Aso no Yamaboushi

For several months after we started planning a trip to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday,this was one of the Accommodations we chose after a lot of 고민 and consideration.It was the perfect Accommodation for what we wanted: a relaxing stay for a small group, an open-air bath, and delicious food.The Room had an open-air bath, a Goemon bath, a stone sauna, and an indoor bath—so we could truly enjoy bathing to the fullest.It was our first time dining around an irori hearth, and just watching the fire is so enjoyable...Wonderful to look at and wonderful to eat—everything was deeply satisfying, including the atmosphere.They also lent us a red chanchanko vest for the 60th birthday celebration, and it made me feel truly glad we could come on this trip and celebrate. Thank you very much. Every dish was delicious, but the takikomi rice and the yogurt ice cream dessert were outstanding!! The bedding in the Room also felt like “magic futons” for us as a couple—so comfortable we didn’t want to leave (lol).Thank you to the owner and proprietress for your warm hospitality. Along with your wonderful personalities, the surroundings of the Accommodation reminded me of where I grew up as a child—it felt nostalgic and comforting, and it was a place where I could relax from the bottom of my heart.We chose this Kyushu trip thinking it might be our last chance to go there, but this has become one of those Accommodations that makes us want to return.I wanted to give all ratings 5 stars, but I gave 4 stars for in-room amenities because it would have been perfect if items like skincare lotion were individually packaged.

It was a very lovely accommodation! The room had an indoor bath, Goemon bath, open-air bath, and stone sauna, making it luxurious and enjoyable. The service was attentive, and I would definitely love to visit again.
