地獄溫泉 清風莊 (Jigoku Onsen Seifuso)

去這家酒店，是因為日本溫泉研究會會長郡司勇在《去日本泡溫泉》一書中的推薦，山長水遠地開車到酒店，發現，太值了。 1、原選酒店在熊本地震中被損壞，現在是重建的，我們住的主樓是按當年的樣式建的，裡面用了很多原先的木構件，新舊混搭，色差明顯，但也因此別有味道。關鍵是，因為新，也就完全沒有很多日本溫泉酒店的“長者味”。 2、房屋的設施和傢俱下了重本，檔次很高，臥房的主燈是義大利FLOS的釣魚燈，洗臉池前放的凳子是丹麥WERNER的鞋匠凳，陽台上放的是天童木工的蝴蝶凳，酒店公共區域擺放的椅子也都是大師名作，有意思的是，放在傳統日式酒店裡麵，一點也不違和。 3、身為溫泉愛好者，當然是為了這裡的溫泉而來，作為源泉掛流的酒店，溫泉新鮮，泉質好自不待言，酒店有男湯，有女湯，兩者都有室內和露天泡池，有趣的是，男湯女湯早晚對調，這樣，住店客人就能在一天中把兩個湯四個池都泡到，室外風呂就在山坡上，裡面落滿了不知名的小花瓣。 4、而更精彩的是酒店還有混浴，當然，是難度較低，容易接受的方式，酒店會發浴衣，更衣室也男女分開，混浴有三個泡池，其中一個是冷泉，冰火兩重天，相當過癮。泡混浴時，泉眼就在旁邊，冒著白煙。 5、酒店一泊二食，二食也讓人印象深刻，晚餐除了前菜主食甜品，主角是鹿肉火鍋，從未吃過鹿肉，肉看著很瘦，沒想到竟然很嫩，也沒有任何異味，沾料衹有黑胡椒碎和辣椒，店家推薦沾黑椒碎，果然好吃。到了吃飯的環節，能説流利英語的小帥哥直接把飯鍋端了過來，讓我們看米飯當中躺著一根備長碳，我們表示驚奇，小帥哥一臉驕傲地説：Your money deserve it.火鍋和沾料都沒放一滴油，一頓飯吃完，撐而不膩。 6、早餐也有意思，餐桌中間的翻板打開，就是個長長的碳爐，顯然是地爐燒烤的改良版，早餐的好多食物都可以放在上面烤，甚至還有個小鐵盤，自已煎蛋。早餐的蔬果汁，都是一份一份現打的，早餐的牛奶酸奶，都是阿部牧場出品，而且是最高品質的一種，像鮮奶就是阿蘇紫蓋。 7、住這間酒店，有數不清的意外和驚喜，早晨下起了雨，風狂雨大，出門隨手拿起一把放在門口的雨傘，打開一看，雙拼配色，那麼美，在風中，又那麼結實。（所有溫泉照片都是確認沒人才拍攝）

My stay here was entirely on a whim. I had be looking for good places to hike and jn the process stumbled across it. In the end the weather didn't want to play bad for the hiking. What was provided made for excellent respite in the middle of a long journey. The facilities provided were better than imagined with 3 onsen to use and the rooms being A grade. The shining star for me was the staff. They were professional and helpful throughout. Doing their best to help me be comfortable in my stay. Many who spoke English and those who didn't still managed to help in every instance. Everyone at the establishment has my heartfelt thanks.

이쁘게 꾸민 숙소에서 최고의 온천수질과 식사를 만끽하였습니다. 다음번 숙박이 기대가 됩니다.

Nice and clean place with a gigantic amount of food. We ordered a duck nabe meal. Café in the area was also cute and friendly. Onsen is hot and relaxing!

Beautiful place. Fantastic setting. Lovely natural spring fed baths. Excellent food. The perfect getaway on a mountainside away from the city hustle bustle.
