Check-in is done in front of your Room. (Check-out was done at the front desk of the former Hotel.) I had a Multiple Night Stay, and due to availability I had to change Room types, but the staff moved my luggage for me. The first day’s Room was spacious and new, with a pleasant woody scent, making it very comfortable. The second day’s Room (main building) was a bit smaller, and having the bath and toilet together felt slightly cramped, but I liked being able to see hibiscus from the bedside window. Both the new wing and the main building are simple yet tasteful buildings that blend well with the island scenery. I had breakfast in the dining hall of the former Hotel, which felt nostalgic and reminded me of the Showa era. This is an Accommodation I’d like to visit again.

This was my first time staying here. When my child told me they had stayed at HOTEL R8 in another prefecture, I honestly thought a regular business hotel would be fine. But due to budget reasons (laugh), I decided to try it for the first time. It was completely different from what I expected—I was able to stay comfortably, just like at a normal hotel. There were many breakfast (bento) options, and everything was delicious. The disappointing part… I thought about it, but there really wasn’t anything. I’d like to stay at HOTEL R8 in other prefectures as well. Thank you very much.

We stayed for 2 nights and 3 days, but it rained all three days, so we ended up not going to Murodo-daira. However, the hotel was so comfortable that it made up for not being able to climb Mt. Oyama. The service from the staff at both the front desk and the restaurant was truly impressive. In particular, the front desk staff responded accurately even to our difficult requests. The meals were made with ingredients from Toyama, and we were very satisfied. However, the grilled salmon at breakfast took quite a while to cook through, so I think it would be better served already fully grilled. We were also very satisfied with the all-you-can-drink alcohol and soft drinks at dinner. This is a hotel I highly recommend for anyone traveling from Tateyama to the Alpine Route. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us. We may come again next year.

Last year, my 101-year-old mother-in-law passed away, and I invited my elder sister and niece, who have been feeling a bit lonely since then, to stay here. We celebrated my sister's birthday during dinner with a toast, and the staff surprised us with a Happy Birthday song and cake. Seeing my sister's happy smile made me feel so glad I chose this Hotel. Although we couldn't see the sunset this time due to rain (unlike last time), we will definitely come back again!

This was a wonderful Accommodation where we could enjoy meals, a campfire, a sauna, and an open-air bath with the family—and also spend quiet, unhurried time alone when we wanted. Being able to experience something out of the ordinary in nature was truly the best. I’d been worn down by constant busyness, but here I could simply take things slowly, and both my body and mind felt deeply refreshed. The space is very spacious, which was great because even with a large family, everyone could relax comfortably in their own way. The meals were also genuinely delicious, letting the quality of the ingredients shine through. The Facility, dining, and hospitality—everything made for a thoroughly satisfying stay. Unfortunately it rained during our stay, but the atmosphere and design were outstanding and blended beautifully with the surrounding natural environment, so we still enjoyed ourselves even in the rain. Next time, I’d love to visit on a sunny day as well.

We stayed here for a girls’ trip. The atmosphere was even better than in the photos, and the room was stylish and refined. Time seemed to pass slowly, and we were able to enjoy a truly special stay! The female owner was wonderful, and we really appreciated all her help. I think it’s perfect for a chic girls’ getaway, a family trip, or traveling with grandparents. We definitely want to come again next year!

Registering as a member was great because it extended checkout to 12:00.

This was my first visit to Nozawa Onsen, and our stay—including at this Accommodation—was truly wonderful. In addition to visiting the public baths, we also enjoyed the bath here; it uses water from the Oyu source and was adjusted to a comfortable temperature, making it very relaxing. We ate dinner out on the first night and at the Accommodation on the second night, and both meals were delicious, making great use of local ingredients. We had breakfast on both days as well; the menu changed each day, and everything was thoughtfully prepared with local produce. The rice and miso soup were especially outstanding—so good that I even wished I’d eaten fewer side dishes just to enjoy more rice. The building has a sense of history, but it is carefully maintained. The staff were consistently courteous and attentive, so we felt comfortable throughout our stay. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again.

