Nationwide × Accommodation With Private Hot Spring SourceHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan - 3Page Number

This is the oldest hot spring in the San’in region, and it’s also a natural free-flowing Onsen—an absolute must for an Onsen enthusiast like me (laugh). The building does feel old because of its long history, but that’s part of its charm, and I hope it will continue for many years to come. The meals were a bit too much for me as an older guest; I would have preferred smaller portions with higher quality. The staff were wonderful. Thank you very much.

Despite the long spell of autumn rain, we were blessed with sunshine and were able to relax while taking in the view from our room—blue skies with white clouds, the sea and horizon—and being soothed by the sound of the waves. The hot springs left my skin smooth and moisturized and warmed me through to the core, and the rooftop open-air bath was amazing with beautiful stars overhead. The food was delicious as well. With a focus on local vegetables, fish, and carefully selected ingredients, every homemade dish was wonderful. It even made me ask if you serve lunch too… but you don’t (which is understandable), so that’s a shame. All the more reason to come back! While parts of the building do show their age, it has been renovated beautifully; using single-slab wood pieces and driftwood throughout gave it a retro, calming atmosphere with great attention to detail. In every way, this was an outstanding place to stay. I will definitely return. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for taking such great care of us again. While relaxing in the hot springs and enjoying the rich, flavorful meals, we are impressed every time by the staff’s attentive and thoughtful service. This is our favorite place to stay. We will book again, and we look forward to returning.

I stayed here because I wanted to visit a well-known nearby izakaya, and I was impressed by the stylish, locally inspired interior and tasteful displays—it was a pleasure to look at. Breakfast was homemade, warm, and delicious. Thank you very much.

The Onsen water was silky and very pleasant. The meals were plentiful, well-seasoned, and delicious. I would definitely like to stay at this Accommodation again.

The grounds and building were more spacious than I expected. I was a little concerned about the many stairs to the baths, but this time we had a corner Room with a great view, and it was spacious, quiet, and very relaxing. The baths are simple, but I could soak comfortably, and the open-air bath felt wonderful and soothing. I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for your hospitality.

After a round of golf, I drove about 100 km on the expressway with my group and arrived at the Ryokan. Contrary to the first impression from the exterior, I was surprised by the charming atmosphere the moment I stepped inside. The Room was clean and well maintained, and the Onsen had excellent water quality that left me feeling refreshed. Dinner offered an appropriate number of dishes with well-balanced seasoning, and I was amazed by the boat platter of sashimi. Breakfast was also very delicious, and we left the Ryokan with a great impression—everyone in my group was pleased.

I made a Reservation the day before my stay after reading the reviews. It was No Meals Included, but the service and atmosphere were great—this was a wonderful Hotel just as described. There is parking, and it’s fairly close to the station, so I recommend it. If I have the chance to visit again, I will definitely stay here. To all the staff, thank you for providing such a comfortable space.

Thank you for your thoughtful emails even before our stay. On the day, our flight was suddenly canceled and we had to take the ferry, but you quickly adjusted the rental car arrangements. The food was cooked right in front of us, and both the taste and portions were excellent; the drinks were delicious too. The hot spring water quality was great, and we were able to truly relax in both body and mind. Everything was perfect!

The free-flowing, continuously fed Onsen was wonderfully abundant, and each private bath had a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The cuisine was perfect for wine lovers, with rare wines to match. The interior design—and the lamps placed throughout—were all beautifully chosen. Right in front of the Accommodation, there is a row of cherry trees along the riverbank; I can only imagine how stunning the view must be during cherry blossom season. I won’t wait until then—I will definitely return again soon. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Thank you very much for your hospitality. My spouse and I were able to enjoy the private family bath together many times, and it became a wonderful memory for us. We are truly grateful to everyone at the Accommodation for your warm and dedicated service. We were very concerned to hear about the major earthquake that occurred shortly afterward. We will continue to support you, and we hope to visit again.

I had been on the go since early morning and was completely exhausted, so I truly appreciated the thoughtful care from all the staff. The view from the Room was wonderful as well. The spa also soothed my tired body and was very relaxing. I almost didn’t want to check out. I will definitely stay again. Thank you very much.

The staff were very kind and attentive. Both the room and the facilities were clean, making for a very comfortable stay. I also enjoyed relaxing in peace at the bath and the restaurant. I slept very well! I really looked forward to enjoying fresh seafood that you can’t experience in Tokyo. There are various dining plans available, so I’m excited to try different options.

I was able to visit again for the first time in 20 years. From the warm welcome onward, the hospitality was outstanding. The food was just as delicious as ever, and I truly hope this authentic Japanese hospitality will continue for many years to come. I would love to visit again soon. Thank you for such a wonderful and happy time.

We were very satisfied. The in-room hot spring bath was so spacious it felt almost too luxurious for one person. After dinner, we used the large public bath and were able to relax and enjoy a comfortable time. Dinner was teppanyaki, and not only was the food delicious, but the chef’s conversation and performance made it truly enjoyable—we were completely satisfied. Breakfast was also delicious. All of the staff were very kind, and we had a wonderful two-day stay. Thank you very much.

Top-rated in every aspect that defines a Ryokan—Onsen, dining, comfort, and views. Truly one of the very best Ryokan in Kyushu. Next time, I’d like to stay for two nights.

An auberge in Ise-Shima. Both the facilities and pricing are casual, but the dining is exceptionally satisfying. Accommodation and meals here are often expensive, but this place is a great value at around JPY 20,000 per person for one night with two meals. The restaurant has high ceilings and large glass windows, creating a bright, open atmosphere. At night the lighting is slightly subdued, making the ambience even better. As expected in Ise-Shima—known as “Miketsukuni,” the land of fine food—plenty of local ingredients are used. We thoroughly enjoyed abalone, Kumano beef, and spiny lobster and were very satisfied. The cuisine feels like creative fusion combining Japanese and Western styles. The presentation was as delicious to look at as it was to eat. In particular, the pairing of tender, fragrant eel with springy abalone—accented by sansho pepper—was outstanding and truly unique to Ise-Shima. Shima conger eel (hamo) and grilled eggplant with doburoku miso and ginger sauce Wild softshell turtle Japanese medicinal soup Local fish salad-style dish Abalone and eel grilled with sansho pepper; kinome miso and sansho olive oil Charcoal-grilled Mikumano beef with tomato-and-shiso condiment Corn rice; miso soup with spiny lobster broth Pistachio mousse and mango sorbet

It was a relief to see the people who had taken care of me before. Set on a quiet hill with great views, the staff were all cheerful and courteous, the Room was clean, the Onsen was relaxing, and the full-course meal was delicious—more than enough to be fully satisfied. Unfortunately it was raining when I left, but at checkout they lent me an umbrella and told me to take it home, which really helped. This is an Accommodation I would like to stay at again.

Not only the building itself, but also the hanging scrolls and other details in the Room were wonderful, allowing us to spend a relaxing time while appreciating art and culture. As we stayed on a weekday, I mentioned at check-in that I was interested in the building, and the Accommodation staff kindly showed us several of Meijikan’s highlight Rooms. My parents and I were very satisfied. Thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. The in-room dining was also excellent, including freshly cooked white rice prepared right in front of us and abalone with a tender bite. We will visit again.

The Onsen with a view of Mt. Yufu from the Suo guest room is amazing, and we stay here every year. They welcome large dogs, and the service, meals, Onsen, and dog run are all excellent—this is an Accommodation where you can truly enjoy an escape from everyday life. We’ve stayed at most pet-friendly Accommodations in Oita, and this one is the best! One request: It would be perfect if we could sleep together with our pet.
