I visited Izushi to pay my respects at a family grave, and stayed at Nishimuraya Shogetsutei in Kinosaki Onsen for the first time in a while. The room was spacious. At Kinosaki Onsen Station, there is a place at the tourist information center where they can store your luggage and deliver it directly to the hotel, so I was able to travel light—going to Toyooka and then on to Izushi. The hotel’s baths were also large, and I could relax. I also enjoyed visiting the public bathhouses; although it’s a bit far from the station, I appreciated that there is a shuttle bus. Dinner was delicious. Breakfast was a buffet, but this time I kept it light. There was a good variety of options. Next time, I’d like to come for crab. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

This was my first stay. From the warm welcome on arrival to the send-off at departure, everything was a truly satisfying experience. I hope to stay again during the autumn foliage season.

The room was clean, spacious, and very relaxing. The food was delicious, and the buffet offered a wide variety of dishes. The Japanese breakfast was just the right portion and perfect. The staff were all wonderful, and their smiles made a great impression. The property was also spacious, and we could play table tennis, which made my daughter very happy. I would love to stay here again.

We stayed here to celebrate my sister’s 50th birthday. From the moment we made our Reservation, we were treated with consistently thoughtful and refined hospitality throughout our stay. The service was truly wonderful. Every dish was genuinely delicious, and we enjoyed a luxurious time—simply a happy space. As an aside, the elevator was surprisingly fast, making trips back and forth to the smoking room completely stress-free.

We were very satisfied with both the baths and the meals. Both the large public bath and the in-room bath were clean. The hot spring water quality was excellent, and it really left our skin smooth. The temperature of the in-room bath was just right. The dining area was also close by, which made it easy to go with our child. We wondered if loud voices near the door might carry to the next room, but it was surprisingly fine while we were in the bedroom. Thank you for such a wonderful experience—everything from your hospitality to the hot springs and the property itself was beautiful and well maintained. We would love to stay again.

We decided to stay based on the Reviews, and it was an even more wonderful Accommodation than we expected. The bath in our Room was so great that we never ended up going to the large public bath. The meals were excellent in both presentation and taste, and we were able to fully enjoy autumn. Personally, it was my first time trying chestnut chips, and they were delicious. Since we dined in a private room, it was also helpful that we could set the room temperature to our liking. All of the staff were kind, and we had a very pleasant stay. We’re looking forward to staying again someday.

The building is showing its age, but it is carefully cleaned, and the furniture and furnishings are well maintained. The ikebana arrangements are beautifully displayed and are said to be rearranged each time by the staff. The chef is from Nemuro and sources fresh seafood from there. The vegetables and meat are locally sourced from within Hokkaido. Every time, both the presentation and the flavor are excellent, and we enjoy our meal with genuine admiration. We plan to visit again next year to celebrate our wedding anniversary.

Upon arrival, we received a thorough explanation of the Hotel services. I was happy to learn about the many interesting offerings. We also joined a guided tour of the artworks displayed throughout the property, which was inspiring as I love art. The baths, sauna, and open-air bath were all top-class. It was deeply relaxing, and time seemed to slow down. The Room was spacious and equally relaxing—I slept better than usual, and before I knew it, it was time for breakfast. Since we had another appointment, we checked out in a hurry. I regretted not setting aside more time. Even though it felt unhurried while we were there, it passed in no time at all. I would love to visit again. We didn’t have dinner this time, so next time I definitely want to enjoy dinner as well.

This was a return visit. I stayed here to visit my family’s grave and Koryu Shrine. The warm hospitality from the proprietress and all the staff was truly pleasant. The meals were delicious for both the eyes and the palate. Breakfast included a partially buffet-style setup, and everything was always kept beautifully arranged. The baths and changing area were also consistently clean and well maintained, which impressed me with how attentive the staff are. This is an Accommodation that makes you want to stay again!

I had a very comfortable 3-day, 2-night stay in a quiet setting. The meals were delicious, and the nightly mini concerts in the lobby were truly relaxing. As I was traveling solo, it wasn’t cheap, but the Facility and the quality of the cuisine more than justified it. If I had to mention one thing, the toilet paper in the Room was thin and a bit inconvenient to use. It was a wonderful and comfortable Hotel that will likely make me want to return again in summer.

I stayed here with a friend. The building is old and compact, but it was clean and well maintained, and we were very satisfied with the delicious meals and silky hot spring baths. The porcini ravioli served at dinner was so good we wished we could have had seconds. I think this is a highly satisfying place for adults to relax and unwind. It’s a bit of a walk for sightseeing, but it was nice to take a leisurely stroll before dinner.

This was my first solo trip, and I stayed here for the first time. I was very satisfied, as I was able to spend a quiet, extraordinary time just as the Accommodation’s concept promises. The food was delicious and plentiful, and best of all it was brought to my Room so I could relax and enjoy my meal there. The season I stayed was summer, but even in the open-air bath I didn’t see any insects at all, and I could enjoy it comfortably again and again. Perhaps you had taken insect-prevention measures? Thank you for such a relaxing stay. This is an Accommodation I would love to visit again.

