Ibusuki Shusuien in Ibusuki

A renowned hotel 6 minutes drive away from Ibusuki station and 3 minutes walk to Saraku Sand Bath. The hotel is well maintained and staff are friendly and professional. They have staff that speaks both Japanese and English, and there is a shuttle bus service from the station to the hotel. Within the hotel, there is a single bath area, shop for locally produced souvenirs, dining and lounge area. The kaiseki meals were also cooked well. Worth a visit if you are looking in the area 👍🏻

Their service is excellent as they assign a staff to follow through your stay there. She will manage your meal and room cleaning schedule and bowed to bye you when your leave. There is sand bath at ¥1500.

The hospitality upon arriving at the inn was great, and the food was absolutely delicious!
I was very satisfied with the delicious meals I was able to eat both in the evening and in the morning!
The sand bath was also just a 3-minute walk away!

I was very grateful that they were able to accommodate my last-minute request about my child's likes and dislikes.
The service staff were also highly skilled, making for a very comfortable stay. (Thank you, Kazuko ❤️)
However, while this is understandable given the size and location of the inn, I was disappointed that the open-air bath only offered a view of the sky.

The room was clean and the food was delicious!
The sand bath near the inn was also a very memorable experience.

The staff training for the staff seems to be thorough, and I was very satisfied with my stay as it was a comfortable one.

Although the smallest room type but have a terrace to see the sea view hotel lobby has a very beautiful mountain and water garden view although the hotel's foot bath and foot sand bath feels more discolored but the hot spring is very good check-in welcome drink staff will help carry luggage to the room and down the hotel car regularly picked up at JR station very good hotel's two meals are private room to eat very privacy

The room is clean and the food is very satisfying
The staff is friendly to customers
I am satisfied and leaving

It took a long time to choose a hotel in Ibusuki, and there were very few pictures and information about Xiu Sui En. However, after seeing netizens commenting that its kaiseki cuisine is its specialty, as foodies, we decided to book this hotel with the mentality of giving it a try, and the result! Really like it!
Service: Regarding the service, it is really a detail that only traditional Japanese hotels have. After we checked in, a pair of waiters came to pick us up and take us to the hot spring (private hot spring only costs about 100 yuan) and take us there. The restaurant (you must try the food, it is exquisite and delicious), the most surprising thing is that my slippers (fur slippers) were scorched and wet by the rain when I entered the door. I even jokingly asked my husband if they would see that my shoes were wet. Then help me dry it, otherwise I will have to wear wet shoes again the next day and end up going out the next morning! It was really dried (because one of them got smaller and shrunk hahaha, so it was definitely dried), and when we asked for any service, they would not ask us which room we were in, their waiters would remember us and serve us directly. We have arranged everything. Having said so much, we still have to experience it ourselves, haha.
