Nationwide × Day-Use Accommodation With Free-Flowing Natural OnsenHighly rated Hotel·Ryokan - 13Page Number

This was my first stay, and the front desk staff were very helpful. I also received a sheet with a map of nearby restaurants. The large public bath was great as well. If you leave your key, etc. at the 5th-floor public bath reception by 21:30, you can enter. It seems to close at 22:00. There were various baths, and the open-air bath on the 6th floor (rooftop) was excellent! However, since the shampoo and conditioner are commercial-grade amenities, the quality isn’t very good, so bringing your own shampoo is recommended. The Room was a single, but I felt the lighting wasn’t bright enough. Otherwise, it’s typical business-hotel quality. Because the open-air bath was so good, I rated it highly.

I was looking for a private-feeling Onsen Accommodation that I could visit on a day trip during Golden Week, and it exceeded my expectations with its luxurious atmosphere—I had a wonderful time. Since I was there, I also stayed for dinner, and it was surprisingly outstanding. I’d love to visit again.

I’ve stayed here many times. The staff always greet me with “Welcome back!” which makes it incredibly comfortable. Above all, the Onsen is outstanding. This time, one of the four private family baths was set to a lukewarm temperature, which was perfect for soaking longer even during this extreme heat! If possible, I’d be happy if you could make two of them like that. The food is delicious, the staff are very friendly, and the Onsen is wonderful—this is my absolute favorite Ryokan!

The staff’s heartfelt hospitality. An Onsen that hot-spring lovers can’t resist (the water seems highly therapeutic, but you can’t stay in too long—so even during Golden Week, I was able to enjoy it almost privately). Above all, the food was incredibly delicious—wonderful dishes that felt nourishing and full of nature’s blessings! I’d love to come back just to eat those amazing soba noodles again. (I can’t forget how delicious the warm dipping broth with rich chicken stock was.)

Due to a typhoon, I had to change my pre-hike accommodation at short notice, and I’m glad I stayed here—the Onsen was wonderful, and I was able to rest well for the hike the next day. They also let me bathe after the hike, which was fantastic! If I have the chance, I’d love to stay again.

It looked just like the photos, but seeing it in person, the Room exceeded my expectations, and the IKEA-furnished interior was wonderful!! I also loved that the indoor bath was hotter while the open-air bath was cooler—the open-air bath felt so relaxing, as if it blended into nature. It was such a comfortable stay from start to finish that one night felt like a waste!! Next time I come to Kumamoto, I’d love to stay in this Room for two nights or more!! Thank you very much for such a lovely Accommodation!!

We stayed here for the first time for his birthday! The unattended check-in was smooth and easy. The Room was on the second floor—up the stairs—and it was there! It was clean and spacious, just like in the photos! He was happy too. Thank you very much.

I had the pleasure of enjoying a traditional Japanese-style Ryokan after a long time! Although it was a traditional Japanese-style Ryokan, the cuisine served was Italian, and every dish was absolutely delicious! As it is an exclusive-use accommodation, you can enjoy the bath at your leisure anytime, and the quality of the hot spring water was exceptional. The hostess was charming, and the chef accommodated our needs flexibly, making our stay incredibly pleasant. I will definitely visit again!

The Room was very clean, and it was extremely comfortable with a Kirigamine air conditioner and an air purifier. Also, you can use the Onsen on the adjacent property as many times as you like by showing your Room key, so this Accommodation is recommended for those who love Onsen. The water is clear and leaves your skin feeling moisturized. Thank you very much for your hospitality during our stay.

I have stayed here more than 10 times since it opened. I’m happy that the Room has an Onsen. The large public bath is nice too, but being able to soak in my own private Onsen is the best. The meals seem to change over time, perhaps because the chef changes, but this time was the best so far. Breakfast had changed to something like a bento served in a basket. It used to have more items and more dishes, but I can’t eat that much in the morning anyway, so maybe this is what they settled on. This time I was glad to stay at a lower price thanks to the “Kagoshima Discount.” All of the staff are kind, and since there aren’t many Rooms, the whole Hotel feels relaxed and unhurried. Because the building is covered in hinoki wood, the Room has a pleasant fragrance that feels soothing and calming. I will stay again.

We found Kami Yuland while looking for a place that allows large dogs. We brought various supplies for our dog, but everything we needed was already provided. All you need to bring is food and treats—everything else is taken care of. It was our first trip with a dog, so we were a bit worried, but since it’s a cottage-style stay, we were able to relax. We took walks in the snow, and there were also marked courses for trekking in the surrounding mountains. We were told we could use the Onsen as many times as we liked during the available hours. Before entering the Onsen area, there were displays of pottery and paintings, and it seems you can also try hands-on activities. We arrived a little early, and when we entered the room, the air conditioner and heater had already been turned on—it was warm inside, and we were truly impressed by their thoughtfulness. Since this was a no-meals Plan, we bought food at a nearby supermarket and brought it in. Dishes and even pots are all provided. The staff were very pleasant and explained everything carefully. We definitely want to stay again next time. Thank you very much. Our dog is one Akita (25 kg). (Up to 3 dogs per cottage; total combined weight up to 30 kg.)

