We stayed here in Apr 2024. The view at the reception area was amazing. The outdoor onsen was small but comfortable. The room size was great for 2 people. There was a super friendly cat at the carpark and he/she greeted us every time we drove in/out.

I'm giving a high rating for the warmth and hospitality of the host. She was very welcoming despite my delayed arrival, and immediately asked if I had eaten and then served me fresh homemade dumplings. She also took me to her favourite onsen with her daughter and friends, and offered me use of her bicycle. It felt a truly authentic experience. The host also speaks Chinese.
The room is like a homestay so is no frills. It feels lived in and very comfortable. I shared a bathroom with the host and her family and it felt like I was a part of the household.
I would stay again.

The hotel offer black sand bath (at 1,100 yen) and onsen. There are a lot of different style of yukata for ladies to choose from. Dinner was delicious with a Japanese pork set and some other buffet option. The sea view was nice.
Ibusuki is a wonderful location with great food, great...
Ibusuki is a wonderful location with great food, great beaches and even better people.
On first look it may look like it has had it’s high tide many years ago, there is so much potential and there are projects in place to rejuvenate and inspire. A new beach is being created to capitalise on the existing beautiful white beach a 10min walk from the station.
Also! World famous award-winning ramen just 200m from the station at Menya Jiro (New Yorkers may already know that name).
Enjoy the unique to Ibusuki volcanic sand bath and cross the street for a simple and tasty meal at Angel or grab some tasty treats at the store downstairs.
Sadly, the best beaches are private at overpriced and stuck-in-the-80s hotels so stay at Kokoro-no-Yado for a reasonably priced spa experience with a walk across a sandbar to the island of Chiranjima. Then hit the beach I mentioned earlier and bring a parasol or anything for shade and enjoy the sparkling water.
Visit Ibusuki, walk around and see what it was and can be. Support Ibusuki. I think you’ll agree it’s worth your time.

Not much to see here.
Not much to see here. On the one evening we wandered through the streets the city seemed deserted and empty. The only real attraction is the sand bath. But as stated on there website you are not allowed to use them when you are menstruating. Why that is I do not know. I feel it is very ignorant and intolerant. The warm sand could be very beneficial to people with period cramps. Menstruating is not dirty or unhygienic.
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 Staff was very welcoming and helpful, starting with kindly greeting us at Ibusuki train station and generously providing a ride to the ryokan. Loved the traditional tatami room and wonderful hot springs (even with a private bath area). The owner was very responsive to communication via Booking message app and also has very strong English so all went smoothly. Breakfast on site was very good and convenient since restaurants are primarily near the station.
Our stay here definitely exceeded expectations, with this ryokan rating as our best stay in Kyushu over the 10 days we visited. Staff were very helpful on check in and departure. Parking worked nicely. Dinner was outstanding and the staff who helped explain the kaiseki meal to us were fantastic. Our room had views looking out to sea, which was special. The onsen was nice too. All in all a great stay!
The owner is super nice and cool! I really like that guy! There are plenty of bathrooms and showers - all clean. The beds were pretty comfortable, and you can tell some forethought went into the construction of the beds. The location is great! Super close to Ibusuki Station, the one and only sand onsen, and a few great restaurants. It feels really safe and is a great value for what you get.
Ibusuki was a bit too quiet (not a single sand bath open) when we visited but our stay at Kawakyu was what made it a good trip. You get to bathe in onsen water when you arrive, a few meters away from your room. The ryokan hosts were very nice and helped with rides, as it's tricky to go around without a car. Overall we're very happy to have picked this place.
Nice remote area of Japan worth exploring off the beaten tourist path.
Quiet , relaxing, beautiful view of bay.
Love the “onsen” - especially the outside bath sitting over cliff edge. Not talking about the pool. Which is very rudimentary- small wading pool only.
Staff is very nice and super helpful.
The food at the hotel is of high quality, offering a culinary experience that is truly exceptional. The private onsen provides a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat. Additionally, the staff members are incredibly kind and attentive, ensuring that every guest feels welcomed and well-cared for.
The hotel is located in a beautiful natural setting, on the seafront and with spectacular views. The hotel staff treated us very kindly and helped us with everything we needed. They even picked us up and took us to the station when we left. They made us feel at home! Highly recommended
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.
Great location on foot from sand bath, onsen, restaurants, konbini. Nice and responsive host: clear instructions, restaurant recommendations and very kind. We were by car, there was parking reserved for one car. Recommend this place if you visit Ibusuki!
The place is amazing not too far from the train station and the amenities are awesome and relaxing and. couple / family friendly . We love the onsen and sauna rooms and the restaurant food especially the chicken inside the onsen building is a must try .
The hotel offer black sand bath (at 1,100 yen) and onsen. There are a lot of different style of yukata for ladies to choose from. Dinner was delicious with a Japanese pork set and some other buffet option. The sea view was nice.
Fantastic retro style hotel. Lovely staff, great rooms, delicious breakfast buffet. We did the supplemental sand baths which I'd highly recommend to anyone. Gorgeous views and great price. Would 100% come back and stay again.
Pro - offer unique hot sand onsen until 9pm, must try. Room is clean, specious, if you select sea view, you get best sun rise view from the sea. Inclusive dinner and breakfast were nice. Public onsen is as good.
The staff is helpful, and the hotel located right in front of the sandy beach. The opened air onsen has a beautiful sea view. My room has a sea view too. The bed is firm enough comfortable and spacious.
This is my second time to stay in this fabulous hotel. Staffs are friendly and helpful. Very big, comfortable and beautiful hot spring. Food seems not as good as before, but still delicious.
The breakfast was quite varied, a good balance of all food groups.
Hotel was quiet. Nice balcony with a bay view, even through it was foggy one morning
