妙見石原莊

探親和公路旅行。一流的設施和美味的食物。我遇到的唯一問題是溫泉的溫度都是 1，除了冰浴。熱，太熱了，不能久坐。

我從10月6日（週日）起在位於主樓1樓最後面的河邊日式2室房「萌木」住了一晚。 我認為這家旅館的特點是“優質的溫泉”和“美味的食物”。 可以與阿森川的水流融為一體的“妙見溫泉”，是自古以來就作為溫泉使用的“溫泉般的溫泉”，擁有高品質的大浴場、充滿田園氣息的露天浴池、私人露天浴池等精緻的溫泉，讓我可以盡情享受時光。 食物真是太棒了，京都花瀨一家著名旅館的主廚米其林星級廚師的手藝令人印象深刻，讓我感動不已。 沒想到在鹿兒島也能吃到如此美味的京都懷石料理。 設施和員工的服務都具有樸實無華的品質，為酒店帶來了只有高級旅館才能提供的尊貴氛圍。 難怪豪華遊輪列車“七星號”會使用它。 說實話，我覺得客房的設施以及浴後休息室的咖啡和冰淇淋品質都很便宜，與這家旅館不相稱，但總的來說，它有溫泉旅館的氛圍，而且我認為這是一家很棒的旅館，可以感受到高級旅館的氛圍。

We decided to add on one night in Kagoshima prior to embarking on our second Yakushima trip. We did this specifically to try out Myoken Ishiharaso - while the ryokan is a relative unknown in foreign circles, the its prominence among Japanese folks as one of the top onsen and culinary ryokans prompted to extend our trip to try it out. We're definitely glad we did! First, the location - even though it's a mere 15 minutes drive from Kagoshima Airport, we felt like we were a world away; the ryokan is on the outskirts of Kirishima National Park, and is situated along the banks of the pretty and quaint Amori River. It's definitely a place you can easily visit from Tokyo or Osaka given its proximity to the airport, and feel like you're in an off-the-beaten-path destination. On the other hand, it's quite a ways away from Kagoshima City proper... if you want to see the sights (Sakurajima, Sengan-en, etc.) then you definitely should plan for a long day or spend two nights in the area. Note that check-in at Ishiharaso is 2PM, and you'll want to get there not much later than that, if you intend to enjoy everything that the ryokan has to offer. We stayed in a Suite in the" Ishikura" annex building called "Kirara." It's generously proportioned (85 square meters) and features a separate bedroom/living room/tatami room, and an open-air outdoor Onsen (natural hot springs) bath on the room's balcony. The added benefit of staying in an Ishikura room (and a handful of the top suites in the main building) is the fact that you can elect to have meals in your own room. We chose Kirara due to preferring a more comfortable (to us), Western-style accommodation - Kirara's bedroom has two double beds, and the living room is furnished with real sofas. Please note that in-room meals are served in the Tatami room. We really enjoyed the variety of Onsens that are available at Ishiharaso. The in-room open-air Onsen was awesome. It's different from many others in that it's full of Iron, and you can really smell it. Not a super pleasant aroma, but it's natural, and it's not overpowering in its aroma. What was impressive is the fact that it's not only is it of the "kakenagashi" (24/7 constant free-flowing) variety, but the volume and force is unlike any other Onsen we've experienced. We could tell that they are close to the source, and there is an abundance of the hot springs water that Ishiharaso taps into. We also tried out several of the Onsens on the property, and they were all interesting in their own unique way. There is a pretty pathway along the river that leads guests to the main "Daiyokujo" (segregated communal bath) that is large and indoors in a separate building that also contains a lounge/cafe. In addition, there are several outdoor Onsens scattered througout the river banks, including a footbath, a mixed-gender bath, and two private rental baths for couples/families/friends. Ishiharaso rents out bathing suits for women, which is (probably!) needed for the mixed-g
