Everything in Kuju Kogen Cottage surpassed my expectations - from the hospitality of the staff to the breathtaking view outside the window of my room! Mr Yosuke delivers exceptional service with a personal touch. For example, when he found out that we had difficulty booking a cab to get to the cottage, Mr Yosuke drove down personally to pick us up from the state. He was also very attentive to details, providing us with map and info about the Kuju mountains and arranging for taxi pick up when he found out that we were interested in hiking the mountains. The staff at the cottage were also wonderful and patient, and tried their best even though they may not speak fluent English. I love the food served, especially the bbq dinner which comprised generous chunks of quality beef. The room was top-notch, cozy with amazing views, same goes for the hot spring located within Kogen Cottage. It was a truly unforgettable stay:) We even extended our stay by one night!

The location may not be the most convenient so I would recommend this place for those who are driving.

Unfornately, we have not stayed here as the hotel plan to renovate at that time so they asked us to stay other which they prepared to support. So it made us surprised because we got the perfect place that i have stayed before. Big bedroom, Big dinner course - French Style, and japapnese breakfast, Private onsen and good view.

The weather is cloud and rain when i stayed there 😉

Like the views surrounding the cottage, the room is spacious and have great view. Breakfast and dinner are good, especially we have upgraded bbq dinner to Wagyu. Staff are nice, outdoor onsen and Sauna is good. Can have local beer at the restaurant near the hotel.

The facilities are a bit old, but clean.

We liked every thing they provided. The outdoor onsen with magnificent sunset view was awesome. The room was clean and spacious, the heating kutatsu table was so nice. The breakfast and diner are delicious and changed many every day. The service people are very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast and dinner are quite decent

Room are little dated and room give does not have the best view although the property is only 5% occupied.

Amazing and delicious dinner and breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful. Outdoor onsen and sauna were nice. Kotatsu in room was a nice touch.

Onsen water was lukewarm, not hot. The futons were not very comfortable.

The view of Aso from the outdoor bath was spectacular. Every dish of the traditional Japanese dinner was delicious and thoughtfully prepared.

Very goog!!!

Nothing!

We enjoyed the dinner which was different every night and very generous in terms of portions. We enjoyed the onsen after full days of visiting the region. The staff was very helpful and kind.

Beautiful view. Cottage style room.

The bathroom is too small and very cold (during winter).
