The Room was spotless and felt very comfortable. The large public bath is great—beautiful, and the cool body soap and shampoo felt wonderful on a hot, humid day. The showerhead is Mirable and the hair dryer is ReFa—amazing. Both were very pleasant to use. In the large public bath, there are cleansing oil, face wash, toner, and emulsion, so you can pack light. You can also borrow a hair iron. Breakfast was delicious!! I ended up getting seconds of rice. The pork miso soup? The miso soup was packed with ingredients and really tasty. I completely understand why it’s rated so highly. I also get why people say it’s a Hotel they don’t want to tell others about. The staff were kind, and the whole Hotel had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely come again!!! It was so much fun.

Three years ago, my wife and I stayed here and made wonderful memories, so this time we stayed with six people: my son-in-law’s parents (who live in Shanghai), my daughter and her husband, and my wife and me. Everyone was very happy with the stay.

This was our first stay, and it was even happier than we expected. We sincerely thank all of the staff. After the courteous welcome service upon arrival, we were first amazed by how spacious the property is. It is also beautifully maintained, decorated for Halloween, and filled with photo spots throughout—we were grateful to enjoy them as well. The dog run is large, and it’s even divided into three separate areas. Toys are provided too. The lounge is clean, easy to use, and fully stocked with drinks. The area around the hotel is also well maintained for walking, so we enjoyed a refreshing early-morning stroll. The meals at the restaurant were delicious—just as wonderful as they looked—and our dog was thrilled too! Reservations are required in advance, but it must have been truly tasty because our dog finished everything in no time. Being able to dine together at the restaurant made us incredibly happy! Except for the large public bath, we could stay together everywhere. We used the large public bath by taking turns as a couple; it was spotless and very relaxing. The staff’s warm attentiveness during meals was remarkable—we truly appreciated their kind service. The other guests staying on the same day were also all kind and friendly. We made so many happy memories here. We would love to visit again! Thank you for two days filled with happiness!

The service was excellent, and the meals were delicious. One of Okawaso’s highlights—the shamisen performance—was very soothing, and there was also a comfortable place to sit and enjoy it at a relaxed pace, making it a wonderful memory. The staff were all welcoming with lovely smiles, and their guidance was clear and easy to follow.

This was my second stay. The moment I stepped through the entrance, it felt like a different world. The meals were delicious, the staff’s hospitality and manners were excellent, and our Room was upgraded—everything was taken care of. I would love to stay again. I’m also looking forward to trying the open-air bath next time. Thank you very much for such a wonderful experience.

After having lunch at a traditional Japanese restaurant on Hakatajima Island along the Shimanami Kaido, I visited two of the extra temples associated with Temple No. 88 before checking in. The display of miniature ship replicas is wonderful—perfect for a shipbuilding town. The bathroom fixtures are also set up to international standards, and it was fun that the faucet handles are reversed. I was also happy to find authentic Chinese cuisine on B1F at reasonable prices for dinner. This is probably my fifth stay here.

My family and I have stayed at Yamagatakan many times, and we never get tired of it. The meals are plentiful, the futons in the guest Room are fluffy and comfortable, the warm green tea in the Room is delicious, and the Onsen is nicely hot and very relaxing. We also bought a cute Mameshiba plush as a souvenir—it’s adorable. My dad, my mom, and I all love Yamagatakan, and we’d like to visit again.

Meals are prepared in each Room, and the Onsen is spacious—this is an excellent Ryokan. We keep coming back. We look forward to staying again.

We stayed with 10 family members across three generations to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. At check-in, we were given a number ticket and had to wait a bit, perhaps because there weren’t enough staff. However, drinks were free-flowing, and the lobby was lovely, so we didn’t mind waiting. We stayed in the renovated main building. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. There was one mishap—the bathroom door wouldn’t close—but staff came right away and fixed it so it would close (though it still made some noise). We booked a kaiseki dinner plan and went to the dining venue, but we couldn’t find the reception desk and there were no staff around, so we sat at the table number written on paper. Even after waiting for a while, no one came. When we spoke to a trainee staff member, they came to take our drink order. After that, an experienced staff member in charge of our table came over. Since I had noted in our reservation that this was for my father’s 70th birthday celebration, they brought a red celebratory vest (chanchanko). On top of that, they surprised us with an extra celebratory dish “from the kitchen” and even a gift from the hotel—my father was truly delighted. As expected from Hyakumangoku Hotel. We chose this hotel because we stayed here as a family about 25 years ago and remembered it well—my father said he wanted to stay here again. After the renovation made everything even nicer, being able to return together with more grandchildren than before felt very special. It became a wonderful trip to remember. Thank you very much!

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. The Facility is new and spotless, and the bathroom and bathtub are properly spacious. The Room layout is also well designed—the door isn’t directly visible from the desk, so I could work calmly. Breakfast was high quality too, and the meat soup was delicious! They also served excellent fruit, and at this price with breakfast included, I’m very satisfied. It’s a Business Hotel that could easily feel impersonal, but I discovered some great books at the library café at night, and the staff’s posted recommendations for local restaurants felt warm and welcoming. I often stay at Hotels that cost JPY 20,000–30,000 per night, but this place is more than good enough.

