Kafutei

思い出しました English: On Saturday, April 15th we stayed at the Folk Crafts Harmony Room "Asagao" on the second floor. The guest room lacked an open feeling and was somewhat dimly lit, and the bedding on the bed was worn out, so it wasn't exactly modern, but the good quality of the hot spring and the amazing food more than made up for the negative impression of the room. The hot spring is an alkaline, simple, weakly radioactive hot spring that feels smooth and clings to the skin. The large communal bath and open-air bath, where the water flows directly from the source, are well maintained and feel very comfortable, and the quality of the water is one of the best I have experienced in Kyushu. From the open-air bath you can see the landscape of the green countryside, and there are terrace chairs set up as well. There is also a sauna, which is always well kept and well maintained whenever you use it. We ate both dinner and breakfast in the dining room on the first floor. Each seat is a booth to ensure privacy, and there is also terrace seating. The menu is well thought out and all dishes are served fresh. The presentation was excellent, and the sashimi and salt-grilled yamame trout were both delicious and looked great. The horse meat sashimi, unique to Kumamoto, was also excellent, and the marbled horse meat was of very high quality. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay and was able to relax. I think it's surprising in a way that there is such a wonderful inn in such a rural area.
