Ryokans and Kaiseki is my ultimate obsession. Cherishable memories created our loved ones through beautiful food accompanied exceptional customer service is why I continuously live to dream about it. Being a family of four, we always wanted to take advantage of larger sleeping accommodations, local dining options and multiple bath facilities that remote locations had to offer. Souan was definitely not our typical pick due to the location itself but my mom's vague recollection of her positive food experience with this place about 20 something years ago was a major indicator for us to do so. We were truly glad that we did. This tranquil sanctuary is conveniently located right in the hustle and bustle of Yufuin tourist attraction area, only steps away from popular souvenir shops. Don't let the humble exterior fool you. With the compassionate staff along with a mind-boggling kaiseki food experience, everything exceeded our expectations. The owner and Kie (our server) and the rest of the staff members made us feel completely at ease by consistently providing my family with exceptional customer service. The rooms were large and contemporary hinted with old world flairs. The onsen was a bit on the small side but the spring water literally made my hair silky smooth and skin feel like a baby's bottom. The dining experience was what literally flabbergasted us. The food looks so simple but we have never tasted anything like this before. From the creamiest tofu to the unique texture of the steak, every single ingredient caught us by surprise. It's typically nearly impossible to satisfy my crazy grandma due to her unattainable standards when it comes down to food but she gobbled everything down like there was no tomorrow. It's really difficult for me to express through my own words because all of these humble items look so familiar, but yet, tasted completely out of the ordinary. For those who are like us and looking for a completely unique dining and onsen experience, this is the go-to place. Thank you Soan Kosumosu Staff and Owner. Your compassion and strive to provide the best Ryokan experience for your guests truly resonates throughout this place. We will be back.

“Tolles Ryokan liegt ganz in der Nähe des Sees”

Unser Zimmer im japanischen Stil im Hauptgebäude war geräumiger als ähnliche Ryokans wir übernachteten in sie verwendet hätten.

Unser Zimmer im japanischen Stil im Hauptgebäude war geräumiger als ähnliche Ryokans wir übernachteten in sie verwendet hätten. Es hat alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man sich für Zimmer in dieser Preisklasse. Das Ryokan ist 5 Minuten zu Fuß vom See, aber aus dem Bahnhof mit den Koffern brauchen Sie wahrscheinlich ein Taxi oder Shuttle. Es gibt zwar kein privates Onsen in unser Zimmer's, sind die Freien öffentlichen Bädern der Zielmoleküle erstellen Größen und durchaus angenehm. Die Lobby Rest Gegend hat eine beeindruckende Hi-Fi -System mit Mciintosh Verstärker und Canton Rainforest-Zimmer Lautsprecher gespielt sanfter Musik. Wir haben nicht das Essen im Ryokan, aber es gibt ein paar Restaurants, die man innerhalb von 15 Minuten zu Fuß auf dem Weg zum Bahnhof. Die Gegend ist nachts sehr ruhig, die meisten Geschäfte sind geschlossen, wenn die Sonne untergeht.

<Excellent> Cuisine I think this is one of the best Japanese cuisine “ryokan (auberge)” in “Yufuin” town. During dinner in a private room, a handwritten "course menu" paper of staying date was placed on the table. A total of 11 course meals were offered in a reasonable time according to our speed of the meal. Each one was a delicate and wonderful dish. I think this cuisine deserves Michelin stars. <Good> Location Located near the center of Yufuin town, it is very convenient for sightseeing. You will arrive within a minute walk to the souvenir shopping street. <Passing> Cramped and cheap rooms The site area of the entire inn are not large because it is located in center of the town. Each room and open-air bath are somewhat small for the price. A famous designer in Japan is working on the guest room design and interior, but the used building materials are cheap, so I can't feel design goodness. <Failing> Cost effectiveness I stayed in most expensive special room and paid 1,000 USD with half board. But the narrowness and comfort of the rooms are not worth it. In my intuition, reasonable price is 700-800 USD for this room. The cost effectiveness is not good, but I might make a reservation again next year only to taste cuisine. というわけで、マイナス点もありますが、プラス面の方が遥かに凌駕している宿ではないかと感じられました。