The well-trained young staff worked efficiently—just what you’d expect from the Kyoritsu Resort Group. When an extra alcoholic drink was mistakenly brought to our table during the meal, they handled it promptly afterward, leaving no negative impression at all. We were able to continue enjoying our meal. Even when buying souvenirs, the young staff assisted us without being pushy, and we were happy with our purchase.

It was a completely satisfying stay in every way. All of the staff were exceptionally polite and warm, and I was able to spend my time comfortably from arrival to departure. The hotel and guest room were kept spotless down to every detail, making it truly comfortable. Breakfast was also delicious, with both the selection and atmosphere exceeding expectations. I could feel the hotel’s unique character as well as a distinctly Nagasaki ambiance, making it a place where you can enjoy the stay itself—not just spend the night. The staff service, cleanliness, and breakfast were all perfect. I would definitely like to stay here again when visiting Nagasaki.

The amenities and facilities were excellent, and we were very satisfied. Our dog was happy too (the room is long and narrow, so a small dog can even do a light run). They also provide insect-repellent measures (such as mosquito coils) and plenty of pet supplies (pee pads, diapers, body wipes, etc.), which made us feel at ease. Breakfast was freshly prepared and delicious. Next time, we’d like to try the dinner plan. For bathing, you use the nearby attached facility (large public bath), but this time we used the in-room shower.\n The weather was cloudy to rainy, but we still enjoyed our stay.\n A walk to the nearby sandy beach is just right for a dog walk. If you’re not doing BBQ for dinner, there’s a 7-Eleven about a 6–7 minute walk away where you can get food and drinks.\n It seems delivery is also available—we noticed this at check-out.\n The room was kept clean, and any odors were hardly noticeable.

Not only the building itself, but also the hanging scrolls and other details in the Room were wonderful, allowing us to spend a relaxing time while appreciating art and culture. As we stayed on a weekday, I mentioned at check-in that I was interested in the building, and the Accommodation staff kindly showed us several of Meijikan’s highlight Rooms. My parents and I were very satisfied. Thank you for your thoughtful hospitality. The in-room dining was also excellent, including freshly cooked white rice prepared right in front of us and abalone with a tender bite. We will visit again.

I visited on the 17th and 18th of last week for a refresh vacation. When I arrived, there were so many people along the Narai-juku street that it was difficult to make my way in. The garden outside my Room was spacious and could be enjoyed from the floor-to-ceiling window, creating a calm atmosphere where time seemed to slow down. I was able to spend some quiet, relaxing moments. Both the food and drinks were absolutely delicious! I was also very satisfied with the dinner pairing—the selections matched perfectly. Personally, one dish featuring locally grown vegetables and the gin and tonic served as part of the pairing were especially memorable! The staff at BYAKU Narai were easy to talk to, and I really enjoyed our conversations—it became a wonderful memory. This time I missed out on trying the whisky, so next time I’d like to make sure I don’t forget. I also forgot to buy a bottle for home (haha).

It was very clean and comfortable. I’d like to stay again.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been looking for an Accommodation that doesn’t serve meals buffet-style, and we chose Ayameya Ryokan based on its great Reviews. Throughout the property—not only the Room, but also the baths, changing area, and toilets—everything felt impeccably clean. The meals were full of thoughtful touches, such as a creatively arranged chawanmushi and tempura enjoyed with miso. It was quite a generous amount, but it was so delicious that we finished everything. The breakfast rice porridge was also a welcome treat. The Onsen had soft, gentle water, and I was able to soak slowly as if it were a private bath without running into other guests. (The open-air bath felt a little lukewarm for me.) I’d been staying mostly at large Hotels lately, so this time I truly experienced how wonderful a Ryokan can be thanks to the cheerful proprietress and the attentive hospitality of all the staff. It became an unforgettable Onsen trip—simply the best! To the proprietress: please take good care of yourself, and I hope you also get chances to relax and be pampered from time to time.

After pre-checking in in the early afternoon and leaving my luggage, I found that by the time of the regular check-in in the evening, my luggage had already been placed in my Room, which made everything very easy. This is standard service at a city Hotel, so I assume it’s fair to consider Grand Intelligent Hotel a city Hotel as well. Having the toilet and bathroom separated is also a great layout for a twin Room. It’s very close to Hiroshima Station, and now that you can use the 2nd-floor passageway at AER AER, it’s also possible to access the Hotel without going underground. As anyone familiar with Hiroshima Station will know, both the Shinkansen and conventional lines mainly use ticket gates on the 2nd floor (there is also an IC-only gate underground), so being able to go from the 2nd floor all the way to Kawabata without going underground is very convenient. I’d like to stay here again next year.
