The front staff was not all that welcoming. Not friendly for the rather high end hotel. The shower head was broken,whichnI reported to the front.

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.

아침을 먹었는데, 빵과 커피는 없고, 완전 일본식 아침이네요. 그점이 좀 불만이었어요. 일본식 아침과 서양식 아침을 선택할수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 그점이 불만...다른건 괜찮았어요.
