We stayed as a family of five. The cleaning was thorough, the futons were fluffy, and the toilet had a washlet. The facility is well-equipped with both a toaster and a microwave. The kitchen is spacious, with all necessary cooking utensils and tableware provided. As mentioned in other reviews, the sharpness of the knife is impressive! It seems to be well-maintained and sharpened; when making a salad, I could slice cucumbers paper-thin! The refrigerator is a proper large family size, making this rental villa perfect for enjoying cooking. With three rooms available, it feels like staying in a mini-suite. At night, we sat on the bench in the courtyard under the stars and had great conversations—it was so much fun! We were also introduced to nearby onsen facilities! We’ll definitely stay here again!

This was our second stay. We stayed for 4 nights and 5 days. Thank you for your advice on our plans, which turned out to be spot-on. The owner's warm personality made a great impression, and our family was already discussing on the way home when we could visit again!

I really appreciated being able to stay at such a reasonable price. I slept in a single room where I could use the shower and adjust the air conditioning individually. Including the amenities, for this price in Tokyo it was more than sufficient and I was satisfied. The staff member who assisted me with late check-in was very pleasant and left a great impression. It was very quiet, and I slept well.

I stayed for three nights during the New Year. I made the reservation immediately after seeing the photos. I was excited to see if it would be as expected, and it turned out to be a wonderful place that far exceeded the photos! I can't explain it well in words, but I want many people to experience the beautiful room and scenery of Hoshino Yado Rakuka. I am truly grateful to the property staff who kindly and politely guided us. It was a wonderful trip to Okinawa. Thank you very much. My next trip is definitely decided to be at this property!!

The Room was spacious and comfortable even for a large group. It’s in a perfect location for strolling, right in front of Yumotozaka and Kin-no-Yu, and the service was excellent—we were very satisfied. However, we felt there weren’t enough places to hang the amenity towels. Also, since there are only sheer curtains, you may wake up early in the morning depending on the season.

The owners were wonderful, and we had enjoyable conversations. The guesthouse was clean, and the shared spaces were great. We made rice balls together with international guests. If you're visiting Sendai, this is the place to stay! The staff members were also amazing and fun to talk with.

The property faces Oyu Street in the heart of Nozawa Onsen, with the Accommodation entrance just steps away. It’s also conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from the Nagasaka Gondola. The parking lot is about a 3-minute walk from the building, but for the Nozawa Onsen area it offers plenty of spaces. Depending on where you park, it may not be possible to pull your car out immediately, but if you share your schedule in advance they will accommodate you. Inside, there are two private baths: a free-flowing natural hot-spring Onsen (direct from the source) and an ion bath. The Onsen is just like the public baths in town, and because it’s private, it’s perfect for anyone who wants to soak and relax at their own pace. The ion bath has a generator in the tub that creates bubbling water; it feels refreshing after enjoying the Onsen and is also highly recommended. Both the common areas and guest rooms reflect the owner’s attention to detail, creating a fun space that feels different from a typical hot-spring Ryokan. You can also access the café and shop facing Oyu Street directly from inside, making it easy to stop for tea or do some shopping.

I stayed here again while watching a race at Fuji Speedway. I’d love to stay every time, but it’s hard to get a Reservation (T_T) If I can make a Reservation again, I look forward to staying with you.

We received prior communication, and the staff were excellent. The Facility was well-equipped and more comprehensive than a Business Hotel. I will definitely use it again when I visit Kyoto.

We stayed here when our grandchild competed in the Inter-High School Championships. Above all, the person who assisted us at check-in was wonderful. We truly appreciate how kindly and attentively they helped us because of the heat—bringing us plenty of ice and even lending us an umbrella when we went out. Of course, the Room and the bath were both spacious, and it’s a Hotel we would love to use again. Thank you very much.

I had some business nearby and only returned to sleep without meals, but I stayed for two nights. The bedroom had a calming wooden feel, and it was nice to feel like returning to an apartment. The surroundings were quiet and not bothersome, allowing for a good night's sleep. The Room and bathroom were clean, providing peace of mind during use. The amenities were simple, but coffee was available, and everything necessary was well-provided. It was my first time in Okinawa, but thanks to this Hotel, I had a great time. Thank you!

