I was there day after Earthquake at Kumamoto. Actually, this city was not in my plan but I just drop for next destination at Yufuin. However, the owner and staffs were very kind and helpful. My stay at that night has earthquake about m5, the owner came to my room warned me about escape preparation and next morning she advise me to move to Osaka for safety. The day to move to Osaka, I checked out already but she treat me with Hot tea and Futon for relaxing before go to ferry. I was impressed about service and kindness that they gave to customers. So, I recommend everyone choose here without doubt.

Good stay but the location is a bit remote”

The owner is very friendly, love the garden outside our room and the traditional Japanese room

The hotel is very Japanese style and the owner is a very friendly Japanese lady who can speak quite some English. Our room has a garden outside and the hot spring is right next to the garden, so it's lovely. The location of the hotel is not very convenient, it's around 15 mins walk from the JR station but not difficult to find. We had a nice hot spring in the afternoon but when we tried to have it again at the evening, the hot spring temperature is utterly high that we could not bare, I guess they might forget to maintain the temperature. As a whole, it's a pleasant stay and good value, would recommend to anyone wishing to experience the traditional Japanese stay.

It was a nice place to stay. The host is very friendly. You can book private onsen. Breakfast was good too. Not easy to find the location especially when drive at night. Missed the turn on the narrow road as the sign board was not clearly visible at night. Overall I will still recommend the place.
