Find Historic Hotels in Aso

Exceptional service and beautiful scenery. Our family of four loved the well-appointed rooms and the relaxing onsen. It’s a perfect spot to experience the quiet beauty of the Japanese countryside. We left feeling completely refreshed!

This was a gem of a hotel in the middle of NOWHERE. But I can't fault the hotel with that. The hotel was very clean, staff was nice and my room is huge for even Western standards. Just nothing to eat around that location... 😯

Great

First off let me preface this by saying that you have to be open minded. Some foreigners want to go to a place and have it be just like home but in another country. If you are looking for a western style hotel that has a happening nightlife and tons of bars and people around, then this is not the place for you. But if you are looking for the real Japanese experience with a nice quiet getaway and amazing private onsens (private hot spring soaking baths) then this is your place. The staff was...

Amazing food, beautiful property grounds, best service (especially Yuji was super helpful and kind) . Highly recommend this Ryokan!

great service and food

All was wonderful!

Wonderful stay at this ryokan - amazing food, staff and scenery!

The stay was more than perfect.

The people are great! The room was clean and homey. The free breakfast was amazing, and the free midnight noodles were delicious.

Very interesting landscape and loved the osen. It is one of the few private osens where I could bathe with my partner. One thing that should be made clear on the Expedia description is that you can only pay with cash!

The facility is clean. The staff is very helpful. Breakfast was great. Will stay again.

We had an amazing stay! The service was excellent and all the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. The food was delicious, and the private onsen was a perfect, relaxing experience. Highly recommend!

The R9 hotel was nice that we could park so close to our room! The only drawback is when it is raining the water comes off in front and when trying to enter the code to the room we get all wet from the runoff. Besides that, it was great.
