Dinner was Western food, but the Oita beef stew in red wine was very delicious. The other dishes were also beautifully presented and I was satisfied. The bread that came out for dinner was freshly baked, warm and very delicious.  Japanese food looks very delicious, but if I stay next time, I would like to try Western food again. We also enjoyed a full course of local beer, red wine, and white wine. A coffee grinder and dripper are provided in your room so you can make your own coffee. I feel healed when I spin the mill.  The large public bath is a carbonated spring with a high iron content, but I was able to take a very pleasant bath. There is no sauna, but I am very satisfied. The weather wasn't great this time, but if you stay overnight on a clear day, I think you'll be able to see the Milky Way. 

I originally booked this hotel for the convenience of going to Mount Aso, but I didn't realize that the volcano had been closed for some time. This hotel is located in a far outskirts, but the facilities are very good and the environment is beautiful. When we arrived, the owner was very enthusiastic and explained. We didn't understand Japanese, so he translated to us on the phone. The hot spring is in another room, and there were not many guests that night. Our family could enjoy one hot spring room, and everyone was very satisfied. The room is large, with one bed per person and complete facilities. The breakfast the next day was Western-style and very rich. The bakery owner who couldn't finish it packed it for us and took it away. No food was wasted. Very good service.  There is also an astronomical telescope on the grassland. Unfortunately, it was very cloudy that night, so there was no chance to see the stars. No wonder the hotel has ”Galaxy” as its name. I think you can see the Milky Way in the sky when the weather is good. I hope to have the opportunity to come back next time. Fortunately, Mount Aso suddenly opened again after checking out, and we actually saw the volcano!

This hot spring hotel has been the highlight of my entire trip. The rooms and buildings are designed with a strong infusion of Japanese culture, immersing guests in an authentic ambience. Every corner of the hotel exudes warmth and significance, urging you to savor its beauty. The open-air hot springs are truly unforgettable, allowing you to relax while surrounded by breathtaking natural scenery. During the night, the starry sky adds an indescribable charm to the experience, creating memories that will last a lifetime. The culinary experience at this hotel is also exceptional. They offer a selection of local dishes that are both delicate and delicious, providing a true taste of the region's flavours. My only regret is not booking three consecutive nights at this extraordinary hotel. It's truly an oasis of tranquillity and cultural immersion that should not be missed.”
