Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 149 reviews
A traditional ryokan located on the outskirts of Miyakonojo. Guests frequently mention the onsen and delicious meals in reviews.
Reviews across booking sites repeatedly praise 'abundant and tasty pork shabu-shabu or kaiseki meals.' Friendly staff and a quiet atmosphere due to its small size are commonly noted. Soaking in the onsen baths leaves a strong impression.
However, some point out the building feels dated and the outdoor onsen isn't available in the morning. It's a 20-30 minute walk to the station, so driving is more convenient than public transport.
Suits couples or adult travelers seeking relaxation and a Japanese ryokan experience.
