It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities. The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience. Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!

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.

Staff was wonderful!! Chen San and Kojima San made the whole stay! Property and grounds were magnificent! Food was marginal…beautifully presented but some items way over cooked,some way under cooked. All in all, a very memorable stay! Will be back! Domo arigato gozaimashta!

8/10 Very good

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.

8/10 Very good

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.

The property, experience, and staff was wonderful. It was very peaceful and quiet. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The private onsen and site onsens, plus the food experience makes it well worth the price. We also enjoyed the drive from Beppu.

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!

気になる宿で、今回初めて泊まりましたが、部屋、露天風呂、スタッフの対応など全てにおいてとても良かったです。忙しい毎日を忘れて、非日常を味わうことが出来ました。 夕食も朝食もすごく美味しく、量も多かったですが、美味しく頂く事ができました。 また機会があればぜひ泊まりに来たいと思います。

［宵待］素晴らしい露天風呂、初夏の日差しも気にならない木陰の下でゆっくり温泉三昧　 料理は季節感があり、手の込んだ美味しい夕食。朝食は品数と味のバリエーションが豊富でご飯を何杯もおかわりしてしまいます　 スタッフの対応は毎回心地よく、細やかな心遣いに感心し、リピートしてます

内風呂&露天風呂、夕&朝食全てが最高でした。スタッフさんの接客も外国の方でしたが、言語に全く問題なく、配慮も素晴らしくおもてなしの精神を感じました。さすが月洸樹さん、噂通りかそれ以上の最高のお宿でした。ただ、70代の両親にはちょっと食事量が多かった気がします。
