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.
Incredible experience, ALL the staff were super friendly and helpful. The room we stayed in was impeccable, even the public bathhouse was very clean and has a very nice atmosphere. The in-room onsen bath although was semi outdoors, still could be heated , the facility was perfect.
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.
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!
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.
Super nice environment! Spacious room can accommodate 4-5 persons with private bath. We only had 3 persons.
Large king size bed with firm enough mattress!
Staff are very professional and helpful. Great food.
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
