We stay here every year during the Obon holidays. The atmosphere is calm, and everything is thoroughly cleaned, so it feels like coming back home (to my parents’ house). It’s truly relaxing. Thank you again for this year as well. We were able to do everything we had planned, right on schedule. There are popular roadside stations and beaches nearby, so the area gets crowded at this time of year, but Mihama House and its surroundings are very quiet and soothing. We could really unwind from the bottom of our hearts. We look forward to staying again next year.

This was our first time staying in a private rental, and it became a trip where we could truly feel the owner’s kind personality from the warm welcome. It’s unbelievable at other Accommodations that when staying with five people and a dog, the fifth person is free. The Room was clean, and both our family and our dog were able to stay comfortably. When we arrived, there was apple pie and watermelon prepared in the refrigerator—thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. Mona, the resident dog—she was so adorable. It turned into a fun family trip where we could really relax. Thank you very much.

Stayed here while doing the Lake Biwa cycling loop by road bike. Two nights in a mini cottage with breakfast included for 4,800 yen. Limited-time deal? I couldn’t believe it was during summer vacation—so cheap I was worried, but everything was well taken care of down to the details and it was excellent. The bath (5 tubs), showers (4), and toilets (4 or more) are shared, as is the fridge/freezer. Breakfast is available from 6:00 a.m., with rice refills (self-serve) and a plate of nine side dishes plus natto and miso soup. You can also help yourself to furikake, tea, coffee, and more. The Room has heating/air conditioning, a TV, and free Wi‑Fi. If I had to nitpick, the bed is on the small side and there’s no mattress pad. For the price, it was outstanding.

This was my first visit. From the courteous phone call before our stay, to the warm welcome on arrival, the quiet and spotless Room where we could truly relax, the many dishes filled with nothing but delicious flavors, and the Onsen at just the right temperature that made us want to soak forever… It was truly a blissful time. Even if you’d like to go but aren’t sure about chicken tataki, they will change it in advance by phone to other Oita specialties such as toriten (chicken tempura). It’s a wonderful Accommodation where you can fully feel the warmth of the owner and staff while they maintain a comfortable sense of distance, so I highly recommend staying here if you want to unwind. Since we live far away it’s not easy to visit often, but whenever we travel to Kyushu we will definitely stop by again. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

We stayed for one night from March 19. It was an Accommodation that truly lived up to its high-rated Reviews. The Room was a bit compact, but it had a spacious wood-deck balcony, was thoroughly cleaned, and felt very fresh and relaxing. They also provided a waterproof sheet for our dog, so the bedding was OK. We followed proper etiquette and used a diaper, so we were able to sleep together comfortably. Dinner was BBQ on the large wood deck (honestly like yakiniku from an upscale restaurant). We really enjoyed the wagyu that the owner personally cuts—absolutely delicious. There were also lean wagyu and chicken tenderloin for dogs, and our dog happily ate it all. Vegetables, soup, rice balls, etc. were included as a set, and there are plenty of optional menu items as well. The Onsen can be reserved privately in 1-hour time slots (Reservation required), so you can soak slowly and unwind. From 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM it becomes open access—if it’s available you can use it (all private Onsen use is free). They even have a bathtub for dogs, so your dog can enjoy the Onsen too!! There is of course a dog run, and since this Accommodation hosts only three groups total, we could enjoy it at our own pace. Breakfast was a handmade burger—also outstanding. Options like extra patty or cheese are available! It seems you can also switch to a hot sandwich. Yogurt, onion soup, salad, and your choice of drink were included as well—we were very satisfied. This Accommodation hosts only three groups per day (Sunny), so we could relax fully and enjoy the Onsen—and since our dog isn’t great with other dogs sometimes, it was perfect that everything could be done mostly within our Room area. It was very reasonably priced: delicious meals, wonderful Onsen time, and the best part—being able to stay with our dog all the time. To the owner couple, their adorable son, and Sunny the resident dog—thank you for such a fun and fulfilling trip!! We’ve already made our next Reservation too; I’ll work hard until then while looking forward to coming back.

We stayed here as a family for our climb of the Three Mountains of Dewa. The vegetarian meals served in the morning and evening were carefully prepared, with each dish being incredibly delicious. Our entire family kept saying how amazing everything tasted! We were also deeply grateful to participate in the morning prayer service. Afterward, we had the opportunity to hear about the history of this accommodation from a Yamabushi monk, which was truly enlightening. On the first day, we climbed Mount Haguro and stayed at Daishinbo Accommodation. On the second day, we visited Mount Gassan and Mount Yudono while reflecting on what we learned from the Yamabushi monk. It was an extraordinary experience filled with luxury and meaning. We are so glad we came here—highly recommended!

Both dinner and breakfast included warm dishes, and everything was very delicious. The portions were generous. We could use the bath as a private reservation, which made us feel at ease. The Room was clean and comfortable with no issues. There are no amenities provided, so bringing your own towels, bath towels, and toothbrush is essential. I would like to stay again.

This was a wonderful Accommodation, and the warm hospitality of the owner couple was truly unforgettable. The room was very spacious and spotless, and I really appreciated having a refrigerator in the room. The bath amenities were from a brand I’d been wanting to try, which made me very happy. Every meal was high quality—especially the dinner main course and the breakfast bread, both of which were absolutely delicious. Including the Shuttle Service from the station, they kindly listened to our requests and responded flexibly to our transportation needs throughout our stay, for which we are truly grateful. This is a fantastic pension where you can feel the owners’ warmth and genuine hospitality in every detail. I would definitely love to stay again!

