This has become my go-to place to stay. All the staff are wonderful and very attentive. The rooms are well cared for, spacious, and lovely, and I always have a comfortable stay. This time, the breakfast at the morning market dining area had been upgraded as well—it was excellent. Thank you as always. I look forward to staying with you again.

We stayed here to celebrate a birthday. The room was spacious and comfortable. The free-flowing hot spring bath was wonderful and truly relaxing. Dinner was Italian, and everything was delicious—we were very satisfied. The late-night snacks were also plentiful and enjoyable. Breakfast was Japanese-style, and I was surprised at how delicious the grilled sablefish (gin-dara) was. The skin was perfectly crisp, and the rich, flaky flesh was outstanding. All of the other side dishes were also excellent, and we couldn’t stop eating rice. Although it was a simple breakfast, each item was high quality. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the meals, and this has become an inn we would definitely like to return to. We’d love to stay multiple nights someday, but I forgot to ask what dinner would be like on the second night. We’d love to stay again. All of the staff were kind, making our stay very pleasant—thank you very much. They also prepared a birthday message at our dinner table, which made us feel truly cared for.

From check-in to departure, the attentive service was excellent and we were very satisfied. The only drawback was the condition of the access road; we encountered oncoming cars once on arrival and twice on departure, but managed without any issues. If given the opportunity, we would like to stay again.

This was a return visit, and I was delighted that you remembered me and greeted me. Once again, it was a stay that made me want to come back. The free-flowing hot spring water was wonderful, and I stayed warm long after my bath. I also truly appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the proprietress kindly offering extra yukata and towels. Every dish was genuinely delicious—not only the sashimi and simmered dishes, but even the rice left a strong impression. I was told it was “Milky Queen glacier rice,” and it was sweet and pleasantly chewy; the rice itself felt like a feast. The dried fish at breakfast was also grilled to crispy perfection all the way to the head, and I ended up eating it neatly to the last bite. I’m grateful for such a delicious meal. Being able to have dinner served in the room is one of this inn’s charms. This time, since I wanted to get some work done in my room as well, I chose to dine in the dining area instead. In that spacious room with large windows—without turning on the TV—I found it incredibly relaxing to take my time and focus on each dish. The chair and table placed in the sunroom area of my room were also perfect for light work and very comfortable. It’s also nice that plenty of coffee and tea are provided. The flowers in the alcove were beautiful and lifted my spirits. The futon bedding was fluffy, too—I slept very well. If I could make just one request, having a power strip in the room would be even more helpful. Other than that, everything was excellent. I’d love to return again for the hot springs, wonderful food, and warm hospitality.

I had to change my itinerary and made a last-minute Reservation, but I had a very comfortable stay. Security was excellent: for the free laundry, you get a key from the front desk to enter, and both the washer and dryer can be locked. The women’s bath is unlocked by entering a password, which made me feel very safe. The bath is open for long hours, much more spacious than expected, and both the showers and hair dryers were ReFa—I was thrilled. The welcome drink and cold-brewed tea were also delicious. I would love to stay here again when visiting Nagasaki.

I stayed here during a temporary return to Japan from overseas. It’s a wonderful property surrounded by nature. The staff’s hospitality, the room, the bath, and the meals were all excellent, and I was able to truly relax for the first time in a while—it was a very comfortable stay. We even had a surprise visit from squirrels on the terrace. Highly recommended, and I’d love to visit again.

It was a truly satisfying day in every way. All four private Onsens were wonderful, and we enjoyed them right up until one hour before check-out. We were also happy with the wide variety of complimentary drinks available at any time. Of course, every dish was delicious, and we especially appreciated the strong local character of the cuisine. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again as soon as possible.

This was my first stay here, and I was impressed from the start by the unique tea served on arrival. The room was thoughtfully stocked with every amenity you could hope for. I also enjoyed the private bath and the meals. The attentive, detailed hospitality was wonderful. One small thing: perhaps it was just bad timing, but when I visited the shop a few times there was no staff present, so I hesitated to call someone—though I was able to shop the next day without any issues. Thank you for taking such good care of me.

This time, my parents and I stayed here. We’ve stayed about four times, but it had been a while since our last visit. The staff’s service here is truly outstanding. I’ve stayed at many Accommodations, and this ranks among the top one or two. Thank you very much.

Because our previous stay was so enjoyable, we returned. The Room, service, and hot spring Facility were all very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were prepared in a way that really highlighted the quality of the ingredients. The sweets in the Room and the herbal tea before bed were soothing for both body and mind. It’s been a long time since I’ve slept so deeply and felt this well-rested. Maybe it’s just my imagination, but my skin even seems to be in better condition. We would love to stay again.

