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.

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.

Best experience

It took us approximately 2 hours on a rental car from Fukuoka. The hotel is new and we stayed at one of the villas (Izayoi) with private onsen pool. Dinner and breakfast included was extraordinary and we were even offered a lunch meal for free before departure. We had a comfortable stay and pleasantly surprised to see snow the next morning. Service was excellent and we would love to go back there again.
