สถานีอุเอกิ × บ่อน้ำพุร้อน × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

We stayed for a Multiple Night Stay of four nights. Above all, this Accommodation is truly pet-friendly. We visited with both a dog and a cat, and they both seemed relaxed and happy. There were plenty of amenities for dogs and cats, plus facilities such as a dog run. We could stay with peace of mind, and all the staff clearly love animals, which made our time here even more special. The Japanese staff were wonderful as expected, and the international staff were also incredibly polite—so much so that we initially thought they were Japanese—always with warm smiles. It gave us the sense that the training and working environment here must be excellent. The staff deserve more than five stars. Meals are à la carte, so you can choose whatever you like each day in any amount you want. This was especially appreciated during our Multiple Night Stay, and everything was consistently above average in taste. They offer a great balance of both Japanese and Western dishes, so we never got bored. Every day was delicious. Alcohol at night at the bar, as well as drinks in the Room refrigerator, are included, which is very reassuring for those who enjoy drinking. In addition, 30 minutes of spa treatment per day was included; I even received a massage and felt truly healed. The Room was neither too large nor too small—just right for two people—and it was well designed and easy to use. The hot spring water left our skin smooth and glossy; it was excellent. Both the indoor bath and open-air bath are fed directly from the source (free-flowing), and we could adjust both volume and temperature using only the natural spring water. It’s pure luxury. These days many Hotels or Ryokan only allow smoking in designated areas, so being able to smoke on our private terrace attached to the Room is something smokers will really appreciate, especially if you want to have a drink on the terrace while enjoying a cigarette. Because the terrace is surrounded by high walls, our cat could also go for walks there safely. Cats tend to run off easily, so it’s rare to let them stroll freely—this was another great point. Our cat looked completely at ease. It was our first time visiting Kikuchi City. There are many wonderful places nearby including Kikuchi Gorge, and Aso is less than an hour away by car, making sightseeing very convenient. Since there is a university stable near this Accommodation, there may occasionally be a slight animal smell, but that isn’t an issue caused by this Accommodation itself. And since this is an Accommodation that pet lovers choose specifically because they travel with animals, I think it’s simply something not to worry about (it didn’t bother me). This is a fantastic Accommodation where you can truly relax with your pets. Thank you very much.

We stayed to celebrate a birthday anniversary. The hot spring water was excellent, and the amenities were well stocked. In the bathroom refrigerator, there were small sherbet treats (for heatstroke prevention?), along with water and tea. At dinner, there was a surprise that made us very happy, and we were able to spend this special time in a meaningful way. Thank you very much.

Both the Room and the Onsen are wonderful, and the staff and the proprietress are warm and welcoming—every visit is truly relaxing.

We stayed in the South Wing. We loved having a separate bedroom and a massage chair, and the entrance and wash area were spacious as well. In-room dining, a semi-open-air bath in the Room, the large public bath, and the lounge—everything we wish for on an Onsen trip was there. The meals were delicious, made with carefully selected local ingredients and thoughtfully prepared dish by dish. We were impressed by the considerate touches such as chairs near the elevator, as well as the original coffee and tea provided in the Room. Above all, it was wonderful to see how efficiently and pleasantly all of the staff worked. We would love to visit again in a different season.

The staff provided excellent service, from our arrival to meal service. The large public bath and the Room were very clean, and the food was delicious, making our stay very comfortable. It became a wonderful memory of our family trip. Thank you very much.

I stayed here for the first time, inviting two friends from out of town. I had heard great reviews from people who had used Yuya Suizen and was told it was worth visiting at least once. The staff’s hospitality was excellent, and the Room was clean and extremely comfortable. The hydrangeas in the lounge and throughout the property, along with the furnishings, were tasteful and beautiful. Breakfast was delicious, and we had a truly happy time! I’d love to come again with my family.

The bath was very relaxing. The view was great. The food was also delicious. I had imagined traditional ryokan-style Japanese meals, but instead we enjoyed a delicious course-style dinner.

This was my first trip to Kumamoto. I was a bit worried after the earthquake, but the city itself didn’t seem much different. It was disappointing to see that part of Kumamoto Castle’s stone walls—within walking distance—had collapsed again. The hotel was convenient because it was right in front of my work venue, but due to the earthquake, many taxis were chartered by insurance companies and it was hard to hail one. However, there was a bus terminal directly across the street, so I made good use of buses. The complimentary coffee service—common at Dormy Inn—is always comfortable and appreciated. The large public bath on the top floor wasn’t very crowded and felt great. As you get older, a big bath really is nice. The Room was functional, but although the toilet seat had a washlet, only cold water came out. When I contacted the front desk they responded quickly, but afterward the warm-water light was on while only cold water still came out. On top of that, perhaps they forgot to reconnect the faucet chain during maintenance and I couldn’t operate the lever (I fixed this myself). Still, since the front desk response itself was good, I deducted one star (this might fall under Facility/amenities?). Depending on your destination and purpose of stay, I think it’s a very convenient location.

