Lovely stay at Ayunosato

Beautiful view of the Kumagawa river from the lobby. You can even see it while taking the elevator! Great service (they provide transfers from Hitoyoshi station to the ryokan and back) and hospitable staff. Tourist spots like Aoi Aso Shrine and Hitoyoshi Castle Ruins and Museum are within walking distance. Will love to stay here again when I come back to Hitoyoshi.

The front staff was not all that welcoming. Not friendly for the rather high end hotel. The shower head was broken,whichnI reported to the front.

宿の前を流れる球磨川の眺めが良く、静かで気持ちの良い宿だ。2020年の大水害でこのホテルも被災したようだが、その傷跡も癒え、地下のギャラリーの写真に名残を留めるだけになっている。まずは良かった。焼酎バーでの無料の各種焼酎の振舞いは嬉しい。
