Myoken Ishiharaso

Everything exceeded our expectations here at Myoken Ishiharaso, from the onsen to the course meals, we couldn’t find faults with any aspect of our experience except for maybe adding women-only hours to the outdoor mixed bath and build walls and gendered fitting room!

Through our stay, we really get a sense that the establishment wanted to preserve nature and its most mature state. Although the whole ryokan is built right next to the riverbeds, the building structures are designed not to impede on trees, rocks and the river.

The onsen baths are of course the highlights here. Every bath offers its unique view to the river and a different experience of feeling at one with nature. The private paid onsen (at 1000 yen) was well worth the money with its unique LED lighting and an elevated view at the river.

The course dinner and breakfasts were hearty, creative and exceptional and so were the staff who served them. I couldn’t be more thankful to both the Japanese and Taiwanese staff for their outstanding hospitality and thoughtfulness. They even brought out digital translators to help explain the menu. Please give them a raise and more flexible work schedules!

Overall, I’d be back in a heartbeat!

Incredible!! It rained the whole time we were here and it was so atmospheric. Very stylish and pretty intimate setting. We emailed the hotel to get a taxi from the train station. We loved the little touches like the resting room with jazz playing and ice lollies, the s’mores station with liquor warming in a teapot.. the baths themselves were a little exposed to nature! But ladies were offered a cover (we didn’t really use). The private baths were easy to book. At night beware.. you are in nature, we saw some huge bugs. The food was INCREDIBLE.
Michelin level. we also arranged a massage in room in the morning. What a cool experience.

Never before have I experienced such an exciting hotel. Even though it is located in a quiet mountain area, you can feel the rich flow of the Amori River and the heartbeat of the earth.
There are shared baths and open-air baths that can be reserved by the hour, but we recommend the rooms with open-air baths.
For dinner and breakfast, you can fully enjoy the skills of the chef who prepares Kagoshima ingredients into special dishes. One of the main dishes, the salt-grilled cutlass fish, was grilled in a way that I had never eaten before, bringing out 200% of the deliciousness of the cutlass fish.
800€ to 10000€ per person per night and well worth it.

Excellent accommodations, comfortable beds, private onsen was very nice. Dinner and breakfast were creative and well executed.

They have own spring directly from underground, therefore the onsen water is wonderful. We can look at the river n enjoy it. Accommodation is wonder. They have a cat and it is very friendly. We will come back again. See you next time.

Felt like Four Seasons. Impeccable location, service and quality. Of course pricey 😅

Outdoor bath on river with family was the highlight.

This is the most high class hot spring I have ever been to. Wonderful atmosphere, good water, nice view.
For day use its only open from 11am to 3pm.

Amazing. The best Riverside hot spring in southern Kyushu. Fabulous lunch available too.

Beautiful ryokan

去年宿泊させてもらいました。とにかくお部屋の露天風呂がよすぎました！貸し切り風呂もよかったですが断然お部屋の露天風呂が最高すぎました。川の音をききながら新鮮なお湯の露天風呂。ごはんもとても美味しかったです。
旅館の方も親切丁寧でリピートしたいと思える宿でした。
また違う季節にお邪魔したいと思います。

前回宿泊してとても気に入ったので、前と同じ12月に２回目の訪問。やはりとても良い時間を過ごす事が出来ました。
お部屋に関しては、今回も1番シンプルな川沿いの和室。この建物の中でも多分1番古いのですが、キレイにメンテナンスされており、清潔感があって落ち着きます。ただ、1番リーズナブルなお部屋でも結構良い値段がするので、もう少し値段を抑えてくれると有難いかな。行くのには、どうしても飛行機とか交通費がかかってしまうので（私の勝手な感想ですね)。
お風呂の温泉は源泉かけ流し、泉質も言うこと無し！湯量も凄くパワーに溢れていて凄い。大満足！大浴場も定期的に清掃に入ってくれるので、いつ行っても整理されていて気持ち良い。
お料理に関しては、リピートした1番の理由で味も量もすばらしい。他のお宿で陥ってしまいがちな「美味しいけれど量が多くて苦しい。」と言う状況にならず、すごく上品な味付けで量も丁度で何より美味しい。今回もそうだったので、やっぱり間違い無かった！!石蔵の食事処のインテリアは面白いし、いい空間でなおさら気分が上がります。
敷地内には、冬なので薪ストーブや火鉢があって和みます。焚き火や炭火のいい香りや、火を見ながらゆったりとした時間が過ごせるので良い感じ。それに、鉄瓶のお湯で焼酎が自由に頂けたり、炭火での焼きマシュマロが楽しめてワクワク。
12月の今年1年頑張ったご褒美旅行、申し分なく満喫出来ました。
またリピート確定です！

文句なしです。
本州の人気エリアでしたら格安なのでは？と思う料金設定かと思います。
鹿児島という土地柄か、割と予約もとりやすい印象ですが、国内トップクラスの温泉旅館なのでは？と思います。

料理とサービスが圧倒的に丁寧です。
湯量、泉質も最高！

ランチ&お風呂で利用しました。
天降川の景色を堪能できる石蔵のお席で、季節感を存分に堪能できるお料理。味付けも繊細でわたし好み😋
食後の温泉は空いていて、露天風呂は貸切♨
タオルやアメニティも完備されていて、この為だけに東京から日帰りしたくなるクオリティでした👏
次回はぜひ、宿泊したいです⭐

7年ぶりの妙見石原荘。食事が美味かった記憶通り、今回もいいお味でした。2件目の宿も良かったですが、こちらに軍配上がります。
焼酎はボトルが結構まともな値段。5000取らないのは有り難いですね。居酒屋のボトルより安いかも。日本酒も品揃えいいですがお値段ちと高め。

風呂は玄関から出て別棟へ。野天風呂までだと地味に遠いので雨の時は面倒そう。貸し切り風呂は無料と有料1000円の二つあり、有料のほうは思ったより広い作り。
チェックアウトは11時なので、朝食後もゆっくり入れますが、サウナが15から23時までの利用になるのがちょっと残念。
