We stayed in the Yumemi room . It was spacious and beautifully designed traditional and modern mixed Japanese space. Loved the wooden beams and the private indoor and outdoor onsen. I highly recommend this place. Make sure to have the Kaiseki meal if you haven’t experienced it yet!

Very luxurious ryokan! The food was plentiful and delicious and the sky onsen views were incredible. The private onsens in our room was very roomy too! The whole experience was wonderful and the service was very good. Our main server, Divas, was very polite and attentive. The stocked minibar and check out present (packed lunch) were a very nice touch.

Nice sophisticated ryokan. Attention to detail. My first dinner and breakfast were wonderful , second Wasn’t as good. The a/c was right over my bed so the air blows at the bed, not too comfortable. The bed sinks in the middle. We took a taxi from Kumamoto, it took 2 hours. The private baths were great. There are no snacks in the rooms and nothing to order, bring some ! Only 8 rooms so lots of privacy.

Nice, lots of privacy. Limited English. I don’t think they want to cater to westerners, other than the dinner menu nothing else is translated. I had a hard time with the a/c control which is all in japonese. The private baths are great. The food was wonderful on the first night but not as good on the second , same with breakfast. Overall enjoyable.

2度目の宿泊でした。食事の時間、タイミングがとても良かったです。2度目ということもあり、 勝手知ったるで、時間的にも余裕が持ててとても楽しめました。お料理、お風呂言うこと無し。スタッフの方もとても感じが良かったです。最後に頂くお土産が肉味噌だったのですが、（鶏味噌と牛肉味噌一瓶ずつ） 同じ物を２つにしてもらいたかったです。 前回のハンバーガー🍔が私は食べたかったです。復活して欲しいと願っています。 また、絶対宿泊したい宿です。
