We really enjoyed our stay at this unique, local pension. Everything was exactly as described. The meals were the highlight of our stay. The owner is a very kind and friendly lady, and we truly appreciated her warm welcome. One minor note for guests traveling with large luggage: there is no elevator, so please pack light if possible.

Although I was staying alone, they kindly moved me to a twin room as one was available. The front desk staff were also very pleasant, which made my stay feel especially comfortable.

We stayed as a family of three. The Onsen was wonderful—smooth and silky, a truly great Onsen. The meals were also excellent. We chose the course with sukiyaki. Everything—sukiyaki, sashimi, tempura, miso-grilled chicken, and more—was carefully prepared and delicious. Breakfast was served in a different dining area filled with morning sunlight, and it was just as tasty. The building was very clean, the Room was spacious and spotless, hot water and cold water were provided, and the futon was very comfortable. Everyone at the Accommodation was kind and attentive, so we had a great time. It’s an Accommodation we would definitely like to stay at again.

We booked this Accommodation for our annual summer trip as a couple, as we had wanted to visit for a long time. Although the Accommodation is surrounded by the sea, it was calm with little rocky-shore scent, and the sea breeze felt fresh and pleasant. There are only four Rooms, and after researching in advance, we made a Reservation for a Room close to the deck and the ocean—exactly the location we loved. Inside, there was a faint scent of wood, and details like a small raised tatami area and subtly varied wood grain in parts of the flooring made it simple yet very comfortable. It’s a small thing, but I was also happy they had a good-quality hair iron available. For activities, we tried SUP and the sunset cruise. It was cloudy, but that actually meant it wasn’t too hot, so we were able to fully enjoy both. My husband also enjoyed listening to records on the audio system in the lobby (I think). We had planned to watch the stars by a bonfire after dinner, but unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate… however, the staff prepared sparklers for us, and we were able to enjoy them quietly. The meal was a course menu that reflected glimpses of the local-born chef’s unique creativity, and it was fun just imagining what would come next from reading the menu. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and delicious, but perhaps because of their background in Japanese cuisine, the dashi-based soup in particular tasted exceptional. Also, although everyone working in the kitchen seemed young, they created such a pleasant atmosphere and appeared well trained in their respective fields. It was a short trip, but it felt like an escape from everyday life and left us refreshed—I think I can work hard again. It was truly wonderful Accommodation, and I hope to return again in another season.

This time, we stayed during the firefly season in late May. After dinner, just as the Accommodation advised us, we walked to a viewing spot along the “Yoboshigawa” River that flows near the Accommodation. Due to the impact of flooding a few years ago, we were told there are fewer fireflies now, so it wasn’t quite “firefly hunting,” but my spouse and I enjoyed watching fireflies flitting about here and there, feeling like kids again for a while. The viewing spot on the Yoboshigawa River is about 400 meters south of the Accommodation along the road, making for a nice post-dinner walk (haha). After that, it was back to enjoying the Onsen. I’ve written reviews several times in the past about their hospitality and service, meals, and Onsen/baths; as always, we received warm hospitality and had another very satisfying stay this time as well. We’ll be back again.

I stay here every time I visit Disney! I’m such a fan that I can’t imagine staying anywhere other than Grand Nikko (lol). All the staff are so kind and attentive—I’m a huge fan (lol). Thank you always for a wonderful stay. I’ll be back again.

This is a top-tier resort hotel that makes the most of its stunning lakeside location on Lake Biwa. I chose the plan with lounge access (breakfast service), and it was absolutely the right choice. This stay was for work, but if I have the chance, I’d like to choose the same plan again next time with my wife. During my stay, we were blessed with great weather and I was able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the lake. It even made me wonder if Oda Nobunaga once looked out on the same view from Azuchi Castle.

It was a trip for two women, and we were able to relax, and the food was delicious. We both ended up like little piggies (oh—meant as a compliment!). We’d love to visit again when we get the chance.

This was my third stay. Although it is your 6th anniversary, the entire property felt very clean, and the changing room in particular was spotless—shiny and very pleasant. The meals were also excellent. Last time I borrowed a magnifying mirror and a hair iron, and this time they had already been prepared for me. I was truly impressed by such attentive service. Next time, I would love to bring my daughter’s family and stay again.

Whenever I visit Osaka, I always stay here. This time, I was grateful that you unexpectedly prepared a larger room for me. Breakfast the next morning was excellent, with a wider variety of side dishes than last time.

