It was the perfect gateway into our Ryokan/onsen experience with beautiful & spacious accommodations in a super private and relaxing setting. Having our own onsen with view of the mountains was an absolute dream after a week in the big cities.
The attentive staff were exceptional and brought dinner to our room that we cooked over the coals for a unique experience.
Overall an incredible retreat to come back to after a busy day of onsen hopping. Truly a first class experience!
The best onsen hotel that we ever stayed at! the room is huge and hospitality was outstanding! also, dinner was very delicious as well! highly recommend this onsen hotel
We had the most amazing stay at Gekkoujyu, the service is impeccable, food is delicious and the rooms are beautiful. The private onsen and the onsens available by booking are all amazing! Highly recommend it for the most relaxing, pampering experience!
It is a nice place with both indoor and open air hot spring for relax. The meal and foods are fresh and delicious. Excellent service. I can enjoy my holiday with my friends during stay. I would like to recommend to my friends also.
Very luxurious ryokan! The food was plentiful and delicious and the sky onsen views were incredible. The private onsens in our room was very roomy too! The whole experience was wonderful and the service was very good. Our main server, Divas, was very polite and attentive. The stocked minibar and check out present (packed lunch) were a very nice touch.

Staff was wonderful!! Chen San and Kojima San made the whole stay! Property and grounds were magnificent! Food was marginal…beautifully presented but some items way over cooked,some way under cooked. All in all, a very memorable stay! Will be back! Domo arigato gozaimashta!
Nice, lots of privacy.
Limited English. I don’t think they want to cater to westerners, other than the dinner menu nothing else is translated. I had a hard time with the a/c control which is all in japonese.
The private baths are great.
The food was wonderful on the first night but not as good on the second , same with breakfast.
Overall enjoyable.
Nice sophisticated ryokan. Attention to detail.
My first dinner and breakfast were wonderful , second
Wasn’t as good. The a/c was right over my bed so the air blows at the bed, not too comfortable. The bed sinks in the middle.
We took a taxi from Kumamoto, it took 2 hours.
The private baths were great.
There are no snacks in the rooms and nothing to order, bring some !
Only 8 rooms so lots of privacy.
Friendly staff and accommodative chef that customize our meals so to our special dietary request

The property, experience, and staff was wonderful. It was very peaceful and quiet. The staff was accommodating and friendly. The private onsen and site onsens, plus the food experience makes it well worth the price. We also enjoyed the drive from Beppu.
We stayed in the Yumemi room . It was spacious and beautifully designed traditional and modern mixed Japanese space. Loved the wooden beams and the private indoor and outdoor onsen. I highly recommend this place. Make sure to have the Kaiseki meal if you haven’t experienced it yet!
