"Like the onsen in the hotel; onsen water is good and big enough for 6-7 person to use. Japanese breakfast served by staff was quite substantial and tasty.
The room that we stayed is quiet and faces mountain and park. Bathroom a little small but clean. There wasn’t any wardrobe but there were hooks on the wall and hangers were provided."
Stay surrounded by the majestic great outdoors of Aso! BBQ without needing to bring anything!
"Very beautiful place, and the room was truly excellent: spacious, bright, warm, with impeccable bedding and cleanliness.
The bathroom is large and includes a bathtub, and the room is very well equipped (electric kettle, small kitchen, large refrigerator).
It was also possible to arrange horseback riding and get onsen tickets, which is a real plus.
However, for backpackers, this accommodation is not ideal at all. It is very far from everything:
– FamilyMart: about a 27-minute walk
– Bus stop: about a 21-minute walk
– Mount Aso Museum: around 1h15 total (including 20 minutes on foot)
– Aso Station: about a 1h15 walk
A small anecdote: we first climbed up to the accommodation carrying our 10 kg backpacks, only to see on the door that check-in is actually done at the bottom. It would be helpful to indicate this more clearly downstairs, or at least make it easier to notice for foreign travelers, as we missed the information 😅
Finally, for those planning to walk to the Aso Museum or hiking areas, the path indicated at the end of the residential area near the accommodation does not exist."

GGuest UserThe sauna is very comfortable, there are small crabs next to the cold spring pool, the air is clean, the water quality is sweet, the room is well maintained, we use washing machines and dryers, convenient and comfortable.
HHuangbenbendemamaThis inn was amazing! We even added an extra night. Our room had a view of Mount Aso, and dinner was a BBQ with Japanese side dishes. The innkeepers, a loving couple, were incredibly attentive and caring, especially considering we had a child. The four private hot springs, each with its own unique style, were fantastic. This small inn had everything you could need, with impeccable attention to detail and impeccable cleanliness. Even the slippers we wore each day were labeled with the guests' room names. Staying at the foot of Mount Aso allowed us to explore at a leisurely pace. With the extra day, we also visited Takachiho, ate Miyazaki beef, and enjoyed a great inn!
เเปรี้ยวไปเรื่อยIt was actually pretty good, not as bad as some of the Google Maps reviews suggest! Our triple room was huge; we could easily open three suitcases and still had a sofa area to relax. The room was clean, even the AC vents in the bathroom were dust-free. All the toiletries were provided. They have a karaoke room, a common lounge for reading, a gym, a ping-pong table, a walking track, and massage chairs. After dinner, I even went to burn off some calories by playing ping-pong. There's an onsen with a public bath and six private onsen rooms, all free and available all night without booking! The front desk staff were polite and friendly, and they communicated well in English. Even though there were three tour buses full of Thai and Korean tourists, it wasn't chaotic at all. For dinner, the all-you-can-eat crab wasn't huge, but it certainly wasn't tiny and meatless. And there was a wide selection of free alcoholic drinks, so it's probably a drinker's paradise!
GGuest UserThe hotel's location is excellent, the rooms are spacious, and the breakfast offers a great variety. The service is superb, and it's very conveniently located. It's probably the most luxurious hotel in the area, complete with indoor and outdoor hot springs!
LLi-ChenRoom was spacious but the bathroom was awkwardly small. There is NO hair conditioner in the bathroom. The fridge was so cold that the milk froze!
The mattress and pillow were so comfy, soft, and firm at the time. We slept very well and didn’t want to leave the bed!
