Kinkouro Koran no Yu is a 15-minute drive from Mount Uomidake and a 30-minute drive from Lake Ikeda. Chirin-shima Island is 800 metres from Uomi Port, which is a 10-minute drive away from the ryokan. A free shuttle is available in the evening to Saraku Sand Bath, which is a 15-minute drive away.

The service was outstanding! Every care was taken to assure we were comfortable and our plans were intact. This included picking us up at the train station at midnight after travel mishaps, helping us figure out taxi, busss, and train travel to a seaside Onsen, and calling ahead to our next destination to coordinate a shuttle. This is one of the few places that saw my long legs and immediately went to get a larger Yukata and slippers. The Onsens at the property were also first rate.

The air-conditioned rooms feature a safety deposit box, a fridge and an electric kettle with green tea bags. The en suite bathroom comes with a hairdryer. Guests can choose between Western-style and Japanese-style rooms.

The location was easy to walk to or catch a bus or ride a taxi. The Onsen and spa facilities were amazing. The restaurant served great food. The small shop had delicious ice creams and omiyagi. Our package included a Japanese breakfast which was delicious. We stayed in the newer part of the hotel. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and super helpful… even insisting on carrying our hiking packs for us! Would book again without hesitation.

    Sweet and clean little family Ryokan close to the harbour of Ibusuki, about half an hour walk from the hot sand spa. If you stay, you must have the excellent traditional Japanese food for dinner, that is prepared by the sweet and friendly hostess with a lot of love.

    Wonderfully warm and welcoming was Mr Hideaki and the ryokan staff. From train station drop and pick up to a tailored to our interests day tour of Ibusuki (so very well worth it) to restaurant recommendations to good stories sum up our stay! The place was clean, calm, located in walking distance to the famous the sand baths as well as multiple restaurants. The Japanese traditional breakfast was very good. The common bath area was very clean and well maintain! Overall splendid time, we could not have asked for more! Thank you Mr Hideaki!!

    Large comfortable room, friendly and very helpful hosts (we were picked up/dropped off at railway station on arrival/departure), bit out of main area, but centre of town only about 15 mins walk away. Host knows the area really well and can make recommendations on sights, day-trips, restaurants etc. We had the optional meal at the ryokan one night which was superb.

    Super friendly staff. Offered us a ride into town upon check in and gave us very valuable tips on where to go, what to eat and do in Ibusuki. The place comes with a private bookable onsen, which is perfect for couples.
