> We had a great stay here while traveling with my wife and son. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. We arrived on New Year’s Eve and couldn’t find any restaurants open, but the owner helped us by drawing a handwritten map and explaining everything clearly — it was really thoughtful. > > The room was clean, tidy, and very comfortable, with a classic Western–Japanese style. One of the highlights was the observatory. The owner gave us a tour and showed us the planets, which was absolutely amazing and something our family will never forget. > > Highly recommended!

Super Friendly Owners, Spacious Room, Nice Private Onsen, and Delicious Breakfast. The owner even showed us the stars with his telescope!

Had a great stay here with parents. The staff were really helpful when we arrived, even offering to show us the stars and night sky view

The owner was helpful and enthusiastic. His telescope setup was really good and his startle was wonderful. He had many suggestions for touting and sight seeing.

The place offers deep tubs in each room as well as a public ofuro. I didn't get to use the (milky way) onservatory due to weather conditions, but it is available. The best part for my stay was however was due to the friendly owner. He had given me info for best local spots and I enjoyed my chat with him. Hope his business prospers.

The owner's guidance was great, and I really enjoyed the delicious breakfast and dinner. I appreciate you showing me the constellations at the observatory.

The service level at this place is exceptional. The charming owner couple is incredibly kind and highly knowledgeable about the region. Their level of genuine service surpasses that of any five-star hotel concierge! Additionally, the breakfast and dinner they serve are not to be missed. The meals feel like they are prepared by a Japanese mother, offering a comforting and authentic culinary experience.

The owner is awesome, help us with restaurant n places to interest to visit. Very friendly, breakfast very good. Hair dryer alittle old, not enough to dry hair.

There are stargrazing offered by the host on his own initiative. Best to include half-board (Dinner Breakfast) as you need to drive out to find restaurants (and most will close by 5 or 6 pm) and quite a distance away Need to pre-order the breakfast and breakfast, as last minute request is not acceded. We have an excellent breakfast offered. We find the dinner menu (as shared by the host) has an excellent spread. Strongly recommend for those who want peace and quiet and a very host (together with his wife) who is very friendly and caring

The hosts where very friendly and accommodating. My son has celiac disease and they were able to cater to him at short notice. They also drove us around sight seeing as we had no car also at short notice. Didn't find the beds really comfortable

Truly wonderful stay in the Aso Kyushu area of Japan Plenty of walking and sightseeing after a superb breakfast Our host helped us to plan our trips with personal maps We could view the night skies from the observatory in the garden

We arrived without a car (our fault). Owners were fantastic and took us on tours around the National Park twice. Fabulous hospitality and we had dinner there three evenings and it’s the best food we’ve had in Japan, delicious and presentation was excellent.

The air con had clearly not been cleaned for a Long time, as it had a mouldy smell when switched on. As a result, we had no option but to sleep with the windows open instead. Apart from that, the room was generally clean. The private hot bath was nice. The old man who received us was friendly at first. However, our experience was ruined during check-out. We had started to drag our luggage out of the room when he came to our room at 9.58am (2 minutes before official check-out time) to chase us out. We had barely removed all our luggage from the room when he started cleaning. We found that rather rude and uncalled for. After all, occupancy rate was very Low at that time as no other rooms in the cottage was occupied. In our rush to leave, we may also have left an item behind in the room. We emailed the cottage to ask if the item was found, but received no response. It would appear that once they’ve secured your business, service doesn’t matter anymore...

Excellent hospitality and the breakfast (Western type non buffet) which is included is great. The only regret we have is that we did not try the dinner because they do not do walk-in and house guest like us have to make pre-booking 2 days in advance.

Is a comfortable place. The owner is extremely friendly and very helpful. I will recommend my friends to stay here in future

太棒了 晚上抬頭可看到好多星星 但晚上最好提早入住 山路很暗 天色還沒變暗前比較安全 家庭溫泉很舒服八點前入住可看天文台 很可惜這次沒看到 下次有機會一定還會入住 早餐也好吃 環境優美食物美味😋

房間很大 很整潔 很好的旅居主人 旅居主人有一個天文望遠鏡 第一次親眼望見星球 很震撼 環境清幽 寧靜 很美的地方 有機會一定會再次入住

おそらく素敵なご夫婦（ご家族の方も？）で運営されていて、最大限の細やかなご配慮頂きました。部屋や建物も暖かい地方の軽井沢といった感じでバブリーさを感じました。朝食は上流階級の方が召されているような昔から変わることのない温かい紳士的な内容で、普段と違う朝の優雅な時間を満喫できました。特に気温が低い時に訪れたので朝食の温かいスープと、ディナー前菜の熱々のグラタンが超絶体にしみいる美味しさでした。パンも本当に美味しかったです。息子が私たちの分まで食べていました。サラダも適度にバランスよく、ドレッシングも美味しかったです。お肉は何口かでお腹いっぱいになる上質なものでした。野菜もプレートで焼いて特に玉ねぎとエリンギが美味しかったです。キッシュオムレツが美味しかった、紅茶も素敵な味でした。ヨーグルトも美味しかったです、食事全てに自然の恵みを感じました。息子への食事中のマナーも奥様が声がけしてくださり、旦那様は、天体観測の先生が来ると教えてくれて、ものすごくたくさん天体観測が見れて感動しました。月はもちろんのこと、土星のリングを倍率を変えたバージョンと、アンドロメダ銀河、二重星団、すばる、アルリゲル等々。解説をしてくださり、6歳の息子も望遠鏡を覗きながら、終始感激の声をあげていました。朝は、了承を得て息子の図工で使うどんぐり拾いを庭でしました。町では見られない良質な太ったどんぐりが100個近く獲れました。本当に色々お世話になりました。温泉も貸切です。かけがえのない家族の時間を三連休で過ごすことができました。リピート確定です。

Guest House inside mountain run by an old Japanese couple. They are very helpful and friendly. The environment is beautiful and quiet. Breakfast is simple but good enough as it is made by heart!

飯店主人很親切，很有原則，不過有些小要求，飯店主人不一定會答應，去的時候私人泡湯浴場只有週六才開放！
