    주인부부께서 너무 친절하셨습니다. 전통 료칸의 느낌이 나는 실내와 아늑한 룸이 너무 좋았어요. 프라이빗 노천탕 또한 여유롭게 즐길수 있고 정성스러운 식사를 배부르게 먹었습니다. 저희가 렌트카긁힘사고가 있었는데 함께 처리를 도와주신것 또한 너무 감사했습니다.

    夕食・朝食共にとても美味しかった。半露天風呂を貸し切り状態でで6回以上も堪能した。山の中のひなびた温泉だったが維持管理が行き届いて満足。トイレが和式かと心配していたが最新の洋式トイレで、足が悪い家内は喜んでいた。機会があれば又利用したい。

    The open air bath in our room was nice. We also had a small balcony to enjoy the quiet and peaceful surroundings. Apart from the private Onsen in the room, they also have onsen facilities for guests. The food was sumptuous and a very good spread.

    유후인에서 기차를 타고 더 들어가는 (약 1시간 소요) 료칸입니다. 복잡한 유후인에 비해 고즈넉하고 멋진 자연 풍광을 즐길 수 있습니다. 수질이 좋고 방이 넓고 안락합니다. 여성 유카타가 여러 종류 있어 고를 수 있으며 저녁 산책을 위해 등도 준비해주십니다.

    직원분들 너무 친절하시고요. 동네도 조용해서 편안히 쉬다갈 수 있어요. 가이세키도 푸짐하고 배고플 틈이 없습니다. 노천탕은 30분 이용제한이 있어서 겹치는 일이 거의없어서 갈 때마다 편하게 사용할 수 있었습니다. 덕분에 힐링 제대로 하고 갔어요!

Property information

Hello everyone! This is Sanso Matsuya, Oita, Japan. Our Ryokan is a cozy hot spring resort where the owner and landlady run the place while enjoying vegetable gardening. By using the power of local production and consumption (in Japanese "地産地消"), we try to use local vegetables and rices as possible. We may not offer extravagant hospitality, but we provide heartfelt cuisine and abundant natural hot springs. We look forward to welcoming you! < pick up service > We can pick you up at Yunohira station(湯平駅). If you need it, we would like to know the arrival time in advance. Please write your arrival time in the comments section. (Please come here by around 17:00.)
