Nanakusa No Yu

"The head chef of this inn is from Goto Islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. Therefore, ingredients from Goto, where he was born and raised, are used abundantly. This time, the menu included sashimi of "kue" (grouper), a light dish of "Goto udon pasta," and steamed "kankoro mochi." There is a strong influence from the food culture of Goto Islands. Fish from the Goto Sea have firm flesh and little fishy smell. Goto udon noodles are thin and chewy, and the broth shines through. The cuisine at Nanagusa no Yu is the type that values ​​the broth and lingering aftertaste rather than the assertiveness of the ingredients, and it is delicious even without being strong. I also felt the "tranquility of the mountains" and the "depth of the sea" at Nanagusa no Yu."

Saito Ryokan

Saito Hotel

"There were plenty of things to experience, like the gym, pool, and sports classes, so a longer stay would be ideal. I couldn't do everything in two nights and three days. I would have liked to have done a one-day tour (to Obuse Town, Mugonkan, etc.) if I had more time."

Tamaya Ryokan

"Our stay here was absolutely perfect, highlight of my trip. We got the suite and it was amazing, it was newly renovated so everything was clean and shiny, I thought it looked way better than the pictures so I would highly recommend it. The private in room onsen was fantastic, just made it so much easier to onsen whenever you feel like it. The onsen water was also absolutely amazing, had the slightest tinge of sulfur so you know you're getting the real deal. I must have went in at least 5 separate times cause it felt so good. The floor felt like real wood and there were fresh cut flowers in the room. The public onsen was also very good, at least the yin yang one has a cold water basin so you can alternate dipping in and out which was fantastic, the massage chair was also really good. Food was of the highest quality, very delicious. We got the fugu menu and it was very nice. Had a lot of fugu. Also tried horse sashimi! Staff were very friendly and polite. We felt pampered on our trip. It is slightly out of the way but taking the regional train on the last leg did feel pretty neat and authentic. I was so sad to leave, wish I could visit again. Feels like 7 or 8 out of 5, such a nice place. "

Ryokan Hanaya

"When I checked in, I was surprised to see a woman wearing a Taisho Roman style arrow pattern and hakama. His demeanor is relaxed and truly retro. Impatient people may get irritated. Everything is Japanese retro. The lobby and the hallway that runs through the garden are truly retro. The scenery looked like something you could see in a historical drama. There are 3 baths. The two bathrooms are divided into a men's bath and a women's bath depending on the time of day. The open-air baths are separate for men and women, with separate entrances. Meals are taken in the dining hall, and the pillars and beams of this dining hall are reminiscent of a castle. At breakfast, the woman in yesterday's hakama and kimono was wearing a black dress and white apron. It was a Taisho romantic maid costume. Dinner includes 3 seasonal matsutake mushroom dishes. I had a relaxing time for the first time in a while."
