What guests think

At Ryokojin Sanso, travelers consistently praise the serene forest setting with wide views of Sakurajima, the abundant hot spring options including private outdoor baths, and warm, helpful staff, while noting an older, retro property feel and occasional dining variability.

Many highlight clean, well-kept baths and rooms despite the age, plus quiet grounds with walking trails, library spaces, and an observatory. The location feels remote and is easiest by car; a free shuttle from the bus stop helps, while public transport can be time-consuming. Expect a tranquil, nature-focused stay with attentive hospitality.

The hot springs, including private ones, are amazing (and sulphurous), and so are the views from the hotel. The food is simple and good, both at dinner and at breakfast. On the other hand, rooms have cheesy smell to them, probably from mold; wifi is very weak.

Amazing experience but a bit odd… we took public transportation which I would not recommend. It took most of the day to get to from Fukuoka. With bad storms, the local train service was temporarily cancelled. Given we had no car and the ground was very wet there was nothing to do but stay put. The hotel staff was very friendly and tried to help us navigate our journey back. The onsen experience was our first and was amazing. Overall the property is very dated and sleepy. The food was disappointing but the dining room views were stunning!

Merveilleux séjour. Pensez à réserver votre bain privé auprès du ryokan. Communication par mail excellente. Nous y avons très bien mangé. C'était très copieux. Personnel très bien dans l'ensemble et certaines personnes sont même chaleureuses. J'ai pu échanger avec une serveuse sur nos habitudes alimentaires en France et le reps qu'on nous proposait. Belle conversation. Le bain privé est super et le bain publique aussi. Atmosphère propice à la détente. Navette gratuite de l'arrêt de bus à l'hôtel. Bagagerie gratuite à l'office de tourisme de Maruo. Le personnel de l'hôtel a transporté nos affaires pour 9h à l'office du tourisme, car nous ne pouvions pas les emmener nous même (départ de rando à 8h30 oblige). Fabuleux séjour !

Ryokan chargé d’histoire, agréable à vivre avec espaces de détente et de repos, bibliothèque et très bel emplacement dans les bois avec vue sur le Sakurajima. Le choix des onsens, la possibilité de les privatiser, la cuisine excellente

朝夕ともに　食事は美味しく気持ちよくいただきました高齢の母は　ふだんから外食は量が多く残すことが多かったのに珍しくほぼ食べたことに私達家族はびっくりしました温泉は　泉質温度もちょうど良く　ゆったりと浸かることができました人気の旅館で　予約がなかなかとれませんがぜひまた　利用したいと思います

Very peaceful and quiet. Very good hot spring baths and the food was outstanding. Staff was very courteous and provided transportation to and from the hotel and bus stop.

Amazing experience but a bit odd… we took public transportation which I would not recommend. It took most of the day to get to from Fukuoka. With bad storms, the local train service was temporarily cancelled. Given we had no car and the ground was very wet there was nothing to do but stay put. The hotel staff was very friendly and tried to help us navigate our journey back. The onsen experience was our first and was amazing. Overall the property is very dated and sleepy. The food was disappointing but the dining room views were stunning!

Peaceful & relaxing environment which is wonderful. Staff are polite & helpful. Breakfast is good but dinner’s portion is insufficient even for a normal diet lady. Seems guests must order additional dishes to make up a full dinner. Should be even better in case there is routine shuttle bus schedule taking guests to area near tourists centre.

The hot springs, including private ones, are amazing (and sulphurous), and so are the views from the hotel. The food is simple and good, both at dinner and at breakfast. On the other hand, rooms have cheesy smell to them, probably from mold; wifi is very weak.

The dinner set quality has room to improve and onsen amenities are not sufficient and with little varieties.

We saw a family of deer leisurely having their breakfast while we enjoying hot springs in the forest , our breakfast tasty and rich for enough to fill up , the most thoughtful touch was that they prepared fragrant, still warm onsen eggs and water for us when we check out, it was truly heartwarming. Thank you very much!
