An amazing property nestled at the edge of the Kujลซ Mountains and just east of the town of Kurokawa Onsen.
Check-in with the staff was welcoming and seamless. After an explanation of the hotel services and layout, the front desk helped us select a spot for dinner in town and called in our reservation. It was much appreciated after a day of touring the Aso-Kujลซ National Park region by car. Our room was spotless and spacious. The inn-provided clothing and amenities were great. The private, hot-springs bath was the obvious highlight in the room. It provided such a calming spot for a soak. And the surrounding setting amongst the mountain hills was so tranquil.
Our time at Satonoyu-Waraku was truly splendid!
I wouldn't go there again. The room was clean though aged. We slept well, the private onsen was nice and the food was pretty good if you liked shellfish, raw fish, etc. But it was expensive and not worth the money. Not because they don't provide the amenities but just how the whole space is laid out and how the service came across. I can't put my finger on it.
Don't use the public bath here if you are curious to try. It is bare minimum and in shambles.
