Warm and cozy hospitality, beautiful hotel and good food! Will highly recommend my friends to come!

Excellent service, beautiful hotel, good food and they even allow you to feed the ducks there. My parents who are over 80 like it a lot!

Gem Find!

Really lovely tradition ryokan! Greeted by the friendly boss and his staff upon arrival. Love the relaxing vibe. It’s so children friendly and our kids love feeding the ducks and fishes at the pond in front of our rooms. Very clean and cosy rooms. The in-room onsen was a big bonus. Very suitable for family staying together. Although location is quite far off, it really pays off with the fantastic view of the mountains and nature. Food was exceptional as well. Very good portion and variety. Stayed for 3 nights and had a really good time! :)

Loved the omakase each night and huge breakfast each morning. We left early one morning for a day trip but the staff packed us a Bento since we missed breakfast. The staff were all incredibly friendly and hospitable.

Charming ryokan in Minami Aso. Staff were very friendly and kind, especially to kids. Beautiful grounds with duck-pond and cats, and areas to sit outside. Room was very comfortable and spacious with modern decor and a lovely private indoor and outdoor onsen. I would highly recommend this place for their excellent service and wonderful facilities.

Would love to come back.

Very pretty, very tasty. We stayed for two nights it was very relaxing! There were a bigger room available and we were upgraded for free. But the smaller room was also very nice. The views from windows are very nice. Everyone is very nice and welcoming. Private onsen in the rooms is also amazing. Would love to come back. The beds (on the floor) and the pillows were very comfortable.

Great place for rural relaxation.

Warm welcome from staff who came to the car with greetings and to take in luggage. Facilities were great and exactly as advertised. We all really enjoyed our food and drinks. Our little one also loved feeding the ducks and seeing the koi on the grounds. Great views around too.

Love the property...very peaceful and the in-room outdoor onsen is wonderful.

Wholesome breakfast with a spread of variety of japanese breakfast staples. Wonderful that the menu changes daily unlike buffet spreads.
