สถานีโชนาย (จังหวัดโออิตะ) × โรงแรม·เรียวกังที่มีคะแนนความพึงพอใจสูง

Both the Room and bath, as well as the cuisine and customer service, were of a very high standard at this Accommodation. In particular, the private dining room was a wonderful space with a refined sense of style. The reflection of the waterway’s surface on the navy-blue wall inside was truly magical. I also felt it would be nice to raise the blinds a little at breakfast to enjoy it. The locally made cookies provided in the Room were also delicious. This is an Accommodation where I’d like to stay again, even in a different Room.

We booked Kamenoi Bessou to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. They kindly prepared celebratory sekihan (red rice) for us, which made us very happy. We were able to relax and unwind in our room and enjoy the open-air bath at a leisurely pace. The shuttle service to the station was a great help. It is a wonderful inn in every way. The meals and the thoughtful hospitality of the staff were excellent, and we even received a commemorative chopstick rest when we checked out. It’s an inn that makes you want to come back again.

The warm hospitality and attentive care from all the staff left a strong impression. They kindly answered our questions about the food and the Facility, allowing us to relax and enjoy a comfortable stay. The meals were truly excellent, and I was especially impressed by how delicious the meat dish at dinner was. Thank you for your heartfelt service and delicious food. I would love to visit again.

This was my sixth visit in total, and I’m grateful to be moved every single time. Thanks to the variety of room options and the warm hospitality of all the staff, I’m able to enjoy that special “escape from everyday life” that I value when traveling. What impresses me most each time is the food. Dinner in particular has never been the same even once, and the seasonal-themed dishes have become the highlight of my stay. Considering today’s rising costs for all kinds of ingredients, I’m truly impressed and thankful to see the chef’s exceptional creativity and ingenuity reflected in every meal. One note of caution: because the food is so outstanding, you may end up drinking more than usual—so if you love alcohol, a bit of self-control is recommended (lol).

Although the building and Room are not the newest, the staff’s thoughtful hospitality—clearly reflecting excellent training—felt genuinely warm rather than scripted. The food was also stylish and delicious, and we had a very comfortable stay.

We stayed here on a trip with my parents-in-law. Our top priority was finding an Accommodation that could provide a low-sodium diet for my father-in-law, who became seriously ill last year. If possible, we also wanted to bring our dog along, since my parents-in-law adore him. Those two points are why we chose this Accommodation. From the parking guidance to our Room, we were warmly welcomed by staff with wonderful smiles. They also prepared chairs for my elderly father and even a chair for the in-room Onsen bath, so within 30 minutes of arriving at the Ryokan we already felt truly happy. What impressed us most was the meals. We were told they would “accommodate as much as possible,” and they really did—removing mentaiko, providing low-sodium soy sauce, and preparing dishes without salt or pepper. Thanks to all these adjustments, my father was able to finish almost everything. Since his illness, even eating out requires constant caution, so being able to enjoy a meal together at the Ryokan made us genuinely grateful. Some Reviews mentioned there were no dog amenities, but there were lint rollers and paw wipes available, so we had no issues. The usual overnight set you’d bring when leaving a dog at a pet hotel (pee pad tray, food bowl, water bowl) was enough. The in-room Onsen bath was very spacious, with perfect water temperature—I used it many times. All of the staff at this Accommodation were kind and pleasant throughout our stay; it was truly two days of happiness. We would love to visit again!

My wife and I stayed here as a reward after work. Everything was wonderful—the butler service, the food, and the atmosphere. The early evening with a hint of autumn and the refreshing mornings were both amazing. Staying for about two nights would be perfect. Next time, I’d like to try another Room as well. Thank you—my wife was very satisfied too. The meat miso we received was so good we couldn’t stop eating rice.

Although we chose quality over quantity for the meals, there was more than enough—so much that we couldn’t finish it all. Thank you very much for picking us up while the taxi line at the crowded station kept growing. We were able to spend a quiet, relaxing time away from the bustle of tourists.

Just as when I stayed before COVID, I was able to enjoy a wonderful time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Unfortunately, it was raining when I arrived, but the staff dried my wet umbrella and delivered it to my room. The free-flowing hinoki bath is surrounded by greenery, and the silky-smooth water refreshes both body and mind. At Nichols Bar, I enjoyed a cocktail made with locally grown kabosu—it was wonderfully refreshing. For breakfast, I also enjoyed plenty of ingredients unique to Yufuin. Thank you for taking such great care of me.

The room was very clean, and the flooring had a cushioned feel and was made of a material that dried quickly after being wiped, even when wet. The staff’s service was perfect. The 24-hour free-flowing natural hot spring bath was also excellent. In the attached photo, I snuck in while the bath door was open and ended up stuck and unable to move. It was so cute that I took a picture. Of course, it did not get into the bathtub.

