Kunisakisou

Staff was wonderful and friendly. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. It was a feast. Location was a little hard to find. It is near the jigoku or hells of Beppu. Roads were very narrow and we thought we couldn't drive in. Check out videos of the roads around it before heading there to familiarize yourself. The manholes around the Ryokan had steam coming up and it was fun taking photos and videos there. Sleeping on futons was comfortable for us. A thin mattress was placed under the futon so it did not feel like we were sleeping on the ground. The ryokan has an indoor onsen which does not require reservation but it is not private for your own use. It also has two family baths requiring reservation. The family bath was nice and hot spring water took away the weariness of the day.

The staff at the ryokan was very polite. Room came with dinner and breakfast. Dinner was a very sumptuous meal with sashimi and few other courses. Ryokan also had its own onsen for us to enjoy and relax in. The beds and futon was also very comfortable.

All the staff were extremely helpful and nice, helped suggest a wonderful place for us for dinner very near the hotel. the room was clean. the onsen was excellent we made reservation and had the open air private onsen all to ourselves. i made a reservation for a parking space and the hotel ensured i had one right in front of the hotel.

We really loved the ryokan, the room was nice, everyone was really friendly, there were 4 different baths and the traditional dinner was massive and really good. The breakfast was also great.

Good location, wonderful breakfast, very friendly hosts.There are communal baths and private onsen in the ryokan, which were absolutely perfect! A huge plus fot the jigoku mushi steam kitchen outside the building, where you can cook your own meal (there is a big supermarket 10min on foot from the place!)
