HOTEL R9 The Yard Ebino ★★★

"The location is convenient. There's a huge Cosmos drugstore (including a supermarket) directly opposite; it doesn't have ready-made food, but it has a lot of frozen food, and only cash is accepted. A 7-Eleven is a 3-minute walk to the left, and a Lawson is a 5-minute walk to the right. There's also a supermarket across the street (card payment accepted), but it doesn't have ready-made food either; the prices are quite cheap. The accommodation counter offers free coffee, tea, bathrobes, toothpaste, and other amenities. Each person also receives a daily voucher for a frozen bento box (rice or noodles), which can be redeemed at any time. There are microwaves in the rooms. Next to the counter is a laundry room with four washer-dryer combos; a standard wash and dry cycle takes about 2 hours and costs ¥700."

Jyubei No Yado ★★

"The hotel is far from the JR station, making it suitable only for self-driving trips. The dinner menu was varied and delicious, but the breakfast was a set menu and average. If you have the choice, book a first-floor room with a private bath."

Gyokusenkan ★★

"Old, but very nice and cozy place. Cool cave onsen. The room was heated for me in advance, so it was warm right away"

Shiratori Onsen Ueyu ★★

"The natural volcanic steam sauna experience was very special. The accommodation also had a great view. However, there was no bathroom in the room, so I had to use the shared bathroom in the hallway, which was a bit inconvenient. Still, I was satisfied with the low price."

Kakuto Onsen ★★

"Ebino City is located in a rural area, so the guesthouse facilities are not as well-equipped as those in the city; the rooms do not have private bathrooms. The onsen (hot spring) facilities are not as good as those in hotels. However, it's perfectly comfortable for a good night's sleep. What was surprising was that they arranged a private room for us to have breakfast; it was comfortable, had a great dining atmosphere, and offered beautiful natural views from the window, with a full view of cherry blossom trees (in December, only the branches of the cherry blossoms could be seen). We had to spend a night in Ebino City to visit Kirishima National Park. Hotels are very limited, but the Kakuto onsen guesthouse still had its own unique charm."
