สถานีคิตายามาดะ (จังหวัดโออิตะ) × มีคะแนนอาหารสูงโรงแรม·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.

Our dog weighs around 10 kg, so we really appreciated being able to walk him on a leash. The building is spacious, so we were able to relax without running into many other dogs. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent. The meat and fish were very fresh, with a wide variety of dishes—we were completely satisfied. Every staff member was kind and welcoming. We would love to stay here again if we have the chance. Thank you very much.

The Room was comfortable, and the Onsen, meals, and hospitality from all the staff were wonderful, so we had a very pleasant stay. Overall, we were very satisfied. However, there was one disappointing point. When I made the Reservation in April, I requested that we be assigned a location with as little walking as possible because I was traveling with my elderly mother. Yet two days before our stay, we were informed that the lobby is on the 3rd floor and there is an elevator up to the 2nd floor, but to reach our reserved Room on the 1st floor there are about 20 steps of stairs. By then it was already within the period when a Cancellation Fee would apply, so in the end my mother had to push herself and use the stairs. Given the property’s location and structure, I understand that having stairs cannot be helped. However, since I had mentioned at the time of Reservation that we wanted to minimize movement due to traveling with an elderly guest, it would have been more reassuring if you could have informed us then about access from the lobby to the guest Room. Because everything else—the Room, Onsen, meals, and service—was truly excellent, this was my only lingering regret. If you are staying with an elderly person or someone who is unsteady on their feet, I recommend confirming access to your Room when you make your Reservation.

We had some unexpected free time and stayed here as a couple. This is our third visit, as it’s an Accommodation where you can relax in luxury. The Room, service, and Onsen were consistently satisfying as always, but the cuisine felt like it had reached a new level. Not only was everything delicious, each course brought surprise after surprise. Nothing—even the dessert—felt ordinary, and we were truly delighted. Perhaps due to the impact of the Kumamoto earthquakes, it seems a bit easier to make a Reservation right now. We’d love to return again.

Despite changing the number of guests just one day before, they kindly called back and responded promptly. The private bath and the meals were excellent; the hot pot broth was so delicious that we drank it all and ended up completely full. The handmade soba had a great bite, and the freshly cooked rice was glossy and so good that we had seconds even though we were already full. The bath water had natural mineral deposits, leaving our skin smooth and soothing both body and mind from everyday fatigue. Thank you very much.

We stayed in a detached annex. The website said “indoor bath type,” and there were no photos, so we expected a regular bath—but it pleasantly exceeded our expectations. I really think you should post photos of that bath on the website! We originally planned to use the open-air bath, but ended up using the in-room bath the whole time (lol). Also, I believe it was fully booked, yet while we were in our Room we couldn’t hear any voices or noise from other guests at all. You can definitely feel its age, but as a Ryokan it had everything we were looking for. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and very generous in portion size. In particular, I made a Reservation for the half steamed chicken at dinner and it was quite an experience (in a good way). From the website photos I (wrongly) imagined a bone-in thigh, but it truly was “half.” It was very tasty, but you’ll need to save room in your stomach (especially women). When we asked, they even prepared the leftover steamed chicken so we could eat it in our Room! All staff members were wonderful—everyone was pleasant and welcoming. This quiet mountain Ryokan fulfilled everything I wanted: simply enjoying the Onsen and great food. Thank you very much.

I stayed with my Chi-poo. The Room was clean, and it was great to have a private open-air bath. It would have been perfect if we could dine in the restaurant together with our dog. The on-site dog run is covered with wood chips, which is a thoughtful, dog-friendly touch. The staff were pleasant, and it was a wonderful Accommodation. At check-out, we also received a discount voucher for our next stay, which makes it easy to return.

Oguni Auberge Waita-kan The Onsen was amazing, and the game cuisine was delicious. We’ll be back!

