Beautiful room, friendly staff. Location next to the river, which gives extra tranquility to your stay. We had a room with private bath, which temperature you can adjust to your liking. Rooms have more than enough space, refreshments were available to use (water, tea and coffee). Hotel is 10min walking distance from the bus stop (hotel will pick you up when you arrive + bring you back), also 10min to the town centre with all the shops. Kaiseki dinner (14 small courses) and breakfast was included. You get the option to choose between beef or non-beef (chicken and pork) for dinner, no vegan only option. All meals at dinner are shortly explained in English, aside from Japanese. Staff helps with explanation and needs (English and Japanese).

After seeing the village, we felt very content about getting one of the best and cosy ryokans, the mossy forest was a highlight for us and the baths were beautiful. The staff offered to pick and drop us off at the bus stop and greeted us at the door, very friendly and polite. ♡ The food was also great too, i am still wondering how the chef got even a subtle piece of watermelon to taste so good, impressive.

I really like the traditional Japanese-style rooms at the Japanese inn. There was also a small hot spring bath in the room I stayed in this time, which was great! The meals provided by the hotel are also delicious. It's a pity to stay only for one night. I really want to stay a few more nights! I will definitely visit again if I have the chance.

Absolutely awesome room for four people, we had a bedroom and a living room, amazing dinner (like for real I have been to several ryokans and this hot pot and the candied egg yolk was impressive) the service was great, everyone was very nice, they parked our car for us (as the city streets are tiny that was a relief) and we even have been able to book the private bath for free! It really exceeded all our expectations.

    Shinmeikan is a truly amazing ryokan/ onsen. The whole building just oozes authenticity. Great tatami style rooms overlooking the river, super friendly staff who will help you with all your needs. Great onsen baths, especially the cave bad is spectacular. Dinner and breakfast are equally high quality and display a variety of Japanese cuisine. Absolute perfect place if you want to experience traditional Japanese onsen style ryokan.

    We had an unforgettable family stay at a traditional Ryokan in Japan. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who made us feel right at home. The serene atmosphere of the Ryokan, with its beautiful tatami rooms , and peaceful environment, provided the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Our family enjoyed the delicious kaiseki meals served in Ryokan and loved relaxing in the private onsen. We highly recommend this Ryokan to families looking for a unique and authentic Japanese experience.

    The cave onsen was a unique experience. They have private indoor n outdoor hot springs for booking. The English speaking female non-japanese staff was very friendly and pleasant. The ryokan also sent us to the bus stop when they learnt we are taking the bus to Hakata. Dinner was served around a fire place, giving a warm, fuzzy feel.
