Although I live in Fukuoka, I stayed here for a trip within the prefecture, also to enjoy cherry blossom viewing with my partner. This time we chose the relatively affordable Room “Seone.” There were other appealing Ryokan nearby and we debated, but I’m truly glad we chose this one!What stood out first was the food. Both dinner and breakfast were carefully prepared, with a wide variety of vegetables, fish, and meat—completely satisfying both my stomach and my heart. I especially can’t forget how delicious the white rice was! Was it rice from Ukiha? At breakfast, there were several kinds of pickles served buffet-style on small plates, and it was fun to choose.It was so good that I was debating whether to get another bowl of rice when a female staff member noticed and kindly asked, “Would you like more rice?” That made me really happy.The Room also felt clean and surprisingly spacious for an affordable option. The Ryukyu tatami mats were stylish and extremely comfortable. We could see the Chikugo River from the window—it felt wonderfully open.For the Onsen, we made an advance Reservation for the rooftop open-air bath (private family bath). It was amazing—such a private space, plus we could enjoy the sauna too!One note (it may depend on the season): there were truly a lot of small flying insects. Maybe because it’s by the river? If you really dislike bugs, you may want to be cautious.The staff’s service was excellent as well. They even greeted us on arrival and saw us off when we left—it was very moving.This has become an Accommodation I absolutely want to return to! I had been interested in a guest Room with an open-air bath from the start, so next time I’d like to stay in that type of Room. It became a wonderful memory. Thank you very much!

I stayed here for business.I love Onsen, and this was my first time experiencing a source spring that is drinkable (it seems quite rare).The slightly silky water was the perfect temperature—not too hot or too lukewarm—so comfortable that I could have soaked for a long time.The Room was also very clean, and I regretted not booking a Multiple Night Stay.The Accommodation staff were very hospitable, and I was extremely satisfied.I would like to stay again.
