I wanted to hide from the crowds of tourists and feel as close to nature as possible.
The place is simply magnificent, the location of the ryokan is generally ideal. There is a magnificent view from the window, the sound of the water is very relaxing!
A huge plus was the presence of 3 shared onsen (family bath) which did not need to be reserved! Just come and take the ones that are free (They are open 24/7)!
In general, the topic of hot springs in this ryokan is a hotel conversation, the temperature is pleasant. 2 open-air onsen (very beautiful with different themes), 2 closed onsen (open 24/7) and 3 shared (private onsen)
Kaiseki (dinner/breakfast) was magnificent, we spent 2 hours for dinner and 1 hour for breakfast. There was a lot of food, varied and interesting. Everything was incredibly delicious! In general, we were fed there with:
The staff is very polite, they will help, explain, speak English.
We asked to leave our things before leaving because we still had a lot of time before the bus and the staff kindly agreed! Thank them again!
In general, it was a wonderful trip and a very beautiful place! In the evening, if you are in season, they light the lights on the river and it becomes completely magical!
It's located very near to the train station that is very convenient for travelling and with many restaurants around. Room is rather small but clean with all the necessities required. The public bath and free breakfast are extra bonus for the booking. We enjoyed our stay very much.
An old resort hotel, in addition to the hot springs, there are many large parking spaces! Dining is acceptable, no more like. If you don't order dinner, you can't find a good restaurant nearby to eat? It's very quiet at night like a suburb! I booked a Japanese-style room but no staff set tatami 
Bedding? I have to do it myself, I am very happy 
It was my first time staying here.
It was a very beautiful and relaxing space!
Breakfast was buffet style and delicious.
I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
The hotel has free parking and there are many restaurants around. The breakfast at the hotel is an all-you-can-eat buffet at the restaurant next door. When checking in, the hotel also gave the children juice and children's slippers. The room is small~
Although the North Building is a little far from the main building restaurant, it is completely acceptable. The room is large and the facilities are complete. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from Aso Station, which is completely acceptable if the weather is good. The buffet is a good combination of Western food, the ingredients are fresh, the taste is good, there are many choices, and there are different varieties for breakfast and dinner. I didn't experience the hot springs, so I can't comment on it. In short, it is a hotel I am willing to stay in again.
Very good location. The room is spacious and well designed for the price. It has a nice window view of the shopping mall across. Highlight of my stay was the public bath, they have both indoor and outdoor baths, which were clean and thoughtfully designed. Definitely a place I would come back for!
Great value for what we have paid for. Efficient check-in process. High quality public bath facilities with two hot hot springs (one indoor and one outdoor), one sauna and one cold water pool. Although this hotel is listed as a 3-star hotel, we would say it is much better than many 4-star hotels in many regards. The employees at the check-in desk speak decent English too.
This hotel will pick up guests at the bus station. It is a little far from the bus station and is on the mountain, so it is very quiet. The hotel has only 9 rooms, which is a bit difficult to book. The waiter is very friendly and seriously introduces the room, dining, etc. The hotel's second meal also has local characteristics and tastes good.

BBubuWuThe hotel is ideally located close to major attractions and transportation hubs, making it convenient for tourists and business travelers. The rooms are comfortably and elegantly designed, fully equipped, and provide high-quality beds and a quiet resting environment. The service staff is enthusiastic and professional, and can respond to needs quickly, making the stay experience more pleasant. The hotel offers a variety of dining options, rich and delicious breakfast, as well as facilities such as a gym and swimming pool to meet the needs of different travelers. The overall environment is clean and tidy, and the cost-effectiveness is high. It is a recommended accommodation option.

DDavidRoom was reasonably large. Free drinks 18:00 to 21:00. Large bath. Friendly staff. Try the hotel restaurant below ”Ryosai” for some sashimi (horse included)

TTok1970Location is a bit far from Kumamoto station.
Walking distance is about 35min but you can take a tram to reach.
Overall the hotel is good.
There is also a public bath with hot pool.
For those shy or feel uncomfortable to use the public bath, there is also a very private bathroom attached.
RRuicosta0410The waiters are very friendly and the environment is quiet. There are four independent private baths, three indoor and one outdoor. The food is rich. The surrounding environment of Aso City is relatively rural, far away from the hustle and bustle, and it is a good place to take a vacation.