The building is new and located in front of Kumamoto Station, with spacious and clean rooms. The Onsen is small, but the water quality was excellent. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. There is only one elevator, so there might be a short wait, but everything else was very satisfying. The Aka-sake was delicious as well.

I stayed one night with breakfast as a solo traveler. The friendly, playful proprietress was wonderful. My room was in the older wing; it does show its age, but I was impressed by how well it’s been maintained. It also had a modern toilet, which was a nice touch. There’s no mirror at the sink, but there is a vanity with a mirror in the space behind the shoji screen—it made me feel nostalgic, like being at my grandmother’s house. By chance there were few other guests, so I could enjoy both the indoor bath and the open-air bath all to myself whenever I went. The water quality is simply excellent. The temperature is on the mild side—perfect for someone like me who likes to soak slowly—and especially in the open-air bath, I felt like I could stay in forever. There’s also a waterfall-style shower that felt amazing. Breakfast was so filling I thought my stomach might burst. With a wide variety of dishes plus fried eggs and sausages—and even a hot pot—I was completely satisfied. An incredible value. The proprietress’s skin was so smooth too; it really is a lovely inn. I’d love to stay again.

I stayed for one night as a solo guest. This Accommodation offers an Onsen-focused experience, with a spacious Room featuring a free-flowing Onsen bath, plus access to the Onsen at the nearby roadside station. Breakfast is served buffet-style and includes local dishes such as noppe-jiru. It’s popular and Reservations may be hard to secure, but I’d love to stay again.

We stayed here for a golf trip! Everything was spotless.

This was my first stay at Yulax, and it was even better than I imagined. First, the cold plunge. It’s properly cold, and above all it’s deep—being fully enveloped by the water feels incredible. Hitting the MADMAX button and getting drenched with a huge rush of water from head to toe is also amazing—I could do that again and again (laugh). The sauna itself is truly relaxing, and the aufguss at “THIS IS IT” especially stayed with me. The music, heat, and performance make it feel less like a sauna and more like live entertainment. That experience alone made the trip worth it. What unexpectedly left an impression was the other guests. I got the sense many were in their 20s to 40s, and everyone had excellent manners. It felt like there are many people who love saunas and genuinely care about this place. It’s a comfortable space not only because of the Facility, but also because of the people who gather here. Including that atmosphere, I couldn’t help but feel that what the owner wanted to create—their vision—has truly taken shape. The relaxation areas are well equipped too, so you can unwind for hours after your sauna session. The food was very satisfying; in particular, the mapo tofu was generous in portion size and genuinely delicious. Even aside from eating after a sauna, it’s something I’d want to have again. The parking lot is spacious as well, which makes it easy to visit by car. Yulax wasn’t just a place to use a sauna. It’s somewhere you can step away from work and everyday worries, clear your mind, and spend time for yourself. By the time I left, even my mood felt lighter. For me, it was “a place where I can find myself again.” I definitely want to come back.

The building seemed a bit old, but it was well cleaned and felt very tidy and comfortable. I stayed for one night and two days. On the first day, I used the adjacent Agannasse baths. The variety of cold-water baths was great, and there was also complimentary coffee. The next morning, I used the large public bath before departure, which was also very nice. I only had the breakfast buffet, but there was a wide selection and everything was delicious.

My parents stayed here when they came to cheer at a game. They said the meals were hearty and delicious, and they were very satisfied.

Everything was excellent. The breakfast, in particular, was outstanding.

The Kumamoto earthquake struck on the second day of my business trip. The elevator stopped and I had to use the stairs, but otherwise I was able to stay as usual without feeling anxious. I could still use the large public bath, and above all, it was a huge help that the izakaya on the first floor stayed open so I could get a meal. At that time, all items had disappeared from convenience store shelves. Thank you very much.

My mother stayed here with her friends. Although it was not covered by the recovery discount, they were able to stay at a reasonable price and were satisfied with the room, meals, and bath. The portion sizes and seasoning were just right, and everyone was happy.

The Room was clean, and the Onsen was amazing! The food was incredibly delicious and very generous in portion size, so even men will be satisfied! It would be helpful to have a fan in summer. I will definitely come again.

The hotel felt older than I expected, but the hot spring water was great. There’s also a radon hot-spring sauna and an outdoor bath, so I was able to relax. Since it’s on slightly higher ground, the sunrise and night views were beautiful too. The room has tatami flooring, but it was clean. There’s also a refrigerator. The toilet is a bit small, but it didn’t bother me. Overall, the value for money is excellent. They also had an EV charging station. One thing: I wish the hair dryers in the large public bath were better. The airflow temperature is low and it takes a long time to dry hair. Maybe that’s why some guests brought their own? When traveling, it’s hard to bring a hair dryer, so please consider improving this!