With only eight rooms, each featuring a private open-air bath, this is a wonderfully quiet place to relax. The large public bath also has a spacious, impressive open-air bath! Depending on the time of day, it felt almost like having it all to ourselves, and we enjoyed it immensely. My skin stayed silky-smooth for days! The food was all delicious—especially the rice. Even I, having grown up in the countryside, was amazed at how good it was.

I felt completely relaxed. The property offers plenty of privacy, and I was able to enjoy the hot springs and meals without running into other guests. Although I hadn’t mentioned it, the staff realized that the next day was my birthday and gave me a wonderful birthday gift. It was totally unexpected, so I was both surprised and deeply touched—it became a truly memorable stay. Needless to say, the Chateaubriand for dinner and the Eggs Benedict for breakfast were outstanding. Being able to have dessert after dinner and breakfast in our room was also very helpful, as we could dine at our own pace. I would recommend this place to anyone who prefers a quiet, calm atmosphere. I’d love to stay again—thank you very much.

It was a cozy inn, and the building was very stylish. The hosts were kind, and it was truly relaxing. We were able to enjoy the private hot spring at our leisure both morning and night. Breakfast was in a separate building, which was also very stylish. I was impressed by the yogurt drink served first. The soup was refined and comforting—perfect for starting the day. When we checked out, they kindly took lots of photos for us since we had the chance. It was the last day of our first trip to Kyushu, and it became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much.

My son wanted to ride the Yufuin no Mori train, so we stayed here for one night. It’s close to the station, and the location is great. The building is old, but the rooms have been renovated and were very nice. Many recently renovated older hotels and ryokan offer all-inclusive meals that are luxurious but tend to feel similar. However, this property served plenty of local specialties with a unique touch, and the selection of drinks was excellent. The baths were also great. The room itself is in an older building, but it was spacious and beautifully renovated. Thank you for taking care of us.

This was my first stay. Since there is no toilet, I rated the Facility 4, but the main house is nearby so it wasn’t much of an issue. The dome tent was comfortable, and even the heavy rain from a linear precipitation band didn’t bother us at all. The furnishings such as the chairs and lamps were lovely, the meals were delicious, and we were able to relax with our dog. All of the staff were always smiling and responded politely. Afterward, I contacted you because I had forgotten my hat, and you handled it right away. I’d love to visit again.

The private room came with an open-air bath fed directly from the hot spring source and was in a detached building, so we were able to relax very comfortably. Dinner was carefully prepared dish by dish and was absolutely delicious. The portions were quite generous, and we were very satisfied. Breakfast also included dessert, which was a lovely touch! Even without that, this Accommodation would have been more than enough, but what stood out most was the service. All of the staff were thoughtful and attentive, and we felt comfortable throughout our stay. When we were leaving, we declined the send-off, but right after stepping outside we got lost. Even then, it seemed they had been keeping an eye on us from behind and kindly asked us, “Where are you headed?” We received warm hospitality until the very end, making for a truly satisfying stay. Thank you so much! We’re looking forward to staying again!

This was our second stay. Both dinner and breakfast used local ingredients, and we enjoyed them very much. When staying in Yufuin, this is the Accommodation my family always requests. The staff were courteous, our privacy was well maintained, and we were able to relax at a leisurely pace. This Room also had both an indoor bath and an outdoor bath, so whenever we had free time, we soaked in the tub. We’re looking forward to our next visit.

I visited with my daughter, and from start to finish we were able to relax and enjoy a comfortable, unhurried stay. The Room was clean and simple yet well equipped with everything we needed, and the private open-air bath in the Room—available as many times as we liked at any hour—was truly soothing. The meals were excellent, especially the rice, and we enjoyed hearty dinners and breakfasts. We were also allowed to bring our own alcohol, so we brought a local wine; glasses were kindly provided, and it seemed other guests also brought their own drinks and enjoyed them in their own way. The proprietress’s hospitality was thoughtful without being overbearing—she checked in at just the right moments with a gentle word—and the pleasant atmosphere throughout made this a wonderful Accommodation that I’d love to visit again next time with my husband.

I stayed here because the Accommodation highlighted that you can see the Seven Stars in Kyushu from the Room. It really was a Room with a great view, and I was able to photograph the Seven Stars in Kyushu with Mt. Yufu in the background. You can also see Mt. Yufu from the Onsen in the Room. The medicinal rice porridge at breakfast was especially delicious!

I made a Reservation to see the morning mist at Lake Kinrin. All the coin lockers near Yufuin Station were full, so it was very helpful that you stored my luggage before sightseeing. The room was carefully cleaned, and the post-bath beer server was a nice touch. Since Yufuin has many international visitors and there were also international guests staying at this Accommodation, some voices in the bath area were quite loud and a bit uncomfortable. However, there were five private family baths, so I could move right away and relax comfortably. Fresh face towels were provided in every bath, which was also great because I didn’t have to reuse a wet towel.
