Very luxurious ryokan! The food was plentiful and delicious and the sky onsen views were incredible. The private onsens in our room was very roomy too! The whole experience was wonderful and the service was very good. Our main server, Divas, was very polite and attentive. The stocked minibar and check out present (packed lunch) were a very nice touch.

Best experience

It took us approximately 2 hours on a rental car from Fukuoka. The hotel is new and we stayed at one of the villas (Izayoi) with private onsen pool. Dinner and breakfast included was extraordinary and we were even offered a lunch meal for free before departure. We had a comfortable stay and pleasantly surprised to see snow the next morning. Service was excellent and we would love to go back there again.

2度目の宿泊でした。食事の時間、タイミングがとても良かったです。2度目ということもあり、 勝手知ったるで、時間的にも余裕が持ててとても楽しめました。お料理、お風呂言うこと無し。スタッフの方もとても感じが良かったです。最後に頂くお土産が肉味噌だったのですが、（鶏味噌と牛肉味噌一瓶ずつ） 同じ物を２つにしてもらいたかったです。 前回のハンバーガー🍔が私は食べたかったです。復活して欲しいと願っています。 また、絶対宿泊したい宿です。

今まで宿泊した施設の中で一番でした。 全てが最高。強いて言うなら、食事の時間が長すぎてお腹いっぱいになり、最後のお肉が食べれなかった。夕食に3時間、朝食に2時間かかりましたので、あと1時間ずつ短縮できればなぁと思います。時間が長くなると、満腹になり食べれなくなってしまって。それが勿体なかった。
