Ibusuki Shusuien

My long-awaited trip to Ibusuki finally came true, and I had the pleasure of staying at Ibusuki Shusuien.Everything was outstanding: the warm and attentive service from the staff, the historic atmosphere of this long-established Ryokan, spotless guest rooms, free-flowing Onsen straight from the source, and delicious meals. (I’ve stayed at a few Hotels on my limited travels, but this became an unforgettable Ryokan for me.)It was so wonderful that I honestly wondered if someone as young as me deserved to stay at such a great Ryokan.My only regret is that I felt unwell during my stay and couldn’t finish my meal. (I truly feel terrible about it...) Please let me make up for it when I stay again...!I’m still savoring the afterglow of what was, even understatedly, an incredible stay—and I feel like other Hotels might pale in comparison (lol).It was truly a luxurious time.If you ever visit Ibusuki, please do yourself a favor and stay here.I’ll say it again: it’s amazing!

This Accommodation is located just a short walk from the Ibusuki Sand Bath Hall. It was very convenient, and we were even able to borrow towels at the property when going to the sand bath, which made it easy to fully enjoy the experience. The traditional Japanese-style Ryokan is simply stunning, from the furnishings to every corner of the building. Each staff member’s hospitality was exceptional, and I couldn’t believe such a wonderful place could be so reasonably priced. The property also offers a footbath, foot sand bath, and a lounge, so even with bad weather we were able to relax comfortably indoors. The meals were all delicious, and although we stayed only one night, we had a truly restful time. It’s an outstanding Accommodation, and I would love to stay again.
