This was our first experience at a traditional onsen ryokan and we loved it. From the private onsen to the traditional breakfast and excellent care and service.

Overall, it was an okay stay. Everything felt pretty average for an onsen hotel... not bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. The room was decent, service was fine, and the location was convenient. The onsen itself worked well.. but that's all it's matter.. the natural hot spring..

Kunisakiso Ryocan was lovely. We ended our trip in Kyushu here, and it was very relaxing. We get to book a private bath, and the family bath is a first come first serve, so we split that between my dughter and I in the family bath whie my husband took the private bath - no bathing suits allowed. They also have a huge public bath, but my daughter would not have anything to do with that. After a few very heck days, our two night stay was a much needed rest. We missed the evening dinner reservation at the Ryocan, so the staff recommended Hama Sushi, a 5 min walk from the Ryocan. it was delicious and very reasonably priced. This spot was great because it is very close to the Hells of Beppu, which was the end of our tour from Hakata. It is a bit out of the way so we got a taxi to the YouMe mall where we found some great deals on clothing! Beppu is a much slower pace city compared to the hustle and bustle of the bigger centers. In the mist of summer, it is even more quiet, but that works to our advantage as we almost had the entire place to ourselves! The staffs were super nice and they served a delicious traditional breakfast which was greatly appreciated as this gabe is a glimpse of what lhelarhy ocals eat. We would definitely stay here again.

Super helpful staff and excellent breakfast.
