This was my first stay. They responded quickly and courteously to my inquiries in advance. Amenities, coffee, and tea are available to pick up next to the front desk, and I was pleasantly surprised that they also offered items like face masks and bath salts. However, I didn’t notice at first that the pajamas were located near the elevator, so I had to look around a bit. The separate top and bottom pajamas were very comfortable. It’s a hotel I would like to stay at again when I have the chance.

Every time I stay here, I feel the same thing. It’s simply comfortable. The staff’s hospitality, the food, and how relaxing the room is. Even after turning 60, life is still busy. I want to rest. I’ll be back again.

We had a wonderful time as a family. Thank you very much. We had stayed in Shima Onsen before, but this time we did a lot of research and chose Shima Tamura, which has both a Hotel and a Ryokan. There were so many baths that I wondered if we could possibly try them all, and it was exciting. Each one had its own character—such as a bath with the lovely scent of hinoki cypress and another where you can see a waterfall—and we truly enjoyed them. There was also a mixed-gender bath that I wanted to try, but you have to be completely nude in the changing area, so my family stopped me and I ended up being the only one who couldn’t bathe… I regretted not bringing a swimsuit. What also made me think, “If only I were really male…” were “Iraka-no-Yu” and “Mori no Kodama” on the 3rd floor by the river. Of course I couldn’t go in, but the men’s baths felt brighter and more open. From an opening above the women’s bath at “Iraka-no-Yu,” you can clearly see into the men’s bath! The rectangular hinoki pouring-bath (like a small rectangular hinoki tub) was wonderful as well. My husband said, “Iraka-no-Yu was my favorite!” The women’s bath was a bit dark, and it was disappointing that the hinoki pouring-bath (like a rectangular hinoki tub) had its lid on and couldn’t be used. At “Mori no Kodama,” the men’s bath is on the first floor with an unobstructed view of the waterfall right in front of you, while the women’s bath is on the second floor so it feels like viewing it from above. I wondered if rotating access might work… Of course, since “Mori no Kodama” on the men’s side can be seen from parts of the women’s side, I understand there may be difficulties—but if possible, I would have loved for women to enjoy that view up close too. We chose our Room in Suiryokan. It was spacious enough for our family to relax comfortably. Although we expected an older Accommodation, everything was very clean and well maintained, which made us happy. Often when an Onsen Accommodation has great baths, we end up disappointed with the Room—but at Tamura we could truly unwind. However, it was very disappointing that one of our Room bath towels smelled like cigarettes. Since I have asthma and am sensitive to cigarette odors, I left it in our Onsen basket (sorry). We used our own hand towel and bath towel instead. Other than that, everything was truly excellent. All staff members were kind and friendly, cheerful yet polite. Most of all—and this made us especially happy—even though we hadn’t mentioned my husband’s birthday anywhere beforehand, one of your dining staff thoughtfully arranged flowers in his sake cupware and offered heartfelt congratulations “from the proprietress,” doing everything she could to celebrate him. Thank you again very much. We would love to stay again many times in the future.

This Accommodation’s Onsen was simply outstanding. The large public bath is divided into “Toki-no-Yu” and “Inishie-no-Yu,” and there are so many options—including indoor baths and open-air baths—that you can’t enjoy them all in just one night. There’s also a sauna, so it’s highly recommended for anyone who wants to sweat and unwind. Another small delight is the complimentary drink (Yakult) provided after your bath. Our Room had twin beds. It wasn’t huge, but it was calm and relaxing. When we opened the window early in the morning, we could hear birds singing—an experience you don’t usually get in the city center. It was such a wonderful Accommodation that we wanted to extend our stay.

We stayed for a Multiple Night Stay this time, and the atmosphere throughout the Hotel was calm and relaxing, allowing us to unwind comfortably. When we visited the bar on the top floor, a live piano performance happened to begin, and we were able to enjoy a special moment with delicious drinks and snacks. We also had a course meal at the top-floor restaurant; every dish was excellent, and we truly appreciated the careful explanations of each course. When we mentioned that we were on our honeymoon, they added a chocolate message plate with our dessert, and even took photos for us and provided printed copies—it made us very happy! The next time we look for a Hotel, we would definitely love to stay here again.

