A lot of small restaurants within 5 to 10 min. drive to explore for lunch.||We have been to quite a few other Ryokans ( all with private in room hot spring bath ) in Kyushu before . Bettei Soan is definitely among the top five Ryokans in Kyushu ! We will go back !||Three weeks after we left , on 14 April and 16 April 2016 , Minamiaso-mura and Kumamoto area and around were struck by serious earth quakes . Cheer up all the people in Kyushu especially in the aera affected by the quakes ! ||For those in heaven , Rest In Peace ! ||For the people of Kyushu - All the very very best !...

Bettei Soan was an ultra luxurious all villa onsen resort situated in the southern part of Mt Aso region. It was the most luxurious resort we stayed for our recent Kyushu trip. Note that there were two sister properties side-by-side in this resort - one was the Hotel Yumeshizuku (hotel room style resort); the other was the Bettei Soan (all villa resort).||||Our villa was luxurious, spacious and beautifully decorated. The villa (single level) included an entrance foyer, a sleeping quarter, a living/dining area, a huge private onsen with bath and an outdoor balcony.||||We really felt very pampered for our 2 nights stay in this resort as the kaiseki dinners and breakfasts were all served inside the villa itself. The service was excellent and yet not obtrusive at all. The staff would ask us for our preferred dining timing and the service was punctual. And we just needed to dial for the staff to come clear the table after desserts. ||||The only let down was that there was no wifi in the villa. So we had to walk 2 mins next door to Hotel Yumeshizuku's main lobby to get internet access.||||It is advisable to opt for a single level villa as the double-storey one has sleeping quarters upstairs while bathroom is downstairs. This could pose some inconvenience during the night if you need to use...
