Sen-No-Mori

Wonderful stay at this ryokan - amazing food, staff and scenery!

なんとも贅沢な空間でしょう。 広大な敷地に3棟の離れ。他のお客さんにもほぼ会うこともなく、静寂を存分に味わうことが可能です。 スタッフの皆さんもとても丁寧で心ゆくまでリラックスできる宿です。

Avoid - not worth the price Very uncomfortable stay. The biggest issue was that unfortunately the entire room smelt of damp and mould during the whole stay. The rooms need to be ventilated properly. The rooms are also very dated (looks nothing like the photos) and some fixtures are broken to the point of being dangerous. E.g; nail sticking out and frayed electrical cords. Food is below average, and service minimal. The hotel entrance is very difficult to see, and we were given no directions before check-in. One staff member speaks some English which was ok, however no English guide was provided at all in the room. We paid 130,000 yen, we expected a lot more for that price. There are many more great onsen in the area, avoid this.

設備は満足、料理は普通。 （＋居心地の良い素敵なお宿でした。温泉ではなかったですが、お風呂と岩盤浴が気持ち良かったです。）

Sennomori is unique If you want a secluded quiet and peaceful place to be a private paradise, this is the place for you. The facilities the staff and the food are absolutely first class. If you add the incredible setting, you will have everything you need for a perfect stay

自然に囲まれた離れで、大変リラックスした時間を過ごすことができました。 温泉ではないものの阿蘇の水で柔らかいため、肌がしっとりしました。岩盤浴も暑すぎず、長時間いてじんわり汗をかく感じで気持ち良かったです。
