마키노토 고개 주변 × 석양이 인기 있는 숙소만족도 평가가 높은 호텔·료칸

Having a free-flowing natural Onsen in the Room that you can enjoy 24 hours a day is truly luxurious. The night we stayed, we experienced torrential rain and thunder for the first time and felt the power of the Aso mountains, yet even then we could hear bush warblers singing. It was a trip where we fully enjoyed nature. The hosts were wonderful people, and I understand why this Accommodation is so hard to book. Breakfast was generous, and above all, every dish was delicious—another highlight of our stay. We would love to stay again if we have the chance.

I debated for a long time whether to write a Review, but I decided to do so. The food was excellent, and I was satisfied with the bath. However, there were several shortcomings in how my comments entered at the time of Reservation via IKYU were handled, which left me disappointed.

I stayed here again for the first time in 15 years. When staying in Kuju, this Accommodation is definitely the right choice. I was satisfied with everything—the views, the open-air bath, the service, and the meals. One small thing: the faucet at the Room sink was a bit too short and slightly inconvenient to use (haha). I made wonderful memories.

I’ve stayed at many Accommodations, but both the baths and the meals felt like a completely new experience. The French & Italian cuisine was excellent, and I enjoyed visiting different baths. At Tenku-no-Yu, I could even hear the Onsen water gushing up naturally, which was truly impressive. On the way home, I parked at a free parking lot about 3 minutes downhill from the Accommodation by car and took a walk through an area where intense steam vents and residential homes coexist, fully enjoying the Waita Onsen area. I’d love to stay again.

All the staff greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel very welcome, so we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. The meals were gently seasoned to bring out the quality of the ingredients, and everything—from the presentation and service to the location—was wonderful; we were truly impressed. The in-room bath was quite hot at first, but as we had been advised, we added cold water and adjusted it to our liking. The spring quality was excellent—I soaked four times. However, the bedroom had only a mattress laid directly on a wooden floor at the bottom of the stairs; tatami would have been fine, but with wooden flooring, a raised bed frame would have been more comfortable. Overall, we were extremely satisfied, and it has become our favorite Accommodation—we definitely want to return in another season.
