"Pros: Super friendly staff - really went out of their way to accommodate the challenging vegetarian requirements of our youngest child. The staff was really so great and friendly and nice with the children. Also helped me out helping to book a ferry from Sagoseneki in Japanese. Can’t get much better. Nice spacious cottage houses. Many amenities included as well. Tasty yakiniku and shabu-shabu dinners (with lots of wagyu meat) and nice breakfasts too. Private inside and outside bath were great and hot. The cottage is showing some wear and tear but it adds to the charm. We would have happily stayed for a full week. Cons: It is further away from mount Aso and Kurakawa onsen than you might expect. Keep that in mind." ~Gerhard
