Tamaya Ryokan

"It's close to the station, the spring water is pure, it flows freely, the food is excellent, the facilities are immaculately cleaned, and the staff are friendly. It's been a while since I've stayed at a lodging that's perfect. Even after hopping on the Shinkansen after work, I was able to take two days off a week and feel like I was on a three-day, two-night trip. I arrived around 9 p.m. with a no-dinner plan, and enjoyed the free-flowing hot spring water that was open all night. The next morning, breakfast was a delicious, no-nonsense ryokan breakfast. Nothing pre-made, everything was homemade, which was impressive. The public bath is closed during the day for cleaning, but I used the public bath at Bessho Onsen instead. I stayed multiple nights, and dinner on the second night was carefully prepared and delicious. There were many thoughtful touches, including a reusable shower bed, a large, movable towel rack, four bath towels, and the option to add yukata (I only had two for two days) (even when I stayed two nights somewhere, they only provided me with a yukata and one towel). I used the public bath 10 times, and it was always clean and well-maintained. Draft beer is also available for free at set times! The soft, free-flowing hot spring water has a faint sulfurous scent, but because it is weakly alkaline, your skin will remain smooth no matter how many times you bathe."

"The owner is very kind. It's quite tiring to walk from the station. You'll sweat a lot even after soaking in the hot spring, so you'll need to change clothes. They provide a shuttle service, so please ask them. Since it's located in a forest-like area, ants and spiders tend to get into the room. It's a bit disappointing that you can't easily go to the hot spring town."

Nanakusa No Yu

"The head chef of this inn is from Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. Therefore, ingredients from Goto, where he was born and raised, are used abundantly. This time, the menu included sashimi of "kue" (grouper), a light dish of "Goto udon pasta," and steamed "kankoro mochi." There is a strong influence from the food culture of Goto Islands. Fish from the Goto Sea have firm flesh and little fishy smell. Goto udon noodles are thin and chewy, and the broth shines through. The cuisine at Nanagusa no Yu is the type that values ​​the broth and lingering aftertaste rather than the assertiveness of the ingredients, and it is delicious even without being strong. I also felt the "tranquility of the mountains" and the "depth of the sea" at Nanagusa no Yu."

Saito Ryokan

"I stayed overnight without meals included, arrived late at night, and left on the first train of the day, but I felt a sense of peace and tranquility that only a small, cozy place can offer. The landlady was very kind, and the sulfurous hot spring water was wonderful."

Ryokan Hanaya

"It was a nostalgic place to stay. From the culture of the late Edo period to the Taisho Romanticism and Showa era, it felt like I was traveling through a time capsule. It was a truly wonderful day. In particular, when I requested a tour of the facilities, I was given a thorough explanation of the building, which is designated as a "Registered Tangible Cultural Property by the Agency for Cultural Affairs." I sincerely hope that this cultural property will be passed down to future generations. I would definitely like to stay at this inn again."