I made a Reservation early to visit the Expo. Looking for a Hotel with direct subway access to the Expo venue, triple rooms, and separate bath and toilet facilities, I found this Hotel perfectly matched my needs. From Honmachi Station on the Chuo Line, it felt a bit far to walk to the nearest exit of the Hotel after being tired from walking at the Expo. However, once above ground, it was less than a 2-minute walk to reach the Hotel. The building is not large, with three Rooms per floor; I liked how close each Room was after getting off the elevator. The entrance had lattice doors that gave it a stylish Japanese feel. The Room was very spacious and had a calm atmosphere; both the toilet and bathroom were clean as well. However, there is about a 20cm step at the entrance of the washroom area that requires caution during nighttime visits to avoid tripping. The refrigerator in our Room included a freezer compartment where we could store ice cream purchased from nearby stores—this was delightful! Additionally, having access to a coffee machine allowed us to enjoy delicious coffee in the morning—a great touch! My companion also expressed joy about staying at such an excellent Hotel!

We used it as a touring base for the Venus Line. It is a homely Ryokan. Both meals were served in the Room, allowing us to enjoy them without worrying about others. We were able to savor delicious homemade dishes, including Shinshu beef. The bath was not large, but it was clean and comfortable. The cost performance is excellent. It is a Ryokan that makes you want to use it again next time.

The Room and bathroom were clean, and there were no particular inconveniences. Dinner and breakfast were served in a private dining room on the first floor with a spacious table that comfortably accommodated our family of five. It was very comfortable, and the meals were absolutely delicious! They also provided a high chair and separate plates for children upon request. The front desk offered various board games for rent, but when we tried to borrow one before leaving, we were told rentals weren't available on departure day. We regretted not borrowing them the day before. Even with small children, we had a comfortable stay. Thank you for your hospitality!

The meals were delicious, the bedding was clean, and I had a comfortable stay. The rental equipment was excellent, allowing me to enjoy skiing. I appreciated being able to leave my luggage there. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

A guesthouse near Oji Zoo. As it is located next to an elevated railway track, earplugs are available for guests who may be sensitive to noise. In fact, we did not find the train noise bothersome.

It was a wonderful Stays that exceeded expectations. The Room was clean and free of dust. It was a bit cold, so the heater was appreciated. The small services like a reading lamp and a humidifier were also nice. The meals were more than expected, and the portions were so large that I was full. The fried squid mince was delicious. I was able to use the bath privately, so I could relax. The owner was considerate, and I had a pleasant stay. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I stayed at Mihara Kokusai Hotel as a base for a road trip around the Setouchi area and the Chugoku region. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted by a gentle, nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere that’s simply irresistible. It has a retro, calming charm you won’t find in newer, spotless hotels—and I liked it so much that I’d happily make it my go-to Hotel whenever I visit Mihara. While the building and Facility do show their age in places, everything is meticulously cleaned and clearly well cared for, so there was no discomfort at all. If anything, the nostalgic ambiance softly melts away travel fatigue and makes you feel as relaxed as if you were in your own Room. The unhurried pace and warmth of this place are rare qualities these days. During my stay, I accidentally left some belongings behind—without realizing it myself until the Hotel contacted me. Even though I caused them trouble, their phone support was truly excellent. They showed genuine concern for my situation and guided me quickly and accurately through what to do next. It didn’t feel like a routine procedure; their warm, heartfelt response let me leave everything in their hands with complete peace of mind. I’m sincerely grateful. For those arriving by car: I’ll add a note about parking. On your first visit, the entrance layout and parking spaces might make you think, “This could be a bit tricky.” But once you get used to it, coming and going is smooth and stress-free. You just need to be slightly careful at first—nothing to worry about. Overall, this is an extremely satisfying Hotel where any downside of an older building is more than made up for by outstanding hospitality from the staff and its one-of-a-kind retro appeal. I’ve grown even fonder of this place thanks to its warmth and kindness. The next time I’m driving through this area again, I’ll book here without hesitation. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