The staff were very kind. The meals were served buffet-style, with a wide variety of delicious options. One disappointment was that I couldn’t connect to the Wi‑Fi.

The large public bath and complimentary late-night soba are always a highlight. We were very satisfied! We’ve made another reservation, and we look forward to staying with you again.

We visited with our 3-month-old baby. As it was our first trip with a child, we were anxious at first, but thanks to the warm hospitality and flexible support, we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. We had made a Reservation for a dinner course at the restaurant, and I was worried that if our baby cried it might disturb other guests. The staff continued to reassure me with thoughtful words, and I was especially impressed by how quickly they arranged to change the latter part of the meal to room service. I’m truly grateful to the kind female staff member who took care of us at dinner! Because of this heartfelt service, we decided to make our next Reservation with a Hyatt property as well. Thank you very much!

I visited Nikko to pay my respects at my high school teacher’s grave. Since I was there, I decided to take it easy and stayed here. The bath, the meals, and all the staff were wonderful, and I had a lovely weekend. Highly recommended!

It was raining and I wasn’t sure what to do, so I suddenly decided to stay at the Hotel and made a same-day Reservation. There was a dinosaur event, and our family enjoyed the stamp rally. This time, I was worried about whether my third-grade son could take a bath by himself, but a staff member happened to be in the bath area and kindly spoke to him. He later told me how much fun he had. Thank you very much. The Room was spotless, the food was delicious, and we were very satisfied! I actually wanted to eat more croissants in the morning, but my stomach wouldn’t allow it... We’d love to come again.

The Facility is new, and I had a very pleasant stay. All the staff were kind, and the calm atmosphere was truly relaxing... The complimentary snacks in the refrigerator also helped soothe my fatigue from the extreme heat... I stayed on a Friday, and the bath was almost private, so I could relax and fully enjoy it. Everything was spotless and very well maintained. It was my first time staying at Dormy Inn, but I’d like to try other locations as well. Also, you should definitely add breakfast! The quality was beyond what you’d expect from a Business Hotel. Everything was carefully prepared and delicious. I’d love to stay again.

First, I was truly impressed by how kind the staff were. Especially the staff in the dining area—breakfast was crowded and we couldn’t find a seat, so we decided to come at a different time, and they handled everything very politely. Thank you for working so hard even while drenched in sweat. The front desk staff were also very kind. The Room was very clean, and we chose connecting rooms as a measure against my husband’s snoring, which was absolutely perfect. We stayed here for one night before our trip to Kamogawa, and I’d love to stay again. Thank you very much for your hospitality during our short stay!

Because I rarely have the chance to travel with family or close friends, I usually travel alone. Soaking in the Onsen helps me clear my mind. Enjoying delicious food is a true happiness. What’s more, Shin Tsuta brings me peace, so I return again and again. This is very important to me. The sense of calm and fulfillment I feel is thanks to the warmth and character of each and every member of your staff. That calm and fulfillment also makes me feel as if it restores my purity. When I get home, I already want to go back to Shin Tsuta—like when I was young, after seeing my sweetheart and returning to the dormitory, I immediately wanted to see them again.

After golfing near Higashimatsuyama, I made a Reservation to enjoy an area where I hadn’t stayed before. With an Onsen and breakfast included, it was a very satisfying stay. There was also a nearby restaurant serving Higashimatsuyama’s famous yakitori (actually pork). When the weather cools down, I’d like to stay here again and visit Shinrin Park. If there’s room for improvement, I felt it would be better if the refrigerator door and the cabinet door opened in the same direction, as they currently open opposite ways.

This Accommodation is a day-use Onsen Facility with lodging, overlooking the satoyama landscape of Okuizumo. Thank you for letting us stay at a very reasonable rate as part of the “Special Room Grand Reopening Commemorative” offer. The Room was clean and comfortable. The refrigerator was well stocked with complimentary drinks such as beer, chu-hi, sake, and tea. There was also a coffee machine with plenty of coffee beans provided—perfect for coffee lovers. The open-air bath is not very open, but it is free-flowing from the source. However, since the source temperature is low at 29°C, it was disappointing that hot water needs to be added. Because it was hot in July, we mostly bathed using the source water as-is. When I returned to the air-conditioned Room I felt chilly at first, but afterward my body warmed up from the core. The large public bath was far from the Special Room, but I still went three times. I noticed a slight chlorine smell, but it was nicely warm. It would be ideal if the in-room bath’s spring water could be heated. For dinner we had the top-tier “Matsu Kaiseki” at a table in the restaurant. At this great price (50,000 yen), we were fully satisfied; however, if it were priced at 70,000–80,000 yen or more for two people, I think more creativity would be needed both in the dining setting and in the meal content. As of writing this Review on IKYU.com , it seems that Special Rooms are not currently being sold there. We were glad to enjoy beautiful satoyama views with no solar panels or anything else in sight from this Accommodation. All staff served us with warm smiles and pleasant hospitality. I also appreciated that most staff were local Japanese rather than foreign workers. We support hardworking Japanese Ryokan like yours. If charging regular rates, we hope you will consider adding one more step of “specialness” worthy of a Special Room. We would love to stay again.