The main building's bath was spacious, and the annex's open-air baths were also large and numerous, which was amazing. I felt very relaxed. The meals were a luxurious buffet featuring plenty of local specialties, which left me completely satisfied. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

In early June, we stayed at Kuju-san in search of fireflies. Dinner at this Accommodation was amazing! Freshly cooked, steaming rice was served with a smile at just the right times as our meal progressed, and we could really feel their thoughtful hospitality. The portions were so generous we thought we couldn’t finish, but we ate almost everything!! Even the staff were surprised!!! After dinner, the fireflies welcomed us with a jewel-like sparkle—an unforgettable natural spectacle that made us forget everyday life. Truly moving, again and again... When we asked the staff for advice about our trip the next day, they kindly offered helpful suggestions, making it a memorable journey. This was an Accommodation that is truly kind to travelers. Sorry for the late note of thanks—thank you very much to everyone for taking such good care of us.

We stayed with a group of seven. When we arrived, there were complimentary snacks and other food items provided. Most essentials for daily living were available, and the TV was very nice, so we felt you could stay comfortably as long as you bring clothes and meals. The beds and futons were also comfortable, making it easy to sleep well. Overall, we think you can enjoy a stress-free stay.

I stayed here again for the first time in a while since the renovation. The open-air bath was different from before, and I enjoyed it with the men’s and women’s baths switching. The Room was a Japanese-Western style, so it was spacious, but the bed was narrow and the pillow was high, making it hard to sleep. The meals were very delicious, served at just the right timing. The salmon sashimi was a little unique—well thought out and tasty. The ayu sweetfish also had just the right amount of salt and was very enjoyable.

I felt completely relaxed. If the private family bath was available, I could use it, so when I wanted to warm up a bit before bed, I went there. In the open-air bath, all I could hear was the sound of the stream, water falling from above, and the calls of frogs—it was incredibly quiet. I soaked absentmindedly for about an hour, then ate when I got hungry. During my Multiple Night Stay, both breakfast and dinner had different menus each day, and everything—including the rice and water—was delicious, so I ate too much. I came by bus instead of renting a car; the bus stop is right in front of the property. There are also places within walking distance in Bungo-Mori, such as a roundhouse museum, so I enjoyed sightseeing as well. I’d love to visit again. The proprietress’s thoughtful hospitality was wonderful—I truly felt at ease. Thank you very much.

The room comes with an open-air bath, so you can enjoy the Onsen anytime. The meals are also satisfying. I would love to visit again.

The price is reasonable, and the food (BBQ) and the drinks in the refrigerator were excellent! Having a bath and sauna in the same building is very convenient. However, due to low water pressure in the shower, I rate the Facility 4 stars.

Although the Accommodation is run by a small team, thank you for providing more than adequate hospitality. I was surprised to see a Nepalese staff member offering heartfelt, Japanese-style service. I’m not sure whether it comes down to personal skill or thorough training, but seeing how they supported the other international staff made me feel their ability is exceptional. The service side is already very strong, so if you continue making consistent investments in your Facility, I believe you will also help boost the overall appeal of Amagase Onsen. If I have another opportunity, I would be happy to stay in Ukiha again.

We stayed in a cottage. For this price, the cottage stay with two meals and unlimited ice skating was great value and truly impressive. The Room was clean, and the bedding was very comfortable. The front desk staff had wonderful smiles and took great care of us from arrival to departure. The ladies at the dining area were all very warm, and we appreciated how kindly they spoke to our child. We would love to visit again during the ice-skating season. Thank you for your hospitality!

I stayed at Tsuetate Onsen for the first time. Despite being in a region where space along the river is limited, the parking lot was conveniently located nearby. The staff's hospitality was excellent, making my stay very comfortable, and the meals were absolutely delicious. The accommodation's bath was spacious and impressive, but the highlight was "Kissho no Yu," an outdoor onsen with five open-air baths nestled in the forest—truly a relaxing experience. I would love to stay at this accommodation again!

The Room was spacious and spotless, with plenty of beds, and the appliances were all high quality, so we had a very comfortable stay! The tableware was well stocked, and everything was stylish—above all, it has great taste! The meals were also absolutely delicious! The staff were attentive and courteous, which made our stay even more pleasant.

It was a wonderful Accommodation. The room aroma, hand soap, trash bin, and other thoughtful touches—likely chosen by the proprietress—were all lovely. The Onsen water quality was excellent. I would definitely like to stay again when I visit Kumamoto. The proprietress’s personality was also wonderful. Even though you kindly set aside ice for me, I accidentally forgot to take it out of the freezer—I'm very sorry.
