Last time, we arrived after visiting other sightseeing spots and felt a bit rushed, so we made this reservation hoping to relax properly this time. Fortunately, we were blessed with great weather and truly enjoyed not only the dinner course, but also the sunset and breakfast on the balcony. Based on photos from our previous stay, my daughter created a printmaking piece, and I came wearing a T-shirt printed with it—so I was happy to be able to show it to everyone. I’m writing to let you know that the dishes we ordered through “Let’s Eat at Home Today!” arrived safely today. We’ll enjoy them while reminiscing about our stay. We look forward to seeing you again someday. Thank you very much.

The service was outstanding. It was the best hospitality I have ever experienced at any Accommodation. The sashimi of Seki horse mackerel, Bungo beef, and local chicken were all delicious. I was able to relax in the open-air bath while gazing at the beautiful starry sky. I would definitely like to stay here again.

I previously stayed here with my 4-year-old daughter, and while I was a little nervous about our first trip with a young child, we had a wonderful time—delicious meals and a clean Room, and we were very satisfied throughout our stay. This time, my husband was able to join us. The meals were different from last time but just as delicious as ever, and since we chose the largest Room, my daughter was thrilled. What made me especially happy was that the washing area in the women’s bath has been expanded! All of the staff were very kind, and we had a comfortable stay. We will definitely stay again as a family.

Even on a rainy day, I was able to arrive without getting wet at all from Sakuragicho Station’s South New Ticket Gate. I had booked two rooms for one person and was a bit confused at check-in, but the staff helped me right away and the process went smoothly. There’s also a Seijo Ishii supermarket on the first floor, which made it incredibly convenient to pick up delicious drinks and snacks for an evening nightcap. Of course, the room was clean as well, and I appreciated the comfortable hospitality that was eco-conscious without being excessive.

I was very happy to be able to reserve the teppanyaki I’d been wanting to try for so long. However, I ended up completely full… a luxurious problem of not being able to enjoy every last bite. That’s part of the charm of a high-end hot spring stay. Breakfast was also plentiful, and I was stuffed!! Thanks to how much we ate here, we couldn’t even eat lunch (lol). We also received cheesecake and ice cream as an Ikkyu Diamond benefit, but we couldn’t finish those either (lol). Eat and soak in the hot springs, soak in the hot springs and eat… The weather was great, and it was a truly satisfying trip. I’d love to visit again for my birthday next year.

It was truly a wonderful stay. Both breakfast and dinner were outstanding and delicious, and because all of the several hot springs are private-reservation only, you can relax and enjoy them at your own pace. With the all-inclusive plan, you can have as much as you like of sake, local craft beer, whisky—pretty much any drink you can think of—along with light snacks. There were also oden and roasted sweet potatoes that I sadly couldn’t eat because dinner was so filling (and so good). Their hospitality really came through, with so many thoughtful touches that made me think, “Even this?” “There’s more?”—in the best way. What made me happiest most of all was how exceptional every staff member’s service was. Thanks to their warm welcome, I felt truly relaxed for the first time in a long while. Thank you very much for such a lovely time. I would love to visit again.

A beautifully designed modern Japanese-style building and an impressive sense of space. Japanese aesthetics can be felt throughout, and it was a wonderfully comfortable stay—spacious yet deeply relaxing. The welcome service at CAFE SKY LIBRARY was excellent, and I was truly impressed by the staff’s understated hospitality. The large public bath and sauna were also very comfortable, allowing me to unwind and recover from travel fatigue at a leisurely pace. Getting to the airport was smoother than expected thanks to the moving walkways. I even had time to enjoy shopping at the airport early the next morning. When traveling in Hokkaido, this is a hotel I would definitely want to stay at as my final stop.

Thank you very much for taking such great care of us during our stay. The welcome drink, private bath, Onsen, meals, and service—everything was excellent. Moving around the property in samue was also very convenient. Lately we have often stayed at foreign-owned Hotels, so we were able to truly relax thanks to your warm and thoughtful hospitality. We would love to visit again.

I finally found an Accommodation that truly satisfied me after a long time. The pick-up at the station, the welcome at the entrance, and the greeting at the front desk all left a lasting impression. The hospitality from our attendant and everyone at the Ryokan was excellent. The food was delicious, and the Room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. If I had one request, since I tend to get hot easily, I would have appreciated one or two more fans in the changing room after bathing—but this is purely my personal preference. I would like to stay again.

Both the in-room meals and the Onsen enjoyed while gazing out at the sea felt truly extraordinary. We could also watch the fireworks festival from the Room window.

I stay here every year when I visit Kobe, also to pay my respects at the family grave. The front desk staff always welcome me warmly, making me feel like I’ve come home. The Room furnishings are calm and tasteful, and the drawers for storing clothes are very convenient. They provide a voucher for Chikuzono Butcher’s croquettes, so enjoying those nostalgic, warm croquettes in my Room is one of my pleasures. I also enjoyed drinks in the lounge while taking in the night view of Mt. Rokko and spent a relaxing time. I look forward to staying with you again.

