We traveled as a couple throughout Kyushu in October 2023. Tatsuya ryokan was the best accommodation we experienced in the whole of Kyushu! We booked the largest room on the top floor which has recently been renovated. It was stunning! We had an enormous main room with new tatami mats. The room had a large twin bed set up, and the individual beds were extremely comfortable and bigger than most twin bed set ups in Japan. The outstanding feature of the room however, was the balcony onsen bathtub which was absolutely gorgeous. The wrap around balcony had views of the trees and bamboo grove outside the full length sliding glass doors, with distant views of the misty mountains away in the distance. The room also featured a separate large bathroom, shower and toilet. As well as the bathtub the ryokan has separate private & public baths. Another stand out feature was the kawadoko riverside dining which is a unique feature of Tatsuyo. We dined kaiseki style on exquisite food right next to the river. They provided warm kotatsu to keep warm as it was very cool in the evenings. The staff were all super friendly and helpfeul. The ryokan has several staff members who speak very good English, so there are no language barriers, even in a remote location like this.
