2 questions for an upcoming Kyushu trip:
1. Sanso Murata (Yufuin) - My wife and I will be visiting in November and have already booked (Sou type room), Hou is still showing available. KI-NRT I believe you did a review where you had both rooms booked, any preference between the two?
2. Takeo/Ureshino - We are transiting from Nagasaki to Fukuoka so figured either Takeo or Ureshino were our best bets to book 1 more night at a Ryokan with Private Onsen. We are having trouble finding another option easily accessible by public transit (preferably train) or PT+ short taxi outside of the unavailable benchmark Onyado Chikurintei. I found Kaiseki-yado Ougiya as a possible back-up but have not seen it or another alternative mentioned anywhere.
If we had more days available or if I was comfortable driving on the other side we would have likely looked at Kurokawa or Unzen, is there anywhere else I could be looking that hasn't been mentioned in the last few posts?

Thank you!
