Ryokan was built in 1975, still remains old Japanese traditional style. Those people who like old Japanese will feel it comfortable, however others should chose updated accommodation. We will keep on this style for the guests like old Japanese things. In-house 2 hot spring bath rooms can be used for private, is pleasant for our guests.
I and my family came back from Tokyo in 2010 because my father passed away. I was born here in 1966, and had lived in Tokyo for 20 years. I have traveled all through Japan. I got to know how fabulous place Ibusuki is caused I lived and travel other places. I want to make your trip so special, please talk to me anything you want during your stay. All of us always welcome you on our own style.
Ibusuki city has a great viewing with seaside walking area, and rich of hot springs and unique hot sand bath. By car or public buses, you can visit southern-most area, cape Nagasakibana, Nishi-Oyama station with lovely yellow post and flowing noodle park for your lunch. If you want to enjoy around Ibusuki city, you should stay at least 2 days. We will do our best so that your stay turn be best with our support.
