Wataya Besso

This was my second stay. I had a very relaxing time. The food was delicious, though I apologize for not being able to finish it all. The soft water made my skin feel smooth and was very pleasant. I would love to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you so much! The croissants were delicious as well.

I stayed here with my husband and 3-year-old daughter for my birthday trip. I love onsen with open-air baths, but it's often difficult to visit large public baths with a small child, and many accommodations with rooms featuring private open-air baths do not allow children. Here, not only did our room have both an open-air bath and an indoor bath, but there was also a large public bath for annex guests. We used it in the evening and morning, and both times we had it all to ourselves. Since no one was there in the evening, I took my daughter in the morning, and she was thrilled to experience her first big open-air bath.This accommodation also offers in-room dining service. With children around, it's often hard to enjoy meals leisurely, so this was truly appreciated. The staff member who attended us was kind and friendly; given that families with children are not always welcomed these days, we were genuinely happy about this hospitality. I definitely want to come back again.However, I noticed that the Pierre cookie tin sold at their souvenir shop had less than a week left before its expiration date. While it’s partly our fault for not checking the expiration date beforehand, I wish they would ensure such items are checked before being sold if they are close to expiring. Since we traveled from Saga through Yamaguchi → Shimane → Tottori before returning home by then finding out it expired "tomorrow" really surprised us.I also wanted to try the incense-making experience but couldn’t as all slots were full at that time; next time when visiting again hopefully make sure reservations upfront during guidance!