I have stayed here several times, and it remains a wonderful Hotel. The staff are excellent, and the meals are outstanding and delicious. This time, I also enjoyed seasonal ingredients that felt like summer and was very satisfied. The Room is also lovely, with beautiful fittings and flooring. It is quiet and relaxing. Whenever I come here, I can spend my time slowly and peacefully, which I really appreciate. I would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed in the detached annex with our family of four and our dog. The Room was spacious and clean, and everything was prepared so we could relax right away. We checked in during a typhoon in heavy wind and rain and got completely soaked, but it was a relief that we could use the Onsen immediately after arriving. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and seasonings, so we brought ingredients and cooked dinner ourselves. The breakfast bread and soup were very delicious. Since it was a second-floor Room, the view was amazing. The sunrise glow was beautiful. However, it was disappointing that there were so many stink bugs on the terrace that we couldn’t go out. There were also plenty of amenities for dogs. We were able to enjoy bath time together and even sleep together. Check-out is at 11:00, so you can take it easy in the morning. I used the Onsen twice in the morning. Being able to enjoy the Onsen whenever I wanted made me very satisfied. Next time, I’d love to soak in the terrace jacuzzi while looking at the starry sky. I would definitely like to stay again.

This was our second stay at Sekiyo. We were upgraded from Taikan and were able to stay in Kangetsuan. It was our first time in a detached guest room, and it was very quiet. From time to time, small birds came to the tree by the window, and my spouse and I were able to relax at a leisurely pace. We also fully enjoyed both the indoor bath and the open-air bath. The meals were wonderful—there were so many dishes that we couldn’t finish them all, and everything was delicious. The attentive service from the room attendant was excellent as well, and we would love to visit Sekiyo again.

Although it was a small ryokan that accommodates only a few guests, it was a very quiet, comfortable place with a traditional Japanese atmosphere. The staff were also very attentive. I was especially impressed by how wonderful the meals were, and I really liked the tastefully chosen tableware as well.

The scent of the old wooden building, the creaking wooden corridors and stairs, and the historic furnishings really conveyed the charm of this ryokan founded in the Edo period. The sound of the river flowing in front was also soothing. We were able to enjoy our meal in a private room overlooking the garden, and had a wonderful time.

We stayed here on the middle day of a three-day holiday weekend. This wonderful inn exceeded every “I wish it were like this” and “It would be nice if they had this,” and within minutes of arriving I was already thinking, “I want to come back!” [Service / Facilities / Baths] Everyone who assisted us was warm and courteous, and we were able to relax in a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The room and the entire property were very clean, with tasteful ornaments and seasonal decorations throughout—such a lovely space. The amenities provided in the room and baths also reflected thoughtful attention to detail; you could really feel the staff’s care in having things that make guests think, “This is exactly what I needed.” Both the indoor bath and open-air bath could be reserved for private use, so we were able to unwind completely. The changing area was spotless, and the water temperature was perfect. When I headed to the indoor bath right after check-in, I was impressed—the mirrors gleamed, the faucets gleamed; everything was impeccably cleaned. [Meals] Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious. Highlights included a rich, velvety pumpkin potage; grated yam topped with soy-marinated egg yolk; whole char that was delicious down to the last bite; gently flavored vinegared dishes; chestnut rice with clear soup, and more. The yuba (tofu skin) and Japanese pepper were also excellent. We upgraded the main dish to wagyu beef—it was tender with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. For breakfast, the rice cooked in an earthenware pot was fluffy and glossy—I ended up having multiple refills. Everything—from teriyaki yellowtail to sesame tofu, miso soup, colorful vegetables with homemade dressing—was delicately seasoned with comforting flavors, and all of it was wonderful. This is a truly special inn where you can feel genuine hospitality everywhere. We’ve traveled to many places before, but this is somewhere we definitely want to return to—an inn that made me feel grateful to be Japanese. Thank you very much for taking such great care of us.

It was our first stay in three years, and the meals were outstanding. We were completely satisfied with both the quantity and quality at dinner and breakfast. The staff’s thoughtful, unobtrusive service was also excellent. Even after a long time away, it didn’t feel dated at all, and everything was spotless down to the smallest details—very comfortable. We had a truly relaxing time. Thank you!

It’s rare to enjoy this level of cuisine, hot springs, and service at this price, and the garden is also wonderful. The facilities are impeccably clean. It stands out even among Japan’s luxury ryokan.

The relaxing Facility, the charming Room, the wonderful cuisine, and the silky Onsen I could stay in forever—everything was exceptional. The staff’s warm smiles and attentive hospitality made it even better. This is the first Accommodation where I truly didn’t want to leave because it felt so comfortable. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

The meals featured plenty of fresh fish and spiny lobster, and everything was delicious—I left completely full. The bath was also wonderful, with a great view over Tachibana Bay. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.
