Positive: A wonderful place to stay, conveniently in town, however it's impossible to tell once you are inside the ryokan. The room is very comfortable and well maintained. Be aware if you are in the main building you can hear some activity from staff/other guests however only up until about 10pm. The staff were very courteous and welcoming and spoke fluent English. The meals were fantastic and of very high quality! I have stayed in other ryokan in Aso previously but this was by far the best quality (and bang for your buck!). It was my first time using an outdoor onsen, and tattoos are permitted. I was very grateful because many other ryokans forbid tattoos unless they are in private baths. The outdoor area was wonderful, I wish we had stayed an extra night simply to enjoy the other amenities at this ryokan.

Summary: Tattoo-friendly and a great bang for your buck!

Positive: I wanted my husband to experience a true ryokan and Shinwaen delivered the experience. The room was very roomy with a separate bed area and spacious living area, the onset was great with an option for outdoor or indoor spa options. The dinner and breakfast was a delicious traditional Japanese kaiseki menu.

Negative: This had to do with the location of the ryokan that there wasn't a regular taxi stand. I didn't realize how difficulty it would be to obtain a taxi until I decided to reserve a taxi the morning of our departure. There was no taxi (it was thought that I could explain it, the Shinkansen directive and