Room: Clean and stylish Bathroom: Spotless and hygienic Amenities: OSAJI products—really uplifting Breakfast: Great variety, and the Reuben sandwich and French toast were especially delicious! The staff member grilling them was also very pleasant. Also, the super-blue jelly (summer-only?) was so beautiful and tasty that it should be available year-round. Staff: At least everyone who assisted me was friendly and welcoming. Second Room: Stylish, relaxing, and a great place to wait without feeling stressed about the shuttle bus. However, since the ride is fairly long, if you want to sit on the bus it’s better not to stay too long here and head to the bus stop earlier. Note (the only one): The card key doesn’t have the room number printed on it, so I briefly forgot my room number and panicked. It might be a good idea to take a screenshot of your room number at check-in. I’d been looking for an alternative because Hotel Okura Tokyo Bay has gotten more expensive over the years, but I think I’ll stick with this place. It was easygoing, clean, and fun. I’ve already made another Reservation for December—thank you in advance. I’m also looking forward to the breakfast buffet in December.

I’m always satisfied. Given that it’s an expensive Room, you might say that’s to be expected—but consistently meeting those expectations is actually proof of very high quality. However, there’s one point I’d like to mention for everyone. There is a covered walkway to Hakodate Station, but there are no walls. So during typhoons or blizzards with strong winds, the location is only “better than most.” For normal rain, it’s not a problem.

In recent years, I have stayed here every time I visit Ise. I always look forward to Teppanyaki Seiseki. While enjoying pleasant conversation, we were able to savor outstanding ingredients prepared with superb skill—delicious abalone, spiny lobster, and Wagyu beef in abundance. We were extremely satisfied. This is a wonderful inn with attentive and thoughtful staff. The Aurora Bath is also excellent. I would definitely like to stay here again.

It was a wonderful Hotel. The staff were courteous and attentive, and we had a very comfortable stay. We had a small issue with the Room, but when we asked for help, they promptly arranged a Room change, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you for your quick response. We used the buffet for both breakfast and dinner. Both offered a wide variety of dishes, and everything was delicious. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with our stay and would love to return.

As I prefer gluten-free options, I usually stay at Japanese-style Ryokan with mainly Japanese cuisine. This Hotel also offered gluten-free meals, and the Room was clean and functional. The staff provided excellent service. The view from the Room was outstanding. I’ve already made my next Reservation.

Although we stayed during the hot season, we were able to play in the river in front of the Hotel and had a great time. The water was clean and not too deep, and we were happy to see our dog enjoying it—it made us glad we came. We didn’t use it this time, but next time we’d like to have river-play photos taken. The meals also felt carefully prepared dish by dish. The salt-grilled ayu was delicious. At dinner, a female staff member was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was set up like a half-buffet system, and items that ran out were replenished promptly with attentive care. The bath water didn’t feel particularly like an Onsen, but the baths were spacious and relaxing. The open-air bath felt slightly hot. Given the times, it seems they are operating with a small team, but there were thoughtful touches such as a 24-hour self-checkout system at the shop and mops and small vacuums available in the changing area for guests to use. Since all guests had dogs with them, we could relax without worrying about others. We’d like to stay again during the autumn foliage season or when fireflies can be seen.

We stayed as a family. We were very satisfied with the Accommodation, the Onsen, and the meals. The building had a charming atmosphere (the stairs were a bit challenging), and we enjoyed a clean Onsen of excellent quality and delicious, high-quality cuisine. We were especially surprised by how good the meat, tofu, and rice were. Above all, we truly appreciated the heartfelt hospitality from all the staff. We were happy to receive so much helpful advice about getting around inside the property. We are also very grateful for your thoughtful consideration in providing an irregular Shuttle Service to the station. Although it is far away, this is a wonderful Accommodation we would love to visit again. Thank you for such a lovely time!

As it was my birthday month, I chose a room with lounge access at this hotel for the first time. Thank you very much for the birthday gift. The room had a separate bath and toilet, and both the layout and the bed were excellent. The view from the window was also very relaxing. The lounge was comfortable, and we really enjoyed a wide variety of drinks, including alcohol. My husband was delighted. Everything served in the lounge was delicious—especially the omelet, French toast, and rice balls at breakfast; they were outstanding. All of the staff were wonderful as well, and I would love to stay again. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

This was my first stay at Hotel Aoki. The hot spring was wonderful—my skin felt so smooth, and I loved it. The meal was also excellent; the horse sashimi was amazing and delicious, and the drinks went down easily. I’ll be back again.

I have stayed here several times, and once again I had a wonderful time. I also enjoyed both dinner and breakfast, and the warm smiles and thoughtful hospitality of the front desk and restaurant staff made my stay truly relaxing. I’m really glad I chose this hotel. I would love to stay here again. Thank you very much.
