Ryokan Miyama Sansou in Minamioguni

This is a perfect place for a complete break in a secluded location. Although communication in languages other than Japanese was a bit challenging, the staff's proactive and welcoming attitude helped resolve everything.

The food was fantastic and delicious, and there were so many hot spring options to choose from, with beautiful scenery too. I really loved the cloaks provided; they not only kept me warm but also looked elegant when worn.

Everything was perfect! 👍

Overall, very satisfied.

This hotel is part of the same group as Sanmizuki and Shinmeikan.

Sanmizuki is adjacent to Fukayama Sanso, located halfway up a mountain at the source of the hot spring. Guests can enjoy free access to the forest hot spring at Sanmizuki. The hot spring quality is superb, with abundant foam.

The hotel provides free shuttle service. Before arriving, we contacted Ctrip to arrange for the hotel to pick us up from the bus station. The next day, we wanted to go to the Hirano Observatory. After gesturing at the front desk for a while, the hotel drove us there directly – a 10-minute drive! Walking would have taken an hour, thank you!

Additionally, the front desk helped us book return bus tickets at check-in (there aren't many buses from Kurokawa Onsen to Fukuoka/Kumamoto each day, so booking in advance is essential to avoid missing out!). This was very helpful.

The food was much more varied than at the neighboring Sanmizuki. The first night was kaiseki cuisine, and the second night was tomato and pork hot pot. Breakfast was different on both days, and the second day's meal included a complimentary drink. I recommend trying the perilla juice – it's delicious!

The room, although it's a 10-year-old hotel, is much newer than the neighboring Shanshuimu Hotel. The room facilities were okay; the bathroom had a slight odor on the first day, which the staff quickly fixed. However, the hairdryer was too old! Hopefully, they can replace it with a new one.

A truly perfect design and stay experience. The hotel boasts a luxurious size for a Japanese hotel, excellent service, a beautiful environment, and delicious food. A wonderful experience. Definitely worth staying here again.

Super good!

Good goof
