Hot Springs Hotels in Minamiaso

Have you read the detective novel by British writer Agatha Christie? She has a work called ”Crimes in the Sun”, which is about a group of tourists vacationing on a sunny island. Suddenly an extremely strange murder happened... When we walked into this hotel, I Suddenly thought of Christie's novel in his mind. In the remote and quiet countryside, a hotel with a strong classic flavor stands alone. There is an elegant restaurant in the hotel with about ten rooms. Through the window of the guest room, you can see the smoke erupting from Mount Aso and the rolling mountains in the distance. The surroundings of the hotel are quiet, full of greenery. Everything fits perfectly with the scene in Christie's work...Of course, nothing changed in the end. We spent two happily nights here, soaking in the natural hot springs in the hotel every morning and evening. The boss’s cooking skills are good, and the breakfast she cooked is very delicious. highly recommended.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Ryokan Minawa, un lieu paisible et authentique au cœur de la nature du mont Aso. Le cadre est superbe, entre montagnes et verdure, et les bains onsen privés sont vraiment relaxants. Le personnel est très accueillant et attentionné, et les repas servis sont délicieux et joliment présentés. Une expérience japonaise traditionnelle que nous recommandons vivement ! Seuls petits bémols : une légère odeur d’humidité dans la chambre, et le vin le moins cher à la carte un peu trop onéreux à notre goût. Egalement pour y accèder, après plusieurs changements de train, il faut marcher une bonne quizaine de minutes depuis la gare (si pas de voiture). Malgré cela, un endroit magnifique pour se ressourcer et profiter pleinement de la région d’Aso.

The hotel room has a great view, which makes me feel really relaxed. The hot spring is open until 11:00 p.m., which is perfect for unwinding. The only downside is that there’s no bathroom in the room, so you’ll have to use the public bath. If you can’t make it to the hot spring at night, there won’t be any other place to take a dip, so that’s a bit of a bummer. On the bright side, there’s a golf course right next to the hotel with a beautiful environment. Lots of locals and tourists come to play golf there. The room is also really big and comfortable, so you’ll feel like you’re sleeping in the sky.

The room named ”grass sound” was stayed. As the name suggests, in a Japanese-style room surrounded by tranquility and signs of nature, I felt my heart unwind from the moment I opened the door. The room is equipped with an open-air bath, and until 20 o'clock at night, there is also an ice cream service in addition to free alcohol drinks. Not only coffee and tea, but also warm soup, and I was gently swallowed by the cold season. The beauty of the starry sky looked up from the room at night was breathtaking. The quiet and clear brilliance that can be felt because there is little artificial light has become an unforgettable memory. The rooms are clean up to corner 々, the amenities are carefully arranged, and you can feel the delicate care everywhere. The staff were warm and kind from beginning to end and I was able to spend very comfortable during my stay. It is an inn that makes you want to visit again.

The location is conveniently accessible by car, the environment is comfortable and beautiful, the food is delicious, and the onsen (hot spring bath) facilities are complete. Staying here for one night was truly relaxing. Excellent value for money.
