I had a single room in the annex. It was very compact but comfortable. I used one of the two reservation-only (but free) baths and it was great after a day of biking in the cold. The dry curry for dinner as well as the sukiyaki for breakfast were exceptional. I was also a good value and I would stay here again for sure.

Annex and main building are not connected so you need to put on proper clothes and shoes to get from the annex to the baths in the main building.

Room was decently sized, with a cable you can pull out to the other side to hang up towels to dry. As noted in the negative bit, if you have larger luggage, once the futons were out, it might start getting a bit cramped. Food was pretty decent - we did not get the meal option, so we ended up eating the curry and basashi (horse meat sashimi) that was available. Seeing the dining room food, we kind of wish we had gotten a meal option! But you could also just go to the FamilyMart next door for quick and convenient options as well if you missed out and it was past dining time. Baths that were available for use were quite spacious and comfortable. Some required booking and others were first come first served.

We got a Japanese traditional room; with our larger luggage, it was a bit awkward to use with the futons laid out. Not a deal breaker, but something to watch out for.

This inn is a wonderful little japanese in. We were in a japanese style room with 3 persons and it was beautiful. Yukata and towels are supplied to use the inhouse onsen. I recommend to reserve one of the two, that need reservation. You can reserve breakfast and dinner too, if it is still available. We had dinner there, and it was really good curry. The breakfast wasn't available sadly. The personal can also communicate a bit in english, so don't be afraid to book, even if you do not speak japanese.

A wonderful but rustic ryokan, a little more of the trak of normal tourism. We had a wonderful two nights stay and enjoyed the experience sincerely. Ignore every post thatchers bath could be unclean. They are impeccable, everything you could mistake for a stain, is just mineral deposit naturally accuring in a thermal bath filled with vulcanic waters.

What was wonderful for us might incline the stay of others, the ryokan is a little secluded and you should have a care or await longer travel time by bus or train.

The owner of the property was very friendly and went out of his way to clearly explain everything that was available at the hotel. We were even provided with a map of the surronding area that had suggestions on where to eat. The property also had 6 private onsens, 2 of which you could book in advance. The rooms and all communal areas were very clean. The curry that was available for dinner was good, as were the local juices!

Lovely quaint vibe to Asobe Staff very helpful and funny, I don't speak much Japanese but somehow they managed to translate humour over to me Buildings in good condition and lots of choice of onsen bath washrooms Bedrooms small but comfortable. Good amenities.

Accessibility would be an issue for anyone without a car, or a bicycle at a push. Not really a detraction from the property itself, but it's to be expected with the area.

The six private baths are great, the room for 1 person is very cosy, dinner was absolutely delicious, and the staff is really nice and helpful.

I did not have a car which was not ideal for this location, but there are some buses (not often). I hitchhiked both ways to the train station as there is one main road from the hotel to the station.

The location is very convenient if you want to explore Mount Aso (Nakadake Crater and Kusasenri) and Cuddly Dominion. There is also a family mart nearby. The staff was good and helped me to call the taxi.

The room is relatively small, but it's enough for sleeping. Also, there was no soundproofing, which could be a problem if the neighbour is making a lot of noise. Also, there's a charge of around 400 yen/night if you bring an infant, which isn't described in the information.

Japanese style, clean and free reservation for multiple different types of private onsens. Very conviniently family mart is right next door (24/7). I loved the atmosphere here. A lot of places to park. The man at the desk spoke pretty good english.

Pillows were kind of uncomfortable. I didn’t ask if they had other types though, because we only stayed for one night.

Conveniently located. The onsen facilities. Family Mart next door. Friendly staff. Plenty of restaurants within a ten minute drive.

The cafe was closed . Our second floor room didn’t have an attached bathroom/toilet. The common toilets were just outside our door. The bathroom/onsens were downstairs on the 1st floor. These were fairly minor issues but takes a little getting used to.
