Perfect stay. Service is high standard. All details were taken care of. Breakfast and dinner were both served in the room. They were delicious and beautiful. Private onsen (one in door and one outdoor) were both clean, hot and 24h running. One minor issue is that the outdoor onsen is much hotter than the indoor one. It can be too hot to step in.

pros- A very comfortable resort hotel. Private hot spring is available. Nice service. Hotel can provide shuttle to bus station when leave. Good service and beautiful scene. Cons- weak 5g 4g signal (not just hotel but the whole area) -If no driving, suggest go by taxi at 日田station.

Our stay was amazing here! The staff were lovely, very attentive and helpful. They even helped us exchange our train tickets at another station.  The location is beautiful and extremely peaceful and relaxing, and the hot springs are amazing! The included breakfast and dinner are out of this world! One of the best meals I’ve ever had.  Highly recommended!

The hot springs were great, and I enjoyed several of them. The service was also quite good. However, I'm not sure if the hotel's bed linen was changed promptly; it clearly wasn't clean. While it's normal to encounter small bugs in the mountains, after dinner, when I prepared the bed and was about to sleep, I discovered several small black bugs crawling in my duvet and on the sheets. My companion's duvet also had them. I squashed a few with my fingers (the photo I took didn't show any duplicates). I tried to comfort myself, thinking that bugs are normal in a mountain setting, and turned off the light to sleep. The next day upon checking out, both of us felt itchy. I only had three small bites, but my companion's lower legs were quite badly affected. If the bed linen had been changed promptly, then perhaps the issue originated from mites or other pests in the storage closet where the linens are kept. For a hotel costing over 3,000 yuan a night, being bitten by bugs like this is truly unacceptable.

The hotel is nestled in serene mountains, and we stayed in a room with a private hot spring. The hotel staff were all very friendly and attentive, and the food was excellent. It's definitely worth making a special trip to experience.

This is genuinely the ryokan of a lifetime! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive. The kaiseki dinner was an unbelievably moving experience, showcasing the ultimate in delicate perfection and meticulous artistry. The hot springs were pristine, leaving my body feeling utterly serene and rejuvenated. I'm already planning to return this winter! It's a ryokan that's worth every single penny – truly a once-in-a-lifetime stay.

The hotel service was excellent. Amenities were a bit limited, but the meals were very satisfying. While the mountain location was somewhat inconvenient, the shuttle service was a great help.
