Excellent traditional experience, onsen is great and the traditional food sets (both breakfast and dinner) are very nice. Only problems I had overall were maintaince going on during my stay (landscaping and some light building work), and some parts of the building are showing their age (especially in the onsen and lobby areas). Bonus note, some of the hole in the wall restaurants nearby are excellent and the rual area nearby is great for a break from the big cities (it has that fresh air countryside feel).

not recommended. tourist trap

well. for the price. not good. my room : ok size, old bath tub with moss. smells like soy soyce spill, next room loud i can hear kids screaming at 1 am. also on going construction in front. sauna water is so little, sauna is so old and so cold. toilet is so cold. my ass frozen. i made reservation 3 months ago but they did not say ‘dinner is not available’. had to look for local restaurant for 1 hour. luckly we found local restaurant. if not, i could have eaten at 7/11 store. been to many japanese ryokan and hotel. this is the worst local motel with nothing around. this is tourist trap motel in middle of nowhere. nothing traditional about it. i rather drive 1 hour to kumamoto stay in nikko hotel or the blossom kumamoto hotel.

タワー館、窓際埃と黒ずみだらけ。 古いので上段の足音、もろ聞こえる。 朝食は種類豊富。 温泉豆腐を出してるが溶けやすいらしく、カスみたいな豆腐をすくい集めて渡された。 形なしほぼ豆乳。 悲しい。 楽しみにしてた温泉はチェックインは15:00なのにこの日に限って17:30から営業。 チェックイン時に言われる。 ホームページ記載無し。 無駄な時間。 シャワーは水しかでない。 しばらくしてスタッフのおばさんが温度測りにきて急にお湯で始める。 大浴場もぬるく最悪。 みんな裸でうろうろパニック。 浴場にフロントに通じるインターホンも無し。 朝も営業時間内にお湯止められまた水。 本当に最低な温泉旅行になりました。
