In the Hitoyoshi Onsen district of Hitoyoshi, close to Aoi Aso Shrine, Ryokan Marue Honkan features free bikes and a washing machine. This ryokan provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. The accommodation offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service for guests.

Everyone at the inn was very nice and accommodating. I was given several recommendations on things to see both within the Hitoyoshi area and at my next destination as well as on places to eat in the neighborhood. When I ended up holed up in my room all day for one of the days due to some sudden work I needed to get done, the staff made sure I still got basic cleaning without being disturbed. The bathing area was very nice and there were a few different interesting baths to try out, which made for a fun bathing experience. There were also washing machines available for laundry, as well as coin-operated dryers, so I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

    Beautiful Ryokan with public baths and a lovely familiar atmosphere, the owners are super nice and helped me a lot. Also the room I stayed in actually had a private toilet and sink. Hitoyoshi is a really cute town full of history and folklore, I really had a great time there.

    The property is beautiful! Highly recommend. It’s a traditional old ryokan with tatami rooms and a wonderful outdoor hot springs for guests - as well as indoor hot springs. When the rooms say shared bathroom, they just mean these shared communal baths (very typical at Japanese ryokan) but you still get your own toilet, sink and dressing area in the rooms. The breakfasts we had were also amazing. We were so full! And big thanks to the owner who always came over to say hello and chat after breakfast - she was lovely.
