Better to rent a car to get there, so convenience is not somebody who books this place should look for. For relaxing purpose, this is a nice area with lots of green, the down side is it is next to a golf course, so there were sounds of tree-cutting and a bunch of golfers practicing their putts on the practice putting green next to the site for trailers. I am not a big fan of that. Service is closed to non-existent, there were staffs who helped checking us in, they were friendly and did their job explaining all the essential functions of the trailer. They had to use the translator machine to communicate, they were very patient. I can't rate the service too high because after checking in we were pretty much on our own. So not something you should look for if service is a top priority. Best part is there is an onsen next to the site that offers family bath, that's memorable.

The pension was old and the room dated but the shower and onsen made the stay worthwhile.

A restaurant inn close to ASO Jinja shrine. Service and the cherry blossom room in the building are good. Now it is a small number of people, and the drink order during the meal is painful. It is highly likely that it will arrive at the back entrance from ASO Jinja shrine and bus stop, and in that case, it may take time to notice even if it enters. Although the quality is high overall, there is an impression that there is no writing equipment in the questionnaire, and there is no counter, so the place of check-out is unclear now.

Food at the in house restaurant, Ichinokawa, was superb. Rooms were overall satisfactory, with big plus for their in-room onsen. Finding the ryokan was a little difficult. It’s off the main road. Look for the tall sign with a couple of logos on it. Turn in and drive down. They are about 150m in at a cul-de-sac. We were met by a staff member who helped us with our luggage, dropping it off in the room. Check-in was in an old hut with a small glass window in the floor to appreciate the river flowing below. The staff member spoke some English, and his ready smile made up for everything! Our Villa was a walk away. A small key on a large wooden key chain opened the sliding door. Once inside, we were surprised by what we regarded as mismatched furniture. A large red leather couch with a matching TV console, and a glass mural on the wall was in the living room. Further in was the formal tatami sitting area. Walking back past the door, a toilet with all the usual Japanese toilet with all the Japanese toilet functions can be found. Right next to it was a “retro” bedroom. Based on our personal taste, we chose to have the bed made on the tatami floor. Down one flight of stairs is the bathroom, Cedar wood bath tub and the sauna. There’s an air con here to heat up the sink area. We ran the bath to heat up the shower area. After shower and scrub up, we jumped into the bath tub for a soak. This was a nice area to be in. Very relaxing and if you’re up for it, there’s also a sauna that you need to wear clothing provided. The food at Ichinokawa is superb. Fresh seasonal produce with exquisite culinary skills. Beautiful restaurant environment. Service is polite, efficient and done with pride. Overall a satisfactory stay here.4 we just did not get with the room decor, but other than that service was excellent and the food was exquisite.
