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

I visited Kumamoto with my mother for the first time in over ten years to attend a concert. Although our stay was limited to one night and two days, thanks to the Hotel’s calm atmosphere and the thoughtful care of all the staff, we were able to spend a relaxing and comfortable time. My mother was also very pleased, and I truly feel glad we were able to stay here. I understand that full recovery from the recent earthquake may still take time, but in my own small way, I hope that visiting Kumamoto can be of some help. I sincerely wish for a swift recovery. If I have another opportunity to visit Kumamoto, I would love to stay at this Hotel again. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality.

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.

As last year, I stayed in the Castle Suite with my daughter. It’s a Room that any young child will absolutely love. It features two Kumamoto Castle-themed bunk beds, a slide, plenty of toys, Kumamon figures, an oversized TV, and a hinoki cypress bath. The refrigerator was stocked with complimentary drinks—both alcoholic and non-alcoholic—so while my child played, I could relax and fully enjoy some downtime.

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 chose the Japanese-style room because it was the most attractive option in terms of price compared with the other rooms at the time of booking. It was a spacious 10-tatami room on the top floor with a view down over the Shirakawa River, and it felt just like staying at a traditional hot spring inn. It would be perfect if there were a large public bath (there isn’t), but the in-room bathroom was very large and comfortable. I stayed multiple nights for work, and having only one futon set in such a large tatami room felt almost a bit lonely. One request: since there are no power outlets near where you lay out the futon, an extension cord would make this even better. Breakfast offers more than enough variety and is very high quality—and they also cook omelets to order. I liked it so much that I’ve already booked again for business trips in December and January. Next time I’ll try a Western-style room for comparison (laughs). If this Japanese-style room is offered at a reasonable price, I highly recommend it.

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.

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.

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

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.

My mother and her friends stayed here. Although it was not eligible for the recovery discount, we were able to stay at a reasonable price, and we 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.

We stayed here to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. We arrived early and waited in the car, but despite the rain, we were warmly greeted with an umbrella and escorted into the Hotel. The welcome drinks, including matcha beer and panna cotta, were delightful. On top of that, the food was exceptional. The aged meats were absolutely mouthwatering. I’ve already recommended this place to my friends. Everything was perfect. We look forward to visiting again!

Overall, this was a Ryokan with an exceptionally high level of satisfaction. This time, we stayed in the Kusamakura Room. There were two of us, but the Room was so spacious it felt almost too large, and premium amenities were provided—so much so that we didn’t need to bring anything from home. The Room has its own bath, and when you open the door it becomes an open-air bath, which was wonderful. There was also a footbath in the garden outside. Because the hot spring source temperature is low—and perhaps because other guests start filling their baths right after check-in—it was a bit disappointing that filling the bath while heating it took quite some time. The meals were very satisfying, featuring spiny lobster, and all of the tableware used was beautiful as well. At check-in, you can choose stylish chopsticks yourself and take them home; even after returning home, seeing them brings back lovely memories.

The location is great, so the price is reasonable. With No Meals Included, there are plenty of places to eat within walking distance, and we enjoyed our stay. Most Ryokan in Yamaga are old and have a retro feel, but the staff were kind and helpful—they responded politely when we contacted them about arriving early and answered our questions with lots of useful information. After sightseeing, I came to like Yamaga even more.

The meals, views, and baths were all excellent. Above all, the staff’s service was attentive and outstanding. This is an Accommodation I would like to visit again.

We chose to spend my husband’s birthday relaxing at an Onsen Accommodation and stayed at Satsuki. All the staff were kind, and the interior was lovely, with a wonderful blend of renovated areas and original features. The Onsen truly felt like a moisturizing lotion and was incredibly soothing. The meals were outstanding, thoughtfully incorporating local ingredients, and we were completely satisfied. We also appreciated being able to enjoy plenty of my husband’s favorite beer. They even prepared a birthday-style dessert for him. Breakfast was excellent as well. We would love to visit again with our children. Thank you very much!
