This was my second stay, and it was just as moving as the first. From every part of the property—the lobby, restaurant, on-site café, and of course the guest rooms, in-room semi-open-air baths, and the large public bath—you can enjoy wonderful views of East Izu’s greenery and the ocean. The lounge also offers excellent complimentary services such as free drinks, and you can even enjoy table tennis, which I personally love. Soaking your feet in the spacious courtyard footbath while listening to lovely background music is another truly relaxing moment. It may not be highlighted much on the website, but for limited hours the on-site café also serves a variety of alcoholic beverages, soft drinks, and snacks. I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you to all the staff for their warm and attentive service.

I stayed for three nights and was completely satisfied!! The Hotel was spotless throughout—bright, clean, and beautifully maintained. The front desk staff and housekeeping team were friendly and welcoming, which created a great atmosphere. The amenities were refined, and I was especially happy to have organic coffee. One small note: the complimentary mineral water in the Room refrigerator had to be picked up at the front desk from the second night onward. It would be even better if it could be placed in the Room during cleaning. The Room was bright and clean, with no odors in the bedding. I’m a bit particular about cleanliness, but there was nothing that bothered me here—I felt very comfortable. The bath area and changing room were also very clean, and the open-air bath was wonderful. The ReFa hair dryer and other amenities such as shampoo were great as well. I especially loved the post-bath lounge and terrace. I think this is one of the best Hotels in this price range. I already have a Reservation for next month. This time I had a Room with a view of Mt. Asama, and the sunrise was beautiful. I’d be happy if I could have a mountain-view Room again next month—can I request that? Thank you for a wonderful stay.

My sister and I planned this trip to make my elderly parents’ wish to “come again” come true, and we returned for the first time in three years. My father, who has limited mobility, was hospitalized a few times during those three years, so we were truly happy that we could all visit again together. In the barrier-free connecting room we stayed in this time, you had already prepared the same items as last time—such as a dining table and shower chair—before we even asked. Thanks to that, my father was able to relax and fully enjoy the hot springs he loves, and we had a very comfortable stay. Every dish over both nights was delicious, with so many courses that we enjoyed them with our eyes as well. Thank you also for your thoughtful celebration—it became an unforgettable memory for our family. We are grateful for everything: the cheerful and attentive care from the staff member in charge of our room, the warm hospitality from all staff, and the station pick-up/drop-off service with a wheelchair-accessible vehicle. This parent-child trip was only possible because of Aoyama Yamato, and we were able to spend peaceful time with my parents again after so long. This is an inn where we feel safe returning again and again. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

Every time I stay here, I find myself thinking, “When can I come back again?”—it motivates me to work hard. I love this inn for its beautiful in-room garden and open-air bath, perfect for relaxing in the bath all day. I’m always satisfied with both the meals and the staff’s service. The steamed abalone somen noodles in abalone liver broth are truly delicious—I want to have them every time (laugh).

This was our first trip to Arima Onsen at my parents’ request. We considered several luxury ryokan, but chose Choraku because we could enjoy both Kinsen and Ginsen. From the warm welcome on arrival to the send-off, in-room dining, and the staff in charge of the large public bath, open-air baths, and post-bath relaxation area—everyone fulfilled their role with genuine hospitality. In recent years we have tended to choose more private-style accommodations, so it was truly moving to experience once again the heartfelt service of a classic Japanese ryokan. Beyond the excellent hot spring water itself, we were soothed by the lush green setting of Ichii-no-Yu and amenities such as the steam sauna using hot spring vapor—perfect for relieving everyday fatigue. The head chef is clearly highly skilled; both the taste and presentation of each dish were outstanding and beautifully conveyed an autumn feel. One small suggestion: it would be nice if there were a cushion or other soft padding on top of the floor chair in the room for added comfort. Overall, this has been our number one stay among all the places we have visited so far. We will definitely return. Thank you very much for everything.

During our trip to Ise, we stayed at this Ryokan in Toba and had a truly wonderful time. From the warm welcome on arrival, the bus driver’s cheerful conversation helped us relax and made us feel comfortable from the very start of our journey. At the Ryokan, the Onsen was exceptional. I was so happy that my skin felt silky smooth that I ended up soaking six times—I couldn’t have been more satisfied. The staff also kindly gave us detailed advice for sightseeing the next day. They even considered train schedules, which helped us make the most of our limited time. Of course, we were completely satisfied with everything—the view from our Room and all of the meals. In every moment, we felt the staff’s thoughtful attention to detail, and it was clear that they are consistently well trained. Finding a Ryokan that genuinely made me think, “I want to stay here again,” is one of my favorite memories from this trip. Thank you very much to all of the staff. When we visit Ise and Toba again, we would love to stay with you.

This is my favorite Hotel in Hakone Onsen. Every staff member is extremely kind and helpful. The dinner is enjoyable, as the appetizers vary each time we visit. After that, I get a body treatment; it’s always with the same therapist, which feels reassuring, and they are very skilled—I really like it. Highly recommended.

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.

We stayed as a couple. It was a beautiful, wonderful Hotel. The Room was great, and the large public bath was excellent. The counter seats at breakfast are also recommended. It was very tasty and enjoyable while looking out over the streets of Fujieda. If you come to Fujieda, this is a must-stay Hotel!

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.

About an 8-minute walk along the main street from Sendai Station, the moment you step through the front entrance you’re greeted by a refreshing fragrance—pleasantly stimulating to the senses. In the lobby, depending on the time of day, there are live piano or pipe organ performances, with plenty of Bach filling the space—another delight for the ears. Even in the large public bath, you can stretch out while listening to Bach—a soothing treat for a body tired from walking. At breakfast, small dishes made with carefully selected Tohoku ingredients are packed tightly across the spread—pleasing to both eyes and palate. With a typhoon approaching and heavy wind and rain outside, we still went to watch the Eagles! This was a wonderful Hotel that became an unforgettable memory alongside Maeken’s milestone 100th NPB win.
