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.

Tout était magnifique, la chambre était énorme avec une belle vue sur la rivière. L'hôtel est superbe. Une sorte de ryokan moderne. Ce qui m'a moins plus: Je n'ai pas eu droit au Onsen à cause de mon petit tatouage sur l'avant bras (je savais que c'était possible, donc pas de soucis.) Mais au check-out, on m'a fait payer une taxe pour les bains... Je me suis senti arnaqué