It was my first time in Hanamaki, a town that brings to mind Kenji Miyazawa and Shohei Ohtani. I arrived in just under an hour by shuttle bus from Shin-Hanamaki Station. This is a wonderful Ryokan with the nostalgic charm of the Showa era, exactly as I had imagined. I arrived after 4:00 p.m., and since dinner started at 5:30 p.m., I hurried to the Onsen. First was “Katsura-no-Yu.” After washing, I headed to the open-air bath. Watching my step, I made my way down to the lower bath and soaked slowly while looking out over the mountain stream—pure bliss. After a short break, I tried “Hakuen-no-Yu,” the most famous standing bath here. For me, the water at “Hakuen-no-Yu” felt softer. Dinner was very lavish; we also added sea bream and crab shabu-shabu. Everything tasted excellent, and I enjoyed every last bite. After that—and again the next morning—I soaked in the Onsen about three more times in total; it truly was an Onsen-filled stay. My favorites were “Hakuen-no-Yu” for its soft water and the open-air bath at “Katsura-no-Yu,” where you can relax while gazing at the stream. The Onsen was so good that I even made a Reservation for November on my way home. Next time, I plan to stay at “Jusangatsu.”

It was better than I expected. The Room was spacious and clean, and I had a very comfortable stay. Breakfast offered a good variety, and I was satisfied. There was only one trash bin in the Room, so I thought it would be nice to have another one near the sink.

Thank you for letting us stay at a place we had always wanted to visit. Although it is far from central Kyoto, the facilities, hospitality, and food were all outstanding. We would love to stay again, and we look forward to visiting in the future.

The location near Takayama Station was excellent and very convenient. Takayama sightseeing was close by, and as a couple in our 70s, we were able to enjoy about a two-hour walk. The Hotel staff were kind, so we felt comfortable staying there. We had both breakfast and dinner, and the meals were delicious. We would like to stay again and would recommend this Hotel to friends.

Thank you for hosting us for two nights. We enjoyed the beautiful nature, the delicious food, and were able to relax and relieve our fatigue in the Onsen. We also really appreciated the all-you-can-drink cider. Thank you very much.

I had to travel to Sapporo on short notice and made a same-day Reservation. I was happy to have a Room with a view of the Hokkaido Government Office. It was conveniently located within walking distance of Sapporo Station and Susukino. The front desk staff were kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay, and I was very satisfied with the great location and reasonable price. I would like to stay here again.

From the atmosphere at the entrance to every corner of the Accommodation, we could truly feel your quiet hospitality toward travelers. The meals were also thoughtfully prepared in many ways, and we enjoyed them very much. We would definitely like to stay again.

This was our family’s first trip to Sendai. It was also our first time staying here, and it had a charm that felt different from international hotel chains. The staff were extremely courteous, which made us feel at ease throughout our stay. Our child is no longer an infant, but we were impressed that the baby food service was properly divided into stages. If I come to Sendai again for work, I would like to stay here again.

I stayed without meals included. Even as a woman traveling alone, I felt safe and comfortable. The hotel is close to the station, the staff were courteous, and I had a pleasant stay in my room. However, because the large public bath operates on a rotating schedule for men and women, my arrival time meant I could only use it for a short time, which was disappointing. If I have the opportunity, I would like to stay here again. Thank you very much.

The Facility is very clean. There is almost no outside noise. Breakfast was excellent—I ate too much for two days. When I go to Sapporo, I will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We checked in after doing some shopping at a nearby AEON. The Accommodation had everything we needed for cooking, including a pot and even a small hot plate, so it was easy to prepare meals (though you’ll need to bring your own seasonings). Complimentary drinks were also stocked in the refrigerator. Since it was our child’s birthday, we projected a birthday video with the projector and celebrated—it was a huge hit. The third-floor bath was spacious, and the Onsen water made it incredibly relaxing. The first-floor sauna was low-temperature, so my husband found it a bit mild, but I enjoyed taking my time and felt very satisfied. There was also a table on the balcony where we could relax, so we had breakfast there. Overall, everything was very clean, and having a washing machine was really helpful—everything about our stay was great. It’s an Accommodation we’d love to visit again.

Whenever I travel to Kyushu, I often stay at this hotel. The staff provide attentive, kind, and excellent service, and I always feel truly relaxed here. The food is delicious and the rooms are clean. I also appreciate the valet parking service, and the staff are always smiling—making it a very pleasant hotel. I would love to stay here again and again. Thank you very much.

We chose the Umitamago Room. There were lots of plush toys in all sizes, and the kids were thrilled! They tucked a big walrus plush into one futon and slept next to mom. While drifting off, they said, “Let’s come again.” The changing area was spacious, with a large mirror and bright lighting—very easy to use. I used to think Hotel towels were limited to one bath towel and one face towel per person and not very absorbent, but here we had one bath towel and two face towels each, and they were nicely absorbent. Both the front desk staff and the dining staff were kind to our children—everyone was wonderful. Meals included dinner and breakfast buffets, and both were delicious! If I had to ask for one thing, it would be a small toothbrush for kids. Overall, we were very satisfied and would love to visit again!

I chose the Onuma Prince Hotel for my friend visiting from afar. They were delighted, saying they could relax, fully enjoy the Onsen, and sleep well—it was wonderful. I’m grateful for the staff’s warm smiles and kind service.
