Our rooms were located on a non-smoking floor but next is next to a room for smokers. My room smell of stale smoke and corridor outside our rooms smell mushy.

Pleasant stay overall. Buffet dinner and breakfast food is average, room is very dated. Onsen is nice, especially the private onsen and bedrock bath (with very reasonable fee).

Surely one of the best Onsen hotels in the area , very traditional Japanese hotel with authentic hot springs, breakfast offers myriad choices of foods. Traditional Japanese dinners were included prepared by chefs with excellent culinary skills. Both meals were included without hassles . I had a wonderful stay in the hotel and will be back again

It is an old building, room is small. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good, but dinner is just so so.

$17xx for 1 night with pork hot pot is a bit of expensive. The toilet is looks very old style and the CS is asking me yen 3xxx for kid’s meal is unreasonable. My baby has 1 year old and we didn’t pay for it. I disappointed with the dinner but the breakfast is ok.

a bad choice at this hotel. Don't trust those pictures that posted online. Compare with the real condition. It is minus scores. Two nights staying, we both did not use our bathroom for showering. The hair dryer wire is covered full of black stain on. Everything looks so old and dusty. Our room rate was covered with bkft and dinner. Looks ok but not the quality. Only like is the hot spring. No more next time.

Hotel shows its age and badly needs an overhaul e.g. faded wood stains in the rooms and chipped paint all over ceiling of the indoor onsen. Dinner is more quantity than quality, breakfast very cafeteria styled. Overall service courteous in the usual Japanese way. Wifi very weak in the evening. Best part is the outdoor onsen. But it is a nice budget way to experience an onsen hotel.

not bad but will look for other options next time
Nice location but the hotel is not in the best condition. Onsen was large but also lacks privacy and quietness. Restaurant was busy too.

While the place looks a bit rundown from the outside, the rooms are nice and spacious, the view is nice, the onsens are great, and the food was good! A really nice place to stay for seeing Kirishima area, and great for an authentic Japanese experience.

Great value place to stay
Overall, was much better than its rather drab external appearance would indicate. Staff was very friendly and helpful, but none spoke English. Room was clean and comfortable, and unusually large. The best aspect of our stay was the (included) nightly dinners, which were delicious Japanese banquets - much more than we should have eaten! Breakfasts weren't so interesting, but quite adequate. Central location is ideal fo exploring the fascinating Ebino Plateau.
