Very nice hotel - classic Japanese ryokan, hospitable hosts, several types of wonderful onsen. Wonderful view from the window of the soaring landscape, sea and mountains.

[Kunisakiso Ryokan Review] Kunisakiso is a ryokan with a refined charm that allows you to fully experience Japanese tradition. Below is a review that summarizes the touching moments I personally experienced. 1. The kindness and attentive service of the staff One of the biggest charms of Kunisakiso is the kindness of the staff. From check-in to check-out, the meticulous service and smiles that greeted me were impressive, and I was able to stay comfortably throughout my stay. 2. Excellent kaiseki cuisine The kaiseki set meal provided at 8,000 yen per person was more than worth it. - 5 kinds of appetizers: I could feel the variety of flavors and the delicacy of Japanese tradition. - First main dish: Fresh sashimi was served in a wooden bowl shaped like a panokseon, which was visually stunning. - Second main dish: High-quality seafood and sweet potatoes were served in a basket, creating a harmony of warmth and luxury. -Sukiyaki: With its soft and rich flavor, I was able to taste the essence of Japanese cuisine. -Fried food: Three kinds of fried food were provided, and among them, the pufferfish fried food was by far the best. The texture was very soft like the texture of chicken leg meat. -Dessert black sesame pudding: With a unique texture and taste reminiscent of Hershey's Cookies and Cream, I was able to finish the meal perfectly. -In addition, there were various traditional Japanese high-class dishes in the course. 3. Various hot spring experiences Kunisakiso's hot spring facilities consist of a family bath, a rooftop private hot spring, and a large bath, each offering different charms. Family bath: An open-air bath made of wood located outside the ryokan, surrounded by walls on all sides, but with an open ceiling, allowing you to feel the natural air. Rooftop private hot spring: A space that offers a unique and special experience, which I was able to use privately for 50 minutes after making a reservation. Thanks to the limited facilities, I was able to enjoy private time. Bath: A traditional Japanese public bath style, where you can soak your body leisurely. 4. Breakfast Breakfast also had a wide variety of traditional Japanese meals, and it was the first time I had such a full breakfast. In particular, the taste of the cube-shaped cut squid was unparalleled. 5. View The view from Kunisaki-sou was very satisfying. The amount of steam that could be seen outside the window was so great that I thought each house had a steam locomotive. Also, you can always see a large amount of hot spring steam coming out of the drain outside the ryokan. Overall evaluation Kunisaki-sou is the best choice for those who want to experience the essence of traditional Japanese culture. The food, hot springs, and service all work in perfect harmony to create unforgettable travel memories. This is a ryokan in Beppu that I definitely want to visit again.
