Eichi Station × Accommodation With Private Hot Spring SourceHighly rated facilities at Hotel·Ryokan

I was able to spend a truly luxurious time surrounded by peaceful, lush greenery. The hospitality was outstanding. The Room and the meals—everything exceeded my expectations. I’d love to visit again in a different season.

The Onsen was excellent. The staff were very kind, and I had a comfortable stay. In the private bath, I couldn’t find the power outlet for the hair dryer, which was a bit disappointing. I will visit again. I’ve found a favorite Accommodation.

I stay here frequently. I always feel relaxed thanks to the hospitality, meals, Room, and Onsen. The meals are very delicious—so much so that I end up overeating. The Room is also great: it’s comfortable for working and comes with an Onsen, making it perfect for a refreshing break. I will definitely stay again.

We stayed in a detached annex. The website said “indoor bath type,” and there were no photos, so we expected a regular bath—but it pleasantly exceeded our expectations. I really think you should post photos of that bath on the website! We originally planned to use the open-air bath, but ended up using the in-room bath the whole time (lol). Also, I believe it was fully booked, yet while we were in our Room we couldn’t hear any voices or noise from other guests at all. You can definitely feel its age, but as a Ryokan it had everything we were looking for. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and very generous in portion size. In particular, I made a Reservation for the half steamed chicken at dinner and it was quite an experience (in a good way). From the website photos I (wrongly) imagined a bone-in thigh, but it truly was “half.” It was very tasty, but you’ll need to save room in your stomach (especially women). When we asked, they even prepared the leftover steamed chicken so we could eat it in our Room! All staff members were wonderful—everyone was pleasant and welcoming. This quiet mountain Ryokan fulfilled everything I wanted: simply enjoying the Onsen and great food. Thank you very much.

Six of us (all men) stayed here. We were very satisfied with the Onsen. The staff were also very helpful and pleasant. When we made the Reservation, we worried there might not be enough food, but we were fully satisfied. However, there are no convenience stores nearby, so if you want to drink in your Room, it’s best to buy what you need on the way (there is a refrigerator). Also, since the only smoking area is in one corner by the main entrance, it would have been nice to have one near the emergency exits on each floor as well.

Oguni Auberge Waita-kan The Onsen was amazing, and the game cuisine was delicious. We’ll be back!

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.

This was our first stay as a couple. The building shows its age, but it has been beautifully renovated and kept very clean. On the day of our stay, there was one indoor bath, one open-air bath, and two private baths. After dinner we used a private bath, and the next morning we enjoyed the open-air bath. The water temperature seems to be adjusted by adding cold water; for me it felt a bit hot at first but quickly became just right and very relaxing. The food was excellent—everything was delicious, including salt-grilled yamame trout and wild herb chips—and after returning home I had gained 1 kg. We were worried about ferry service due to the typhoon, but there were no issues. At night, looking up at the sky felt so close, and Orion shone beautifully—it was truly moving. We would love to visit again.

This was my third stay. In the super-hot sauna for 5 minutes, the freezing cold mineral spring for 5 minutes, then a 5-minute rest. Doing this for 3–5 sets feels amazing. After that, I enjoyed a delicious dinner and slept soundly. The next morning, I had breakfast and did the sauna, mineral spring, and rest again—perfectly refreshed. It was fantastic. The Accommodation had a strong retro Showa-era vibe. Don’t forget a thick sauna hat!

Everyone was thrilled by the building and the Facility the moment we arrived. After a while, we looked around at what was in the Room, and once we had settled in, we headed to the open-air bath. The open-air bath building also had a sauna and a water server—absolutely fantastic. If I had to say one thing, it would have been even better if there were chairs where you could sit down for a moment after bathing. We didn’t realize until late afternoon the next day that amenities such as towels must be replenished by the day before, which was hard to understand. It’s also inconvenient that everyone’s address and phone number are required for check-in.

Dinner was very satisfying, featuring unique and delicious creative dishes and other tasty items made with local ingredients such as Oita beef. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view from the open-air bath that felt very relaxing.

This was our fourth stay. From the manager to every staff member, everyone is so warm and welcoming that it always makes us want to come back again and again. And above all, the Onsen is outstanding—once you experience its silky-smooth water, you’ll never forget it. I had really wanted to bring my parents here, so I’m very happy we were able to visit together this time. Thank you again for the delicious meals and heartfelt hospitality.

Although the Accommodation is run by a small team, thank you for providing more than adequate hospitality. I was surprised to see a Nepalese staff member offering heartfelt, Japanese-style service. I’m not sure whether it comes down to personal skill or thorough training, but seeing how they supported the other international staff made me feel their ability is exceptional. The service side is already very strong, so if you continue making consistent investments in your Facility, I believe you will also help boost the overall appeal of Amagase Onsen. If I have another opportunity, I would be happy to stay in Ukiha again.

Easily accessible from Makinoto Pass, this is a great hotel with both meals and an onsen. Dinner offers a wide variety of dishes that will leave you full. Breakfast is also delicious. The onsen includes family baths with open-air options as well as indoor baths, providing a wonderful experience. While the building and rooms may show some age, it is still a highly recommended accommodation.

I felt completely relaxed. If the private family bath was available, I could use it, so when I wanted to warm up a bit before bed, I went there. In the open-air bath, all I could hear was the sound of the stream, water falling from above, and the calls of frogs—it was incredibly quiet. I soaked absentmindedly for about an hour, then ate when I got hungry. During my Multiple Night Stay, both breakfast and dinner had different menus each day, and everything—including the rice and water—was delicious, so I ate too much. I came by bus instead of renting a car; the bus stop is right in front of the property. There are also places within walking distance in Bungo-Mori, such as a roundhouse museum, so I enjoyed sightseeing as well. I’d love to visit again. The proprietress’s thoughtful hospitality was wonderful—I truly felt at ease. Thank you very much.
