ฮิตะออนเซ็น · อามากาเสะออนเซ็น × ที่พักสำหรับลิ้มรสฤดูใบไม้ร่วงมีคะแนนอาหารสูงโรงแรม·เรียวกัง

From the welcoming staff to the front desk team, Room guidance, and dining staff, everyone was courteous and made us feel truly comfortable. The Room was clean, and both the indoor bath and open-air bath were very relaxing. Each dish was beautifully prepared—from seasoning to presentation—and everything was delicious. Thank you for giving us such a soothing time on this trip with friends. Next time, we would love to visit again with our family.

Perhaps because it is a lesser-known Onsen, I felt the price was reasonable. The meals were carefully prepared and delicious. The baths in the Ryokan are simple, but the riverside open-air bath at an affiliated Facility let me truly enjoy nature. Time passes peacefully here, and it is an Accommodation I would recommend.

I stayed for two nights and had a very satisfying experience. I truly appreciated the thoughtful touches. For example, there were pajamas in addition to yukata, and since my room had a private open-air bath, a bathrobe was also provided. There were pitchers of both hot water and cold water, and complimentary Yebisu beer was chilled as well. I was also happy that the meals were thoughtfully changed from the first day’s menu. The seasoning suited my taste perfectly, and everything was delicious.

We stayed in the “Japanese-Western Style Room with Open-Air Hot Spring Bath.” It’s not cheap, but it was absolutely worth it—an incredibly satisfying stay! ■ Room & private open-air bath The room was beautifully luxurious, and the view from it was outstanding. It had both an indoor bath and an open-air bath, and I loved that you can adjust the water temperature yourself in the outdoor one. I set it a bit lukewarm and enjoyed a long soak while taking in the scenery. There were also various complimentary drinks in the room, and spending time on the balcony with a drink while admiring the view felt like pure luxury. ■ Spectacular public bath (a must!) The in-room baths are amazing, but please make sure to visit the large public bath as well! I’ve been to many hot springs, and the view from this one is among the best. There are two baths with separate hours for men and women, so I highly recommend trying both. The daytime views are incredible—but nighttime is something else. Everything around you is pitch-black, to the point where you can barely see anything at first. As your eyes adjust, mountain outlines begin to emerge with an almost overwhelming presence—like giants looming closer. Just when you think “This is scary,” you look up… and there’s a sky full of stars! It had been so long since I’d seen stars that beautiful that I honestly wished they would turn off all the lights. ■ Dining & service Every dish was refined and delicious. That said, younger guests might find the portions a little light (though perhaps that’s fine if you’re mainly drinking—my spouse and I don’t drink). Also, I would have loved to have had a big pickled plum at breakfast. The staff service was excellent throughout—we were impressed from start to finish. ■ Access / other notes - The roads on the way there and the parking area are spacious, so even larger vehicles should be fine (we drove a BMW 2-door coupe about 5 m long). However, if it snows in winter, it may be tough since snow likely doesn’t melt quickly there. - It’s surrounded by nature, so insects do appear. My wife said that “Check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at 11:00 AM isn’t enough time to fully enjoy this place!” She looked genuinely sad to leave. For me, Hita used to be just somewhere we passed through—but thanks to this inn, it has become a destination in itself. We will definitely return!

We stayed in a room with an open-air bath. The river view from the terrace was wonderful, and the room was spacious and relaxing. We were satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. We especially loved the handmade soba noodles—so much that we wanted seconds. My husband really liked the quality of the hot spring water and says he wants to come back. We would love to visit again.

I stayed during Golden Week. I expected it to be crowded, but I was glad I could spend a quiet time. The meals were so filling that I felt they could have been a bit smaller, as I’m in my 60s. The sunset was beautiful while looking out over the Mikuma River, and it felt very pleasant. All the staff were kind and welcoming. I would like to stay again.

I was looking for a Ryokan about an hour’s drive from Hakata where I could enjoy a sauna and great food, and that’s how I found this place. It seems this long-established Ryokan has been renovated into a Ryokan with saunas in every room. The Japanese-modern style was wonderful. There are few shared spaces, so it’s perfect for a relaxing stay-in retreat. The staff were very kind. It has the unique charm of a Ryokan—different from the service style of foreign-owned Hotels. The meals reflected the local flavors of Kyushu and Oita while also trying new ideas, and everything was delicious. Dinner was excellent, of course, but having hitsumabushi for breakfast was a first for me and felt refreshingly new. One of the condiments was yuzu kosho with grated daikon—another great new way to enjoy it. And of course, it was domestic eel! The sauna let us adjust the temperature, connect via Bluetooth, and the relaxation space was very comfortable. Since this is a Ryokan suited to an immersive stay-in retreat, I would have appreciated slightly later check-in and check-out times. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this Ryokan. Thank you!
