Shiroyama Elementary School Tours

Simple and affordable traditional onsen ryokan. Good experience. Do note that this ryokan does not offer dining options hence you may want to consider other options if you are looking for a full onsen ryokan experience. Also note it would be better to know a bit of Japanese in order to communicate with the staff.

We love the decor. I was blessed to run into an older woman who showed me some of the phongraphs and music boxes in the lobby. They have an old Toyota car out front that is beautiful. The coffee area was a nice place to take a break and read. We stayed in the traditional room which had tatami mats and futons. The air conditioning worked great fighting the Kyushu humid summer. The only drawback was the water pressure. Overall it was low and I think they rely on the hot spring for water so it takes a while for the water to warm.
