Hôtels romantique de Préfecture de Kumamoto, Japon

Pros- spacious villa, quality bedding and large private indoor onsen( see picture 13). We also like the public outdoor onsen in the sister ryokan nearby. There is a little cafe there you can buy drinks and coffee, run by an adorable old couple, very nice and polite. We spent a lot of time there just chilling and listening to the music. Cons- Living room: we were only able to book the western style villa as it’s a little last minute trip. The living room is basic, bland, with sofa, instead or tatami. Our room 512 is next to the car park. Parking lot in front of your main door is not very pleasant. Food : just soso. Nothing extraordinary. See picture. No horse sashimi, the presentation of the steak is really ordinary - disappointing. Perhaps because we had such an amazing meals in the previous ryokan this became a massive letdown. Dinner served in a large public dining room, lack of the privacy and intimacy ther ryokan provide ( we had private dining room in another ryokan 野之花during this trip). I got to see other couples but also feeling like we are being watched. Service- served by young people, not much attentiveness you would expect in traditional ryokan, lack of the warmth and ritual. Reception- 3 star at best. A basic room with uncomfortable chair while you wait to be checked in. We arrived around 2:30pm, and was told that check in can only start at 3pm, and please wait. So we sat at the hard chair and forced to watch the promotional video until 3pm. Conclusion - 3.5 star ryokan, not the most exciting or exclusive villa we have stayed. Maybe it would get better once the trees grow thicker and staff better trained. The sister Ryokan nearby has better feel of environment and feels more established.

Le personnel de service est très aimable. Nous sommes à la porte de la porte, nous avons aidés à prendre nos bagages, nous avons conduit au restaurant pour manger et nous avons présenté tous les types de nourriture et de cuisine. La méthode de cuisine du dîner est très spéciale, la construction de la boulangerie sur le sable et la barbecue, le goût est très unique. Après le dîner, nous amenons à la chambre et expliquent chaque fois, très professionnel. La position est plus lointaine, mais la boulangerie peut être considérée comme une caractéristique. L'hôtel a un piscine public, mais nous n'y sommes pas allés, parce qu'il y a un piscine privée dans la chambre, la température de l'eau est très confortable. Confronté à d'autres hôtels de marque à prix élevés, le rapport coût-efficacité est très bon marché, mais la position est vraiment plus loin.
