Kujukogen Ginga No Yado Kinoko IIseigo

This was a great stay with a local family that runs an inn in the hills outside Taketa. The innkeeper is a friendly older gentleman who can speak some English, but mainly communicates using his online translation app. He is very interested in getting to know the people who stay at his place and initiates conversation to learn more about you. In this way, he is culturally different than many other Japanese people, who are more reserved. Our main purpose for coming to the area was to see Drum Tao, and their location is a 30-minute walk from the inn. We didn't have a car during our trip and took a taxi from Bungo-Taketa, but the innkeeper was willing to drive us to Tao and also to a restaurant a short ways down the road. The innkeeper has also built an observatory on the property and if it is a clear night, he'll invite guests to come and look through his very impressive telescope. On the night we were there, we were able to see the moon, Mars, Jupier, several stars, and the Orion Nebula through the telescope. Not something you get at a standard hotel.

The family makes you very welcome. Excellent location for visiting the major attractions. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. An Onzen is also on site. It's a pity that it was raining most of the time

We have changed our plan and have not drive for this trip. The hotel location is at remote area and we totally do not know how can we arrive the hotel. We cannot find the way to the hotel, we have sent emails to hotel many many times few days before our arrival date, but got totally no response from hotel. We have data card only, but do not have the workable telephone in Japan. Very very disappointed !!! We don't know whether we can get any refund of hotel fare or not ? We need to book another hotel that night.

周圍環境很舒服與大自然相當親近，民宿老伯伯非常非常親切，提供手稿介紹周邊遊玩地方與餐廳，並在晚間時透過天文臺介紹星空與月球，非常特別體驗且愉快，溝通雖然不太順暢，老伯伯仍透過翻譯系統向我們說明。 美中不足是，居住的房間在抵達時才告知外邊整修中，但仍請我們入住，退房時間早上10點但8點就開始施工，導致無法好好休息。

この度の熊本旅行で貴宿を選ばせていただき、心より感謝申し上げます。お部屋の快適さとハード面の設備は、私たちの期待をはるかに超えるものでした。特に、寒い季節にもかかわらず、十分に暖かさが保たれており、とても深く感銘を受けました。 さらに、観星体験では想像を超える素晴らしい時間を過ごさせていただきました。この旅の中で、観星ができるとは思いもよらないサプライズで、私も母も大変驚き、喜びました。おかげさまで、私たち全員が非常に満足し、楽しいひとときを過ごすことができました。 また、朝食もとても美味しく、量も十分で、母とともにお腹いっぱいになるほどいただきました。選ぶことができ、本当に幸運でした。いつか台湾の友人たちにも、ぜひ貴宿をお勧めしたいと思っております。 この度は、本当にありがとうございました。今後のご発展を心よりお祈り申し上げます

旅館主人是一位很有禮貌及熱情的伯伯，熱心詳細的講解旅館安排及周圍飯店資料，更加插夜間觀星環節，體驗黑夜星空的浪漫。 旅館環境很優美，被樹木包圍，內有很大片美麗的草地。旅館的房屋也很有歐陸風格，十分整潔！ 另外有溫泉提供，，加上各方面景觀，十分寫意的體驗！