This was our second stay. Once again, we were able to fully relax and enjoy the hot springs at a leisurely pace in a room with an open-air bath. As always, both dinner and breakfast were delicious (we especially loved the five small varieties of dried fish at breakfast—our family prefers that over being served one large piece). The staff were warm and attentive, and we had a very comfortable stay. Because we like this inn so much, this time I brought my elderly father and my sister who lives in the city. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back, and I was happy that both of them enjoyed it as well. During our meal, a new staff member with a beginner’s badge served us with great effort; their fresh yet polite manner left a wonderful impression. We look forward to seeing their continued growth. Thank you again for such a lovely time. We would love to visit again with someone special.

Located in the heart of town, it’s very convenient for sightseeing. The exterior is small and understated, but once inside you’re welcomed by a warm, hospitable atmosphere that feels like a special escape. The in-room bath isn’t a hot spring, but there is always plenty of hot water, so you can soak whenever you like. The complimentary snacks in the lounge were also delicious. Dinner is served in a private room, where you can relax and enjoy an excellent meal. One Hida Takayama specialty after another is brought out. For an additional fee, you can add more Hida beef dishes or upgrade the cut; my daughter chose shabu-shabu, my husband chose seared sushi, and I upgraded the cut—and everything was highly satisfying. It’s exciting to watch the shabu-shabu and seared sushi finished right in front of you. Dinner, breakfast, and the lounge were all outstanding. Every staff member was kind and helpful. We’re truly glad we chose this inn.

I stayed with my elderly mother, my niece who had returned from abroad, and my daughter. They were very kind and attentive to foreign guests, and they accommodated our food requests exactly as asked. We are truly grateful. Unfortunately, it rained heavily both days so we couldn’t do much sightseeing, but Hakone Shrine was within walking distance for a stroll. The next day the roads were closed and it was quite difficult, but the staff informed us early in the morning, which helped a lot and became a good memory for my nieces as well. I would definitely like to visit again.

This was our first stay since visiting Nasu Wan. It’s a very nice Hotel—dog-friendly and well stocked with amenities. The meals featured many local specialties and were delicious. The Room was spacious, and our dog was able to relax comfortably. Great value for money, and we’d love to stay here again.

The room was spacious and relaxing, spotlessly clean, and beautifully decorated with flowers throughout, which made it a pleasure to unwind at ease. Meals were served in the dining area, but since we had a private room, the two of us could enjoy our meal at a leisurely pace. Everything was delicious, and for us in our 70s the portions were almost more than enough—we left completely full. All of the staff were polite and pleasant. The international staff spoke excellent Japanese and were so courteous; their sincere hard work really came through and warmed our hearts. We also appreciated the complimentary coffee service in the lobby. The baths were clean and well stocked with amenities, and we were happy to have cold water available afterward as well. It was quiet and peaceful throughout our stay. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us.

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve been looking for an Accommodation that doesn’t serve meals buffet-style, and we chose Ayameya Ryokan based on its great Reviews. Throughout the property—not only the Room, but also the baths, changing area, and toilets—everything felt impeccably clean. The meals were full of thoughtful touches, such as a creatively arranged chawanmushi and tempura enjoyed with miso. It was quite a generous amount, but it was so delicious that we finished everything. The breakfast rice porridge was also a welcome treat. The Onsen had soft, gentle water, and I was able to soak slowly as if it were a private bath without running into other guests. (The open-air bath felt a little lukewarm for me.) I’d been staying mostly at large Hotels lately, so this time I truly experienced how wonderful a Ryokan can be thanks to the cheerful proprietress and the attentive hospitality of all the staff. It became an unforgettable Onsen trip—simply the best! To the proprietress: please take good care of yourself, and I hope you also get chances to relax and be pampered from time to time.

It’s a short walk from the station (bus stop), but I think it’s an easy distance to walk. The Room had everything we needed, and it was wonderful that drinks and light snacks were available until 10:00 pm. The snack cakes were delicious. All the staff were courteous and helpful, so we had a very pleasant stay. Thank you very much.

Almost directly connected to Kitahama Station, and the front desk staff were exceptionally kind. The room type I stayed in had a separate bathtub that was very convenient—overall, I had an extremely comfortable stay. I sincerely appreciate everything. I would love to stay with you again next time. Thank you very much.

This trip was our first time staying with my son and his wife and our nearly 2-year-old grandchild, a group of five, and we stayed at Hotel Tsubakikan. They prepared two adjacent rooms for us, which made it easy to go back and forth. With beds and tatami mats, our grandchild could walk around freely, which was great. The buffet meals were delicious. The restaurant staff were very kind and quickly provided a chair for our grandchild. We went to get food many times, and each time they promptly cleared the used dishes from our table, so we could enjoy our meal comfortably. The hot springs were wonderful—both my daughter-in-law and I went three times. We weren’t sure how it would go since it was our grandchild’s first hot spring experience, but they behaved well in the bath. We all made happy memories and are grateful to the staff. Everyone said they’d like to come again. Thank you very much.
