. The Onsen is on the lukewarm side, but it truly is a skin-beautifying bath! Being able to bathe 24 hours a day is also very appealing. We stayed with our pet, and the cage provided was a large size and very convenient to use. We’d love to come back again next year.

Conveniently located within easy reach of Ryogoku Station on both the Oedo Line and the Sobu-Chuo Line, with many nearby restaurants and shops for dining and shopping. When entering, there was a system I hadn’t experienced at other hotels, such as face registration, so I was a little unsure at first. However, it wasn’t difficult, and I was able to complete the process smoothly. There was also a way to make inquiries on the spot, so it didn’t seem like there would be any trouble. Upon entering the Room, I was immediately impressed by how spacious it was and by the abundance of greenery. The Facility is well equipped with various modern and convenient features, and the main sauna allows self-service löyly, so you can adjust the temperature to your liking. We bought various foods to bring in, made snacks in the kitchen as well, enjoyed them with the complimentary Prosecco provided as a perk, took turns using each bathtub whenever we liked, and fully enjoyed the sauna—overall offering a high degree of freedom and making our stay extremely satisfying. During this stay, we consulted about adding one more guest than originally planned. The staff explained everything very carefully regarding the system and kindly handled all procedures for adding an additional guest. We truly appreciated their thoughtful support. We were all saying that we would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much for providing such a wonderful stay experience.

The room was very spacious, and I was able to relax. Amenities are minimal; there is no makeup remover, for example. The property is a bit old, but it is well cleaned. There was signage in the elevator indicating where to dispose of trash, so I sorted and threw it away in the morning. It wasn’t too far from the station and was very convenient to use. I would like to stay again.

I had a great-value stay.

The best value in Chichibu—an Onsen is available next door. The sheets are fluffy, and the Facility has been beautifully renovated. The Room is clean, stylish, and a Japanese-Western blend, and each Room is named after a famous author. I stayed in the Junichiro Tanizaki Room. Meals are bring-your-own; you can use the refrigerator and kitchen. Cup noodles and ice cream are also available for purchase. It was extremely comfortable, and I would definitely stay again!!! Check-in and check-out are self-service; the key is kept in a locker at the front desk.

I arrived by motorcycle on a rainy day, and they kindly allowed me to park in front of the entrance where it wouldn’t get wet, which made carrying my luggage much easier. I really appreciated that thoughtful consideration. The guest Room is a bit dated, but it was no different from a typical Route Inn. The Room key was the old-style type, which felt nostalgic. The Room was properly cleaned, and I had a comfortable stay. Since I didn’t want to go out in the rain, I had dinner inside the Hotel and it was delicious. Breakfast was also similar to what I usually have at Route Inn, but it felt like there were more kinds of bread. Whenever I go touring, I enjoy staying at Route Inns in various places. Collecting Route Inn keychains is fun too.

Having an Onsen in the Room was wonderful. I only had breakfast, and it was a Western-style buffet similar to what you’d find at a Business Hotel. I was very satisfied with the value for money. I would like to stay again.

The accommodation was excellent, with a great selection of amenities! The Onsen was also wonderful. What we enjoyed most was definitely the dinner! We had a lovely trip with my partner!

The dinner offered a great variety and was delicious—we were very satisfied. Every dish was excellent. Of course, breakfast was also delicious… The property was clean, and we had a comfortable stay. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed here with a friend couple the night before visiting Kamikochi. The Accommodation has been beautifully renovated and was very comfortable. The bath water was on the lukewarm side, but since it was summer, that worked well. Dinner sukiyaki was a little sweet, but delicious. At 4:00 a.m., a sandwich boxed breakfast had been prepared in the refrigerated locker, which helped us so much. Everywhere in Kamikochi that serves food had long lines, but thanks to the packed meal we could go without worrying about finding something to eat. We really appreciated the sandwiches, yogurt, and bottled tea. It was also great that we could leave our car here and walk to Sawando Bus Terminal. Thank you for taking care of us.

My sister and I stayed here the night before a golf trip, and it was amazing! From the outside it looks like a castle, so we wondered what kind of Hotel it would be, but the Room was spotless, the bath was spacious, and the front desk staff were truly wonderful. The complimentary breakfast was exactly to our taste... It was such a great place that we even promised each other, “Whenever we stay the night before again, we’ll definitely choose here!” We caused trouble by making various mistakes and even getting locked out of our Room, but you handled everything so politely without showing any annoyance—thank you very much. You also helped us with a forgotten item for a separate matter, and we can’t thank you enough. We look forward to staying with you again!

I stayed for two nights and three days on a weekend in November. The location was convenient as it was close to the highway interchange, which made traveling from outside the prefecture easy. It was also a good base for getting around Beppu city and other tourist spots. However, since it is located along the Yamanami Highway, there was heavy traffic on weekend mornings, including some noisy cars and motorcycles, which could be heard in the Room—this slightly offset the convenience of its location. The Room itself was spacious and comfortable for relaxing. It had an attached bath that allowed me to enjoy bathing at any time I liked. The private bath connected an indoor tub with an open-air one, making it quite large for a Room bath, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

The breakfast buffet was abundant and delicious, and since it was extremely hot, I was deeply impressed by the frozen water bottle provided at checkout.

Reasonable price, convenient access, spacious room, and very satisfying. I would love to stay again if I have the chance.

The Facility of the Hotel is slightly outdated, but the service and amenities are excellent. The breakfast, in particular, offers a wide variety of dishes and is highly satisfying.

This charming Ryokan is perfect for a relaxing stay, offering Onsen-equipped rooms where you can unwind all day. Ideal for a Multiple Night Stay, it allows you to fully enjoy the serene atmosphere. The meals are plentiful and satisfying, even for those with smaller appetites like my daughter and me. Complimentary beer and boiled eggs are available at the gazebo, adding to the delightful experience. What truly stands out is the warm hospitality of all staff members, from young male staff to new female staff, making every interaction soothing from check-in onwards. Located within walking distance of Yufuin's Yunotsubo Kaido Street, this Ryokan is highly recommended if you want to explore Yufuin while enjoying exceptional service and comfort.