We always arrive late, but thank you for kindly accommodating us. We truly appreciate the owner’s warm hospitality. We look forward to staying again.

We stayed for two nights as a couple at Daimaru Ryokan in Nagayu Onsen, drawn by its famous lukewarm baths. It far exceeded our expectations, and we enjoyed an exceptionally luxurious hot-spring retreat. [Hot Springs (Ramune Onsenkan and the indoor baths)] What delighted us most was that guests of Daimaru Ryokan can enter the public bath “Ramune Onsenkan” free of charge as many times as they like. We have always loved lukewarm baths and Ramune Onsenkan, so during our stay we visited again and again to enjoy long, relaxing soaks. Spending time immersed in the water eased away everyday fatigue, leaving us feeling remarkably refreshed both physically and mentally. The ryokan’s own indoor baths are also excellent. With a thoughtfully designed layout that offers a comfortable sense of privacy, we were able to enjoy high-quality hot-spring water together in a calm setting—another wonderful memory from this trip. [Meals] We stayed for two nights, and both breakfast and dinner were truly delicious. The meals featured Oita’s local ingredients along with carefully crafted regional dishes; every meal impressed us with the quality of the produce and the attentive seasoning. Even over consecutive nights, we never tired of it and enjoyed everything to the very end. [Overall] Two blissful nights soaking in superb lukewarm waters, savoring delicious local flavors, and relaxing from the heart. This is a wonderful ryokan that makes you think, “I will definitely come back.” We would love to return to both Daimaru Ryokan and Ramune Onsenkan again.

Above all, the food was delicious. The service was also excellent. The bath at Fujimitei was great, but the pool and baths in the spa building felt a bit dated. If I were to stay again, I would choose the same plan—Fujimitei plus a course meal—and relax at Fujimitei. The three-minute fireworks kept launching one after another and were very impressive.

This was my first time in Himeji to see an opera. I considered other options, but chose this Hotel because of the Nikko brand, a separate bath and toilet, on-site parking, and even a club floor. However, the parking lot fills up quickly (it’s near the station and there aren’t many spaces), which made me nervous as a guest traveling from far away. A male staff member at the parking entrance kindly secured the last available space for me, which was a huge help—thank you very much. It would be great if parking could be reserved when making a Reservation, though I understand it may be difficult to manage. I also appreciated that parking is free for club-floor guests. The Facility feels a bit dated in places, but the Room has been renovated for comfort and convenience, with no shortage of amenities. The ReFa shower and hair dryer were excellent. The toilet wasn’t just updated cosmetically—the fixtures and piping also seemed new, making it very easy to use. The pajamas were a comfortable two-piece set with a soft feel and relaxed fit. It was quiet at night and I slept very well. The lounge made me wonder if this price is really okay—the food and drinks were impressively plentiful. Not only alcohol but also a great selection of HARNEY & SONS teas; the cinnamon tea recommended by one of the hotel staff was so good that I bought some afterward. Overall, the service was pleasant throughout and I could truly relax. Breakfast offered an extensive variety of both Japanese- and Western-style dishes—so much that even with my big appetite I couldn’t try everything. Live-cooked egg dishes are common at Hotels, but this was my first time seeing burgers made to order right in front of me. The burger was delicious—and perfectly sized as well. And the Awaji Island milk was outstanding. With no time limits on parking or lounge access, I could visit Himeji Castle and shop in the arcade as well. This isn’t just convenient for guests—it also feels like support for local revitalization efforts. Breakfast included many locally inspired items, and even the vending machines next to reception carried products from local confectionery shops—another nice touch. I don’t often have reasons to come to Himeji, but I’d love to return for a relaxing staycation. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

My daughter and I took a whirlwind 24-hour trip to Hakodate. Even with limited time to spend at the Hotel, we enjoyed wonderful meals, an Onsen, and a Room with an amazing location. It was a truly lovely Hotel. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet-style, with a wide variety of options—everything was delicious, and we ended up eating far too much. We used the large public bath, and the view from the open-air bath in the morning was incredible. Since we checked in after sunset, it was pitch-dark outside when we arrived, but once daylight came, the view from the window took our breath away. As far as the eye could see was ocean—an unforgettable sight for someone who doesn’t live near the sea. The staff included many young people and international team members, and everyone treated us sincerely and with warm smiles, making our stay truly comfortable. The only disappointment was that our stay was far too short. Hakodate is quite far for us so we can’t visit often, but next time we’d like to stay at least two nights.

