Charming family ryokan

It was a very authentic and welcoming place.Even stay in out of season was possible and rooms got showa nostalgic charming presence. Some people mentioned the distance too far from the JR station, I honestly don't I really appreciate the walk with the backpack and the evening atmosphere coming to the inn...it's really a place to slow down...and this isvery much appreciated

breakfast was delicious. great yukatas.

The neighbourhood is quiet and cozy. We really enjoyed walking and cycling around the area. The room is comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed taking a bath in the traditional Japanese style. The breakfast was also excellent!

The owner couple were very kind. They even send us to the ferry terminal in the early morning. The food was delicious, room was comfortable.

“Great host, tasty dinner, good onsen, Arigato!”

Authentic It is what it says it is Grateful for owner giving me a lift to the sandbath nearby in the morning

“Ibusuki”

Room was what I expected and the hot spring bath was perfect. The highlight for me was the food. I ate in both nights and the food was amazing. Highly recommend

It is a traditional old Ryukan, with typical japanese style rooms. The hospitality was great. We had a good sleep.

Lovely lady running it and managing to provide me with vegetarian meals

“Traditional Japanese hospitality at its best.”

The dinner and breakfast were super. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. The tailor made tour was particularly good and focused on my interests.

“Nice little ryokan”

Nice little ryokan, comfortable room, bed, delicious food.

The view is very nice

“A wonderful host made the world of difference.”

Traditionally Japanese including meals, futons and distinct toilet slippers. The host, Hide-san is a true gentleman.He has good English, heaps of knowledge on local matters and Japanese history and looked after us so well. Arigato - Hide-SAN!

“Small, homely, family Ryokan that lives up to it's name”

Good food, homely atmosphere and small, quiet location!

“Friendly guesthouse”

Welcoming and friendly team. Breakfast and dinner were really good. Lots of space in the common areas.

“Traditional Ryokan Experience”

We loved our stay! It's a traditional Ryokan celebrating 50 years of providing a peaceful place for people to stay. We had a traditional breakfast each day which was delicious and well worth experiencing. It is very clean and set in a quiet location with views of the canal. But what makes this even more special is the owner and staff. They showed us such kindness and went out of their way to make our stay a memorable one. If you're looking for something 'fancy' don't stay here. But if you like a traditional experience look no further!

“Fantastic owners and a cozy atmosphere”

The place has a homely feel to it, very cozy. The owners were so nice and friendly on top of their great service - very responsive on booking.com. They also offer breakfast and dinner, the latter which you can reserve beforehand. I didn't try it because I came very late, and had to cancel, and they were very quick and accommodating. Only spent 1 night there,but I would not hesitate to book again if I come to Ibusuki again!

Very well preserved Showa era ryokan with very kind and pleasant staff. We could also borrow bikes to easiliy go around Ibusuki. There's even a private onsen!

“Most amazing ryokan ever!”

Never had such careful and generous attention from a lodging. Ibusuki is a charming little town and Mr. Oyama was available, funny, generous and did everything he could to make my stay amazing. This place is a gem and I would recommend it with absolutely no hesitation. What a wonderful experience!

“Wonderful Traditional Japanese Ryokan”

My room was clean and bright, air conditioned with tatami mats and futon. It is nice to be able to have a cup of tea and relax after sightseeing in my room. It offered a very peaceful environment. The private hot spring (onsen) is a real bonus. You have a choice of two. You can soak in the tub that is filled with water from hot springs that run under Ibusuki. Once again, clean changing room. Bath gel, shampoo/conditioner are provided along with towels. The optional meal plan of breakfast and dinner is well worth the price. The meals are delicious and substantial. The host Hideaki Oyamasan will advise you on the dinner menu in advance. I got a Bento box breakfast when I was leaving because my bus was early and I wouldn't have time to eat at the ryokan. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
