รีวิวและความประทับใจจากผู้เข้าพักที่ Ishiyama Rikyuu Gosoku no Kutsu

Improvements!

I had always wanted to stay here, but when I checked the availability before, it was fully booked. This autumn, I decided to visit Amakusa again and was able to make a Reservation. Having visited Kami-Amakusa several times before, this time I chose a part of Amakusa I hadn't been to and looked forward to staying at this Accommodation. Upon arrival, it was unclear where the entrance was. When I asked someone who seemed like staff (though even that wasn't clear), their response was unhelpful—just saying something vague about going up. After navigating steep slopes and wrong turns multiple times, we finally arrived. The person greeting us seemed unenthusiastic or even unfriendly. The sunset view from the Room was nonexistent; although they recommended the terrace for viewing, it would have been better to go down below for a better view. Dinner felt comparable to what you'd get at an average Ryokan—not worth the price paid for this Accommodation. The bath in our Room had a Western-style design but was difficult to use; adjusting water temperature wasn’t easy either. The outdoor shower turned out much more convenient in comparison. The open-air bath itself was nice but surrounded by forest scenery—I'll leave that image up to your imagination. There were other issues too: the wooden shelf housing the fridge seemed misaligned and remained so throughout our two-night stay; even small details like crookedly placed information sheets went unnoticed by cleaning staff. It gave an impression of understaffing with possibly one person handling both serving meals and cleaning duties. For such high costs, this place didn’t feel worth revisiting anytime soon. Even interactions with someone who appeared likely as an owner upon returning from outings left much room for improvement. Perhaps it's time for significant renovations? Details like poorly hung blinds in elevator corridors or exposed outdoor units could be addressed—for instance by blending them into natural surroundings using wood enclosures fitting its forest setting aesthetic better! If substantial investments were made during construction initially then please re-evaluate everything thoroughly from guests' perspectives again! If Michelin recognition has been achieved previously strive towards regaining such standards once more because visitors invest both money & effort traveling here hoping they'd want returning someday inspired positively instead! Amakusa sunsets are stunningly beautiful though—it might’ve changed things slightly if visible directly via Rooms themselves (now understanding why vacancies remain plentiful).