I think this accommodation offers various enjoyable activities for families with children, as there are hot springs, a pool, a garden, and a restaurant nearby. This time, we stayed with our one-year-old child, and since we had a corner room with limited rooms available, we could stay comfortably without any worries. In the dining room, they provided a high chair for our child, and since it was our first stay, they guided us to the nearby hot springs. However, since we were with a toddler this time, we couldn't use Yakushi no Yu, so we plan to use it next time.

We stayed here as a family. There are Rooms on the second floor as well, and each family member found their favorite spot and spent time in their own way. I wished the beds were a bit firmer, but the Onsen left our skin feeling smooth, and the free-flowing natural hot spring water was amazing! Surrounded by the Onsen and nature, it was a place that brought smiles to our whole family. We’d love to stay again if we have the chance.

I stayed with a friend's family. Despite having small and noisy children, the staff warmly welcomed us, which we greatly appreciated. The onsen was incredibly relaxing. The breakfast was also very delicious. We stayed in a large room for two groups, and it was spacious and fantastic. Having two restrooms in the room was also convenient. Thank you for taking care of us!

The meals were full of surprises. The seafood selection was outstanding and incredibly delicious. Breakfast was particularly memorable as it included sushi, which was a first for me. It featured luxurious items like fatty tuna, sea urchin, scallops, and angel shrimp—exceptional for a morning meal. The simmered tuna head was also delightful. The baths were all private with no time limits, allowing us to fully enjoy the Onsen experience. This is an Onsen accommodation worth revisiting!

The last time I visited Matsurube was right after the 2008 Iwate–Miyagi Nairiku Earthquake, which triggered a massive landslide and caused the collapse of the Matsurube Ohashi Bridge. This time, it was my first return in 20 years. While traces of the past remain, it has been reborn as a small yet elegant Accommodation. It takes only about 10–20 seconds on foot from the Room to the large public bath. With just seven guest rooms in total, once day-use bathers leave in the evening, the large public bath feels almost like a private bath reserved just for you—an incredibly luxurious setup. Passing through a lovely drink bar, we head to the restaurant. It is described as “French cuisine,” but even after looking over the menu, I couldn’t quite imagine what each dish would be like. When I think of French food, classics such as foie gras, truffles, and rich butter sauces come to mind—delicious, but sometimes heavy. So what kind of French cuisine would this be? I had high expectations. But what was served far exceeded them. Each plate features two or more main ingredients—and both are ingredients that evoke a sense of place, with different flavor profiles and textures. The moment they overlap on your palate, an exquisite marriage is born. Even more interesting is that one of those two leading ingredients is always a vegetable. Vegetables are not mere supporting players here; they stand proudly as true protagonists, creating an impression reminiscent of kaiseki cuisine as well. I found myself thinking: “Japanese-French” is indeed a perfect name for it. For wine, I chose a Côtes du Rhône white made with Grenache Blanc; its dry richness and fruitiness paired beautifully with the food. I’ve had my share of French cuisine both in Japan and abroad, but I may never have been moved quite like this before. It never felt heavy; instead, subtle hidden accents throughout created deep lingering finishes. It was truly outstanding. I’m told that when the seasons change, the menu will be completely renewed as well. That means I’ll have to come back again—one more thing to look forward to. One final request: As people who want to start with “a beer for now” as soon as we arrive at an Accommodation, we’d be even happier if getting access to beer were just a little easier. Please consider it.

From the very first welcome, to the softness of the bath water, to how delicious and generous the meals were—everything was wonderful. The portions may have been a bit too much; I’m sorry I couldn’t finish everything and ended up leaving some. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, which was great. There is also a matchmaking shrine in the mountain behind the property, and it was refreshing to visit in the morning. I would definitely like to come again.

Since it was a meal on the mountain, I honestly didn’t have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. The food and the service were both excellent. It was a shame the weather was cloudy, but we were more than satisfied nonetheless. I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you very much.

Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious, and we were very satisfied!! The baths are divided into a large public bath and a natural hot spring bath; both were very relaxing, and the kids loved them. We’d love to visit again if we have the chance!

During this Go To Travel campaign, I stayed at about 13 properties, and the meals here were the best—just as you’d expect from a kaiseki Ryokan. Everyone should visit at least once.
