Beaitiful ryokan with private onsens and a public bathouse. Both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. Highly recommend if you would like a romantic or releaxing getaway.
This place is a wonderful escape. It is very rural and rustic. The wonderful staff will accommodate your every need and the food is incredible. We had such a relaxing stay. Book a room with a private tub. You will not regret it.
Fantastic place to stay! From the moment we arrived we felt very well cared for. The room(s) were spotless and in beautiful shape. The soaking tub in the room was a real treat that we took advantage of. And the meals were phenomenal!
The property, meals & staff/services are above expectations! It was golden week and was glad to have stayed here. Minami Aso is beautiful with gorgeous mountains & surroundings.
Thsi is the second time we've stayed at Bettei Soan, it's an amazing place to stay. The service is impeccable, the villas are beautiful and have every amenity you could possibly need. The private onsen is wonderful, and the japanese breakfast is delightful. I cannot fault it
Everything wonderful.
Really enjoyed with my husband and 2 small kids.
I love to recommend for every one.
Thank you so much for giving us the best stay !!
Hotel staff is very sincere and helpful and speaks very good English. We corresponded earlier via messaging, she was very concerned when we arrived late, asked if we had dinner first thing we got off our car, as the recommended restaurant for dinner to suit our children was closing at 9pm. She was able to recommend us places to visit with children around the hotel.
It was raining the 2 days while we were in Mimani Aso. It was very cool and cosy and all the staff there were so nice that fully complemented the entire experience. Amenities provided for men as well.
Breakfast was customed to our preferred taste, served to our double-storey villa.
View from room was fantastic.
In-room onsen was excellent and everything still look new and well-maintained though this villa is alrdy 11 year old!
We highly recommed and will love to return again.
