Hotels near Ihei Yamamoto House

"It’s actually one of the most ridiculously overpriced onsen hotel I have ever been. We travel around Japan and have been living in many similar styled ryokans and rarely run into such disappointments. The hotel obviously has dinner option. But neither Expedia nor the hotel provide proper communication for such option. ( Just for comparison, for other hotels that are over 100,000 Yen / night, we always get email communications from the hotels about potential options pre arrival dates). We arrived at the hotel and then being told that we have no dinner because we didn’t choose it. I mean…I need to know about the options first before I can choose it right ? just one email about dinner options is highly appreciated especially considering the prices that we are paying. Also, there is absolutely nothing in the room fridge. The last hotel we stayed before this one provides 17 types of complimentary drinks… so you can tell the differences. And the so called onsen is basically just a bathtub in the yard. Hotel recommended us to a nearby sushi place for dinner and it’s nasty. The sushi maker took in cash bills by bare hands and went back to make sushi for us without even washing his hands. I would probably pay 1/3 or 1/2 of the prices for this place. It’s not a bad place. But it’s definitely not worth the price. 200USD/night max for the quality of the facilities and services. It’s awful that we paid close to 700 USD/ night for this. Don’t go"

"Right by the beach, good property"

"5 stars for the owners kindness and hospitality. He drove us to a supermarket to buy some food, took us to Aoshima and drove us to the airport the day we left. He was super friendly offer to the photos and help us make our trip pleasant. We stayed in the trailer. It was the first time to stay in a trailer for my wife and son. They loved it and I am sure it will be a great family memory for all of us. オーナーの親切さとおもてなしに星5つです。私たちをスーパーまで車で連れて行ってくれたり、青島まで案内してくれたり、出発の日には空港まで送ってくれました。とてもフレンドリーで、写真を撮ってくれたり、旅を快適に過ごせるようにいろいろと助けてくれました。私たちはトレーラーに宿泊しました。妻と息子にとっては初めてのトレーラー体験でしたが、とても気に入って、家族みんなの素敵な思い出になったと思います。"

"We only stayed here for one night just for a stop over so we didn’t expect much. It was cheap and surprisingly very spacious. The best part was that the futons provided were the most comfortable futons that I’ve slept on during my trip. Wish we stayed longer, it had a really honey and camp feel which I really liked compared to the busy city hotels we’ve stayed at. The service was great too, we came late in the night because we had to drive down and we still had someone greet us with a warm welcome. If I ever come back to Kyushu I will stay here longer."
