Unzen Iwaki Ryokan, hotel in Unzen

Unzen Iwaki Ryokan offers public indoor/outdoor hot-spring baths and traditional multi-course meals. Guests sleep in Japanese-style rooms and free Wi-Fi is available at the lobby.

I really liked the authenticity of the place, it looks like we are transported back in time maybe 50 years ago during the boom of Japan economy. The hotel could use a little refreshing of the interior decoration but it is also part of its charm.

    Perfect location to explore Unzen/Shimabara. The owner and staffs are extremely friendly and helpful, told us their favourite onsen spots/restaurants/activities etc. We enjoyed chatting a lot :) Our Japanese Tatami room was spacious and spotless clean. Nice view from the window! We would definitely come back again.

    Extremely clean. Old style hotel. Great room and very good size with towels and yukata if you need. Hot tea and water provided. We enjoyed the breakfast. Japanese style but not too overwhelming. Close to unzen centre ad there are restaurants for evening food there and plenty onsens

    Very good, affordable option in Unzen. The facilities are very clean, the room is traditional with futon and yukata, and the bath is nice. The pension does not have outdoor bath but there are many public baths just a few minutes away. The host is a very welcoming old lady, she prepares nice typical Japanese breakfast. Thank you! 😊🙏

    Excellent modern ryokan with very hospitable staff and amazing fresh and high quality food. We were served by the owner and his wife who were humble and friendly people. A family of 4, we stayed 2 nights in a room with private onsen. The room was modern, clean and the fact that we had a private onsen to ourselves was a winner. Highly recommend this hotel.

    This is a cozy hotel with traditional rooms and a small onsen. The owners are incredibly helpful and very sweet. The location is convenient and within walking distance to the town and they provide parking if you inform them in advance. The rooms here are really special - they are huge tatami rooms with comfortable futons. The rooms have recently been renovated so that they keep their traditional feeling but are not dusty or dated. Every thing is very clean.

    Limited English spoken by staff, but they make a little go a long way and deserve huge credit for their patience and effort in handling non-Japanese speakers during a busy holiday period. Breakfast and dinner are both good, as are the onsens, and location is central to the hot springs, bus stops to/from Shimabara and Nagasaki, and an easy walk up the hill behind town, which affords panoramic views.
