I was truly moved by your warm hospitality. This is an inn I would love to visit again. Because it’s a bit far from central Tokyo, I had admired it for a long time but hesitated—however, having the chance to stay for two nights this time, I’m so glad I finally decided to come. Not only were the location surrounded by deep mountain nature and the atmosphere of the property wonderful, but the view from the famous standing bath was absolutely breathtaking. The cuisine and facilities exceeded my expectations, but what stayed with me most was the thoughtful care shown by all of your staff. When my mother became carsick on the way, you promptly guided her to our room and even handled check-in there; and when we brought a portrait of my late father to dinner, you kindly prepared a glass and even an appetizer for him as well—I was deeply touched. Thank you for such exceptional hospitality that truly warmed my heart. I will definitely return in another season.

I made a reservation through Ikkyu a few months in advance and requested several items, such as a buckwheat-husk pillow. I was surprised to receive a prompt reply from the hotel. At check-in, they kindly arranged an upgrade, and I felt the service was truly excellent. I think this is a wonderful hotel with both great facilities and outstanding hospitality. Since we visit Naha often, my wife and I even said we’d like to make this our regular place to stay. Thank you very much. We look forward to staying again.

The views are simply breathtaking. The property feels as if it was built to coexist with nature, leaving even the old trees untouched—I found myself wondering how many years they have stood there. The staff range widely in age, and it was wonderful to see even very senior team members working there. Perhaps because of the surrounding wilderness, everyone had such warm smiles and gave a bright, welcoming impression. The room uses a retro key lock rather than a modern card key, which may feel a bit inconvenient if you’re used to card keys, but I actually enjoyed the charm. With the bedroom separated from the living area, I slept very soundly. At night we had a sky full of stars, and in the morning a soft red sunrise—the sky was truly beautiful. Because dinner times are assigned in check-in order, ours was late; however, it was less crowded later on. We were also able to enjoy chuhai cocktails, juice, and snacks at the bar “Kiraku,” so we had no trouble waiting until dinner. At 10:00 p.m., they served complimentary late-night soba noodles—my first time trying it—and it was light yet delicious. There was a wine cellar in the room stocked with wine, and an open-air bath on the balcony. It was an extremely satisfying one-night stay (two days).

The hotel and our room were very clean. All the staff were very friendly, and it’s a hotel I’d like to stay at again. Although the weather was bad during our stay, they lent us a dog stroller and a rain cover, which was a great help. Thank you very much. We didn’t get to meet the resident Golden Retriever, so we’d love to stay again.

The view from the room was outstanding, and the spacious room was very comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast were truly delicious, with each dish beautifully presented, making it a delight for both the eyes and the palate. The rice cooked in a traditional kama pot was especially exceptional—I couldn’t help but eat too much. Everything—the view, the room, and the food—was wonderful, making this a fantastic inn where we could spend a relaxing and pleasant time.

I always look forward to the seasonal parfaits, and whenever a new one comes out, I can’t help but come back. This time it was the grape parfait and the Shine Muscat parfait. I went for a drive with a friend from Yamanashi, then met up with my husband at the Hotel, and I checked in from the evening. I relaxed in the Onsen and slept soundly. For breakfast, I had my usual favorite cheese omelet. It was truly delicious—I keep wondering how they make an omelet that tastes this good. And then came the grape parfait. I shared it with my husband’s Shine Muscat parfait and enjoyed both. They were beautifully presented—like works of art—and absolutely delicious. I had them last year too and never forgot them, so I was happy to have them again this year. The staff’s smiles always make me feel at ease as well. I can’t wait to see what the next parfait will be!

I’d heard this hotel was recommended even by locals in Kyoto, so I’d been wanting to stay here—and I finally did on this trip. A perfect 5 out of 5 almost feels impossible, but no matter how hard I try, I can’t find a single thing to complain about. The location and convenience are flawless! From the hotel’s basement level, the subway ticket gates are right in front of you, and JR and Keihan lines are also connected via underground passages. Breakfast was just as delicious as everyone says. I’ll definitely keep this hotel on my shortlist whenever I stay overnight in Kyoto.

We stayed for three nights as a couple in our 60s. We made full use of the affiliated Renaissance Okinawa Resort. Breakfast at Coco Garden Resort was also excellent. It was a bit disappointing that there are no restaurants within walking distance from the hotel for dinner, but we had no trouble since it’s only a 10–15 minute drive to izakayas in Onna Village. There were also services that could be booked for a designated driver, so we were able to enjoy drinks without worry. We would love to stay again.

With an entryway, there is space to take off your shoes, which is recommended for guests with babies. You can feel at ease letting your child crawl around or spread things out. The elevator is also fast, so moving between floors (such as to the hot spring on the top floor) didn’t feel like a hassle. I would like to stay here again next time I visit Naha.

