Aso No Shiki

The service was excellent, and the food was good too. The only downside was the shower water pressure, which was too low, and sometimes there was no water at all, which really detracts from the experience.

I was worried it wouldn't feel like a ryokan since there were only Western-style bedrooms, but it was incredibly cozy and satisfying! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the breakfast and dinner were delicious.

This inn was amazing! We even added an extra night. Our room had a view of Mount Aso, and dinner was a BBQ with Japanese side dishes. The innkeepers, a loving couple, were incredibly attentive and caring, especially considering we had a child. The four private hot springs, each with its own unique style, were fantastic. This small inn had everything you could need, with impeccable attention to detail and impeccable cleanliness. Even the slippers we wore each day were labeled with the guests' room names. Staying at the foot of Mount Aso allowed us to explore at a leisurely pace. With the extra day, we also visited Takachiho, ate Miyazaki beef, and enjoyed a great inn!

Great place to see Mount Aso and experience Japanese ryokan culture. The staff were very friendly and the food was delicious. Some of the facilities are a bit outdated, but it's worth the price. Parking is also very convenient.

The hostess was very kind, and dinner was delicious. She even gave me rice balls for lunch. The hot springs were also nice.