I stayed for two nights. I chose a Mt. Fuji View room expecting to see Mt. Fuji from the room, but unfortunately it was cloudy, so I only got to see it on the morning after my first night. Still, that didn’t matter at all—the hotel’s open-air bath and location were excellent! From the top-floor open-air bath you can see Mt. Fuji (I only managed to see it once due to the weather), and what made it even more interesting was being able to watch both Shinkansen and local trains passing through Mishima Station directly below from the bath. There were also restaurants and a dried fish shop on the same floor as the hotel and on the first floor. Right outside the hotel there were more places to eat, including izakaya pubs, so the location was really convenient. The whole town is compact with everything close together, making sightseeing and dining very easy. It’s definitely a place I’d love to visit again. It’s such an appealing hotel that I’d want to stay here again next time—and I would happily recommend it to many people!

Although it was just a one-night, two-day stay, I was able to relax and unwind. The staff’s attentiveness was outstanding. Even though it was very crowded, they never cut corners and worked hard in the heat—I truly appreciate it. In two days, I enjoyed the Onsen at the Hotel New Awaji Group six times. Every Onsen was wonderful, but this one was especially great. I could enjoy different views in the daytime, at night, and early in the morning. It felt fantastical—like an Onsen under the sea. The meals were all about conger eel dishes. I don’t usually eat it much, but I was amazed at how delicious it was. Everything was excellent. Of course, the staff’s thoughtfulness and smiles were also wonderful. I will definitely come again—thank you in advance for your hospitality when I do.

We stayed here for my girlfriend’s birthday trip. The Room was a Japanese-Western style, very spacious, and the open-air bath was excellent. We also ordered flowers; the size and color were perfect, and she was very happy with them. Thank you very much.

The breakfast here is delicious, so I stay here every time I’m in Osaka. This time, they kindly stored my suitcase and refrigerated items before check-in, which was a big help. It’s a bit of a walk from JR Osaka Station, but if you head for Izumi no Hiroba in the underground mall, you’ll be fine. Considering the price, you can overlook the surrounding area around the Hotel. It’s also within walking distance of Tenjinbashisuji Shopping Street, and there’s a nearby LIFE supermarket, which is convenient. There is no complimentary bottled water in the room, so it’s best to bring your own.

One area for improvement: the 3:00 PM check-in needs better handling. There was a very long line, and it took about 30 minutes to check in. I understand that many guests were staying during the holiday period, but it would have been appropriate to offer those waiting at least a brief comment such as “Thank you for your patience.” That said, what’s impressive about this Hotel is how it turns that negative start into a positive experience by the end. The Room was clean, and the amenities were well stocked. The bed was made beautifully, and I slept very well. Above all, it was quiet, which I really appreciated. The Room was also spacious, and you can clearly see the effort to make effective use of the available space. The breakfast deserves special mention: there was a wide variety of options, and everything was truly delicious. With its excellent location just steps from the station, I’d be happy to stay again—even if it means lining up next time. It could easily become my go-to Accommodation when staying in Sendai.

This was my first stay, and the front desk service was excellent. The welcome ice cream was especially appreciated during Kyoto’s summer. It was also within walking distance of Kyoto Station’s Hachijo Exit. The Room was clean, and I could relax comfortably. However, adjusting the shower temperature (hot and cold) was a bit tricky—just a little hot water made it quite hot, so please be careful. Other than that, I was satisfied!

I stayed alone, and the location was close to the station. The staff were also very courteous. The Room was comfortable, and I had a pleasant stay. I was surprised that all the water was purified. Breakfast was delicious as well. I would like to stay here again when I visit Nagoya.
