Fukumotoya

The open-air hot spring can be seen from the room. The staff or the owner was a very friendly person, which was nice. I think the food is basically delicious. The ryokan itself was very nice, with a handmade feeling.

It is a valuable hot spring that is famous all over the country. If you look closely, small bubbles sometimes appear in the bathtub, but it is not enough to fill the water, so when I asked the owner, he said that a large amount of bubbles were coming out from deep inside the bathtub wall. The bathtub, whose floor is made of stone and sand, has a beautiful bluish color that is suitable for free-flowing water. If you take a closer look, you will find inscriptions carved on the rock walls and small Buddha statues, giving you a solemn feeling. Since the bathtub is on the riverside, it seems to be the style of this hot spring to take a long bath in the lukewarm water, which is classified as a simple hot spring, while listening to the sound of the flowing river and the sound of the hot spring water falling into the river. Looking at the pamphlet of the inn, it is recommended to take a bath for two hours instead of one hour. It reminded me of Tochiomata Onsen in Niigata Prefecture. It is a hot spring that is unbearable for people like me who want to take a long bath in lukewarm water. In addition, although there are many inns in eastern Japan, this inn is one of the few in Kyushu, and is a member of the Japan Secret Hot Spring Association. It is an inn that has a wonderful hot spring with origami, and I hope it will continue for a long time.

Thank you for your help at the end of the year. It was a little cold, but the cave bath with a spring at my feet was the best. It seems to be springing out from the sandbox in the back. Because it was cold, it was reserved. The water is clear and bluish, and you will want to drink it all up. The bath in the hotel is also comfortable with a charter system. The food is delicious. It's not that it's strangely luxurious, but you can enjoy the taste of seasonal ingredients. Especially the rice is excellent. It is a variety that is not commercially available. The rooms are also quaint and beautiful. The inn is also kind. I definitely want to go again.