We made a same-day Reservation for a family of four, and were truly impressed by the warm, attentive hospitality. The Ryokan has a wonderful sense of history and is beautifully maintained, making our stay very comfortable. Located right next to Izumo Taisha Shrine, we were able to visit early in the cool morning, enjoy a delicious local breakfast at the Ryokan, and take our time shopping afterward.

Unlimited fun with free access to karaoke, a hot stone spa, arcade games, and massage chairs. All-you-can-drink alcohol from check-in was very satisfying. The “light” evening snacks were more than enough—an all-you-can-eat spread… I couldn’t eat much, but there was even a bartender who made cocktails for us! Breakfast was also excellent! Personally, the sweets were a bit too sweet for my taste… In any case, thank you very much to all the staff.

I have used Kansai International Airport many times, but this was my first stay at this hotel. I booked an Economy Single, but they kindly prepared a twin room for me, and I was able to relax comfortably in a spacious, clean room. My friend stayed in the North Wing and I stayed in the South Wing, so our rooms were far apart, but we had no inconvenience and were able to enjoy breakfast at a leisurely pace. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay, and everything was wonderful—from the check-in with oyaki and complimentary drinks, to the atmosphere of the Room, and the open-air bath attached to the Room. The cuisine also featured ingredients and cooking methods I don’t usually experience, but it was truly delicious and I was very satisfied. What left the strongest impression was how every staff member had a lovely smile and never forgot attentive, thoughtful service even when busy. It’s a Hotel I would definitely like to stay at again.

Both breakfast and dinner were exceptionally delicious, and we were completely satisfied. The view from the lounge was wonderful. From the in-room scenic bath, we could look out over the sea, and from the living area we could see airplanes up close. In the open-air bath of the large public bath, we could look up at planes just before landing, and were truly impressed by how powerful it was. We look forward to visiting again next year after the renovations are completed.

I chose this Accommodation for my boyfriend, who loves saunas. I don’t know much about saunas, but he seemed completely satisfied and kept saying, “The best! The best!”—which made me happy too. Relaxing while listening to the natural soundtrack of the gorge and flowing river was wonderful. We said goodbye to the Accommodation, promising to come back again.

Located almost right by the station, this is a wonderful Hotel—clean, modern, and with an artistic feel. Every staff member who assisted us was pleasant and welcoming, and the dinner at KIZAHASI was especially delicious. The breakfast restaurant offered fresh, plentiful ingredients—nothing to complain about. We were also thrilled to be able to stay in Kyoto at this price during Silver Week. Since it was my wife’s birthday, thank you very much for all your thoughtful consideration; she was truly delighted. We would love to stay again.

This was my first time staying here. It’s very close to the station, so the location is excellent. The bathtub was spacious, and I was able to relax and enjoy my stay. Thank you very much. I would definitely like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

I made a Reservation the day before my stay after reading the reviews. It was No Meals Included, but the service and atmosphere were great—this was a wonderful Hotel just as described. There is parking, and it’s fairly close to the station, so I recommend it. If I have the chance to visit again, I will definitely stay here. To all the staff, thank you for providing such a comfortable space.

Choosing Richmond was the right decision. There’s a 24-hour supermarket next door, plenty of parking, and the event venue is also nearby—overall, we were very satisfied!

Tokachi Gardens Hotel’s biggest appeal was that, despite its extremely convenient location right in front of Obihiro Station, it offers a large public bath with moor hot spring water. The rooms are not as sleek and modern as the newest hotels; instead, they have a slightly nostalgic city-hotel feel. However, they are well equipped with everything you need, and I was able to relax comfortably. Bath towels and face towels are provided in the public bath area, so it’s convenient to use it with almost nothing to carry from your room. Hair liquid, hair tonic, and aftershave lotion were available, but I did not see basic skincare items such as toner or emulsion/lotion, so if you need them it’s best to bring your own. There is also a coin laundry: in addition to drum-type washer-dryers, there were two sets of separate washers and dryers on the men’s bath side. The PIN-code system made me feel secure since it helps prevent others from opening the machines mid-cycle. Breakfast was also delicious—pork rice bowls (butadon), Totteppo yogurt, Hokkaido-grown rice, local eggs, and more—offering a taste of Tokachi even though it’s an in-front-of-the-station hotel. Those looking for Hokkaido’s great outdoors or the Tokachi Plain atmosphere as part of the hotel stay itself may find it a bit lacking; however, for JR travelers, business trips, or anyone with early-morning plans the next day, this is an extremely practical choice. Being able to enjoy moor hot springs right by Obihiro Station is a major advantage. Overall, rather than a resort-style sightseeing hotel, it felt like a highly practical station-front hotel where you can still get a small taste of Tokachi. Considering the price and location, I was very satisfied with my stay.
