Around Aoi Aso Shrine × Accommodation For Enjoying Walks In The Onsen TownHighly rated for dining at Hotel·Ryokan

I stayed with my mother. The view of the Kuma River from the Room was wonderful, and we spent some time just enjoying it. We thoroughly enjoyed the ayu sashimi, salt-grilled ayu, and other dishes. Everything was delicious. It was also my first time trying dried-and-grilled ayu at breakfast. Along with the Ryokan itself, the baths had a sense of history, and the quality of the hot spring water was excellent. Next time, I hope to visit with my wife and children as well. Thank you very much for your hospitality. I imagine there may be impacts from the earthquake (such as cancellations), but I wish all of your staff good health and all the best.

We stayed in a Japanese-Western style room for three people. The exterior and shared areas were very clean, but there were a few disappointing points. First, there was no ceiling light in the Western-style room. Perhaps because it is a bedroom, but two of the three guests were elderly this time. A bed is not used only for sleeping. Since it can be difficult to stand up from sitting on tatami, we wanted to sit on the bed to chat or watch TV if there was no sofa, but it felt too dim. Another point—also from the perspective of elderly guests—was that the steamed rice seemed hard. The location right in front of the Kuma River was excellent, and the staff were wonderful, so overall we would say we were mostly satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality.

It was a captivating experience, with the Ryokan’s dignified traditional Japanese architecture and its beautiful strolling garden that lets you feel the changing seasons. The historical stories passed down at Yoshino Ryokan were truly fascinating, and I have deep respect for the way it overcame the hardship of the major flood disaster in 2020 and was rebuilt with strength. This time I chose a Plan without dinner, but the Japanese breakfast provided was high quality, and the carefully prepared dishes gave me energy from the morning. The large public bath is small, but quiet and comfortable, allowing me to relax and soothe my fatigue. The warm and kind hospitality of the proprietress and all staff left a strong impression. In a calm atmosphere that has not been overly commercialized for tourism, this is a rare, authentic Ryokan that preserves the charm of good old Japan. With such wonderful offerings, it also delivers excellent value for money—I was truly satisfied. I would love to visit again in another season to enjoy this beautiful garden.

This was our first stay at Ayunosato. I had been interested in this Accommodation for a long time, but never had the chance until this visit. In conclusion, it was a far better Accommodation than I expected. I also liked that free drinks were available. As it is an Accommodation by the river, we were able to fully enjoy the view from the terrace. I have a big appetite, so it would have been perfect if there had been an à la carte menu, but I was still satisfied with what was offered. The lobby’s design and atmosphere were great, and the staff were kind and attentive, which we really appreciated. We were able to relax in the open-air bath in our Room, and I was impressed that the washing area even had heated flooring. Since there were two of us this time, we could stay in a spacious Room and enjoy it to the fullest. It’s also worth noting that it’s close to the expressway with very little driving required.

This was my first time staying here. Although I won’t go into details, there was a difference from what I had reserved, which initially left me confused. However, the staff responded quickly, and I was able to enjoy a comfortable stay. I feel it’s rare to find a Hotel that provides such pleasant service these days. If I have the opportunity, I would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

The location is easy to find and the parking lot is easy to park in. There are set hours when staff are present, but there is a proper explanation and emergency measures are also listed. The building is old, but it is clean, and the service is very polite and pleasant. The hairdryer was a bit difficult to turn on, and there were many remote controls, so it would be nice to have a little explanation. There is also a microwave, ABEMA, manga, and DVDs, and the Onsen that was recommended was great! There was a sign saying "With sincerity," and it really comes across. I think I will be using your services again.
