Marvelous stay and unforgettable experience
Pros:

A simply magical experience spending a day in Kirishima and being gifted with the hospitality and warmth by Yuki, the owner of the brilliant guesthouse. All of the reviews are true but you can only understand what it truly is when you come here yourself. I will be impatiently waiting for the day I can come back.

Pros:

とても清潔に整えてあって気持ちよく使わせていただきました。
レンタカーで鹿児島県内観光のため３連泊。
ガソリンスタンドが目と鼻の先で便利✨
寝に帰るような毎日でしたが、外で温泉を楽しんでここに戻ってからも風呂場の蛇口をひねると源泉を楽しめ、朝は、出かける前に足湯を楽しんだり贅沢な日々✨
平屋の小さなお宅をリフォームされたものなので、台所、お風呂、トイレが部屋から近くて快適！
朝や帰宅してからの同宿の方やオーナーさんとの会話も楽しませていただきました。

またぜひ泊まりたいお宿です^⁠_⁠^

Please stay here
Pros:

À great place

Cons:

My error, cannot change my previous post, I think that maybe the shower was in part my misunderstanding. All was good and hot today.

施設は総じてうつくしい

ホストのユキさんは予約した瞬間からチェックアウトした後までとてつもなく親切で　いつも全力でプロの仕事をされています
その上　フレンドリーで誠実なお人柄　
ドラマティックな人生経験に加えて　世界中の人たちとの交流を通じて得た無限の引き出しから繰り広げられる楽しいお話
スペシャルな時間を過ごさせていただきました

足湯/温泉は美容液レベルです
近隣の温泉にも行きましたが　こちらの泉質が圧倒的にすばらしかったです

Amazingly clean and tidy, but still welcoming and comfortable
Pros:

The host was very engaging and helpful. We don't drink alcohol, but there was a selection of local drinks available for free sampling, which looked very nice. The entire place was immaculate and the attention to detail was truly impressive. On the surface, it was a totally ordinary house in a very ordinary neighborhood, but Tomoyuki-san, the host, managed to transform it into something amazing. The foot bath on the veranda of the larger room was a really nice touch. The futons were also very comfortable. If you're not on too tight a budget, I definitely recommend renting both guest rooms for added privacy. We were a group of four, so it was perfect for us, but it might have been a little tight for two different parties in the two rooms if they didn't already know each other.

何回でも泊まりたい
Pros:

とても清潔、内装おしゃれ、設備充実で、大変快適に過ごせました。自由に使えるキッチンが素晴らしい。また、部屋の外についている常時源泉掛け流しの足湯も素晴らしかった。家庭用浴室でも源泉入浴できそれも嬉しかったです。泉質よかったです。
ホストの方が大変親切、心からもてなしてくださって、また気さくな方でキッチンでお話できて楽しかったです。
近くに大きな日帰り温泉、食事処、コンビニ、すぐ前にホットモット、空港からのバス停があり便利。
チェックアウト日は荷物も預けられました。

Cons:

何もありません。全て良かった。

Pros:

Yuki is super friendly and thought maul to his guests, I received a warmest greeting from him and careful introduction to all facilities in the guest house. The traditionally Japanese room with tatami is confortable and warm, every corner in the house is tidy, and cat is super cute!
I enjoyed my stay here and will definitely recommend people come and visit!
Most importantly, foot bath is worthy to try!