The Room was stylish and made me feel a bit like a celebrity. There were several bathing options—a private bath in the Room, an open-air bath in the guest Room, and a reservable private open-air bath—and all of them were exceptionally comfortable. The food and drinks were incredibly delicious, making it a wonderful, fun experience and an absolutely happy feast.

All the staff were kind and pleasant. Every dish was delicious, and we were very satisfied. The international staff were all cheerful and greeted us with warm smiles, making our stay very comfortable. Thank you very much.

I stayed here with my 3-year-old son, my husband, and my parents! The Room was thoroughly cleaned down to every detail, and we had a very comfortable stay. The food was brought out freshly made, and the variety, taste, and presentation were all perfect—we were truly impressed!! Everyone at the Accommodation was very kind, and I was happy to chat with you so much! Also, I’m truly sorry for the trouble we caused right at the very end... We’ll definitely be back again next year!!!

This was our second overnight trip with our dog, and our first time staying at an Accommodation with a dog run. The goal of this trip was to find a way to travel without putting any strain on our dog, and I feel we found one answer here. It was a very satisfying experience. Our dog tends to hold in pee and poop when we travel, but here, being able to touch the pleasant grass at all times helped him relieve himself as he normally does at home. He’s also a timid dog who tends to keep his distance from strangers and other dogs, but the calm nature of the owner and Rani-chan and the others really helped him relax. In addition to how well maintained the lawn felt, we could sense thoughtful consideration for dogs in many details—such as the sliding entrance door, ramps, cute bowls, and even a night-time dog run. For us humans as well, the Room was just the right size, and we found everything very comfortable—the service during meals (we really appreciated being able to use the dining area), and how dishes were served quietly and considerately. One very small suggestion: it might be nice if there were a hook near the entrance for locking up keys. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

I had previously visited for a day trip to the Onsen and loved both the Onsen and the scenery, so I decided to stay overnight. The meals were excellent, the view from the Room was wonderful, and my stay was very comfortable. Unfortunately, the outdoor bath in the morning was so cold that it hardly felt like an Onsen.\n\nAs it is currently off-season, there was no shuttle bus on weekdays, which made things difficult. Even one round-trip Shuttle Service would be very helpful.

The meals were excellent. The sea bream sashimi, carpaccio, simmered dishes, tempura, and sea bream rice were all incredibly delicious. I never knew sea bream could taste this good. It was also delightful to be served piping hot dishes. Highly recommended!

Although it was a nearby trip, it was my first time traveling with my parents since becoming an adult. Unfortunately, a typhoon the day before forced us to change various plans, but we truly enjoyed the many colorful dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. My elderly parents, who usually eat small portions, kept saying they couldn’t possibly eat that much, yet they finished almost everything. The Room was compact but clean and comfortable. The staff were also very pleasant, and we had a relaxing short getaway. After such a generous dinner, we were told there would even be inari sushi as a late-night snack. We couldn’t resist and asked for some—and it was delicious. Even while saying we were already full, we ended up eating it all (laugh). One thing: until around 3 a.m., I noticed a low sound—possibly from the boiler?—that echoed and made it hard to sleep for a bit. Since it was only one night, it wasn’t too much of an issue.

Next door is Sabakoyu, and across the street is the historic Nakamura Ryokan. At night, we enjoyed an in-room meal, then were moved by the owner’s shamisen performance and kouta songs. In the morning, the sunrise glowed through the shoji screens; when we opened them, we found a perfect location. The steam rising from the ohitsu rice at breakfast whetted our appetite even more. We were seen off by the proprietress and owner—hospitality that makes us certain to return.

Simply the best. The Onsen, cuisine, atmosphere, and service—everything was outstanding. Above all, the hospitality from the staff was truly exceptional, and I felt comfortable from arrival to departure. Soaking in the Onsen in the quiet mountains and enjoying delicious food. It was a luxurious time like no other. I will definitely come again. Next time, I’d like a Multiple Night Stay.

The property has been beautifully renovated, and we had a very comfortable stay.

We stayed for two nights in mid-October with three generations of our family and our beloved dog, and we had a very comfortable stay in the spacious room. The cleanliness was exceptional, making it hard to believe it was a pet-friendly accommodation. The large living room and kitchen allowed us to enjoy cooking together as a family. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of cookware and tableware, so we had everything we needed. (We bought ingredients for dinner at a nearby supermarket.) The separate toilet and bathroom made it convenient for everyone to use without any hassle. It was also helpful that basic dog supplies like a cage and pet sheets were provided. Although pets were not allowed in the bedrooms, our dog relaxed comfortably in the living area. The location right in front of the slopes (Happo-One Ski Resort) was perfect for walking our dog, especially during early morning strolls which were incredibly refreshing. It was also easy to drive to Kurobishi-daira, where we enjoyed stunning autumn foliage—this year seemed to be an excellent year for fall colors! We would love to visit again during summer when the greenery is lush. Traveling with three generations of family members—and especially with a pet—can make choosing accommodations challenging, but this place exceeded all expectations. It's highly recommended for families traveling with small children (grandchildren), as you can relax comfortably in your room while enjoying quality time together!

You can walk to Kirishima Shrine, and Takachiho Farm is just a short drive away. The Onsen was almost too hot, but I was able to cool it down with water before getting in. The bath was bright and open, which felt wonderful. Since my plans were not set, I chose breakfast only, and I really appreciated having a delicious, nutritious meal in the morning. The price was very reasonable, and I could relax in a spacious Room.
