I traveled to Tottori to see a friend from junior high school, and stayed at Hakusen, which my friend recommended. The meals and the hospitality were extremely satisfying, but I felt embarrassed because the bath was clearly visible from outside. The curtain only closed about one-third, and while you could say no one was really watching, I ended up making eye contact more than once. Other than that, it was great.

Thank you for your continued support. All of my Accommodations on this trip were in the Via Inn group. Because of the low rate and my travel schedule, I stayed at Iidabashi for just one night. Iidabashi has become almost my regular Accommodation, but this time I noticed that when lying in bed, airflow from the air conditioner or ventilation blows directly onto my throat and nose due to the Room layout, and since staying at Iidabashi my throat has not felt well. Even in the middle of summer, I tried turning off the air conditioner, but it didn’t help. The Room layout itself seems exactly the same as Rooms I have stayed in many times before and never found bothersome; however, the Room photos on the Reservation screen appear to show a slightly different layout, so I wondered if there are Rooms with a different setup. I would like to stay again during exam season as well, so I hope you can improve this. Another thing I noticed compared with other locations is that it feels slightly far from the station—crossing Sotobori-dori is more tiring than expected. The desk is large and easy to use, amenities are well stocked, Wi‑Fi works at other Via Inn properties once set up once, the staff will handle check-in even if you don’t use the self check-in machine, and having an Inageya next door makes Iidabashi very convenient. I will stay with you again.

It takes about a 20-minute walk from the station, but Atami Marine Spa, Atami Ginza, and the ferry terminal are within walking distance. The Room has a microwave and kettle, so it’s easy to buy food and eat in the Room. Free drinks were available from 5:00 PM, which was very helpful.

This was my first trip to Iwate Prefecture. It’s far from home, so I hesitated a bit, but since I could use a municipal Discount Coupon, I decided to book—and I’m glad I did. I had seen a Review saying check-in took a long time, but for me it was around 3:50 p.m. on a weekday and everything went smoothly with no issues. The Room was new and impeccably clean. It was a Room with a semi-open-air bath, and I really appreciated having two bath mats and two thick bath towels per person. The tuna carving show was fun, and the food was delicious. What impressed me most was the excellent service. I wish I could give six stars! From the Shuttle Service driver from Morioka Station to the dining staff—everyone was polite and kind. The temperature of the open-air bath in my Room felt a little cool late at night, so at 5:00 a.m. I called the front desk even though I felt bad about it. They came to my Room right away without showing any displeasure and adjusted the temperature for me. They were so pleasant that it left me feeling warmly cared for, and it really stayed with me. The reason I rated “Guest room & amenities” as 4 is that there were no towels in the toilet area of the Room, and there were no shower caps or hair ties. For women who take multiple baths, these are essential, so please consider providing them. I’m truly glad we made the trip. Even my usually critical husband praised both the meals and how comfortable the Room was. Thank you very much for your hospitality and for giving us such wonderful memories. I would definitely like to stay again.

Everything was excellent, including the room, service, bath, and meals. Despite the heavy rain, the Shuttle Service from the station was extremely helpful. Thank you very much. I would love to stay again if I have the opportunity, and I look forward to seeing you then.

We stayed here during the winter last time, so this time we came in a different season. It was an amazing hotel as always!! This time, we also visited “Mokumoku-yu,” which we didn’t have enough time to go to on our previous trip. The water temperature was just right, and while the facilities feel a bit old, everything is clean, so we were able to relax and enjoy our time there. The activities vary by season as well. This time we joined the firefly viewing tour, and the guide explained everything carefully. We even had the very rare experience of having a firefly land on our hand. It seems to have become a wonderful memory for our children—they still bring it up sometimes even now. We’re truly glad we joined! The pool even has waves at times, and there are always several lifeguards on duty, so we can comfortably bring our kids with peace of mind. As for dining, Waiwai Grill was delicious as expected, and the shops along Piman Street had been updated—those were excellent too. Our family especially loved the cheese factory shop. The bakery that’s been there for years is consistently great as well. Thank you very much!

I used this accommodation for an early stay to meet a friend in Sendai. Since I came by car, the parking lot was convenient, but access might not be ideal if you have business in the city center. There were restaurants and supermarkets nearby, so it seemed easy to buy anything forgotten during the trip. The breakfast buffet included dishes featuring Miyagi specialties, which was very satisfying.

Our first all-inclusive stay. We set off with high expectations for in-room dining and a private open-air bath in the Room! We’ve stayed at many Ryokan, but Umi no Hana, an Accommodation that feels like traveling through time, was truly outstanding in every way—Room, baths, meals, and service (many of the staff are from overseas, and their hospitality is excellent). We definitely want to stay again! Thank you so much to everyone at the Accommodation.

Both the Room and the bath were comfortable, and I had a pleasant stay. However, the entrance is hard to find. In particular, when I tried to enter from the road, I had trouble going up and down while searching for it.

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.

Although it was the rainy season and we were concerned about the weather, we had good weather and enjoyed a comfortable one-night stay thanks to the excellent hospitality throughout the property. The meals were also delicious, with well-crafted creative dishes. We felt this is a Ryokan we would like to visit again in a different season.

It’s definitely not the newest Hotel, but it was well cleaned and comfortable. Personally, I appreciated that even though it’s a unit bath, there was plenty of space around the toilet and enough room to move comfortably to the bathtub. The location near Matsumoto Station was very convenient, and I was satisfied with the price range, so I’d like to stay again. There are only two evening bus services to the Onsen, but if you want to go out for drinks in Matsumoto at night you can’t use them at all, so I would have been happy if there were also one early-morning service.

I stayed here on a business trip to Kyoto, and it was close to Kujo Station, so I had a very comfortable stay. I plan to use it again on my next business trip to Kyoto.

It was my first stay in Koriyama in 20 years, and I was able to relax thanks to the convenient location near the station and the well-equipped Facility, including a large public bath. The ice cream and Yakult available in the bath area were a wonderful touch, and the late-night ramen was delicious as well. After checkout, I enjoyed coffee at the front desk at my leisure, and I truly appreciated that everyone at reception kindly let me take a break without saying anything. It’s a Hotel where even small, thoughtful services feel comforting. I’d definitely like to stay again.

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!

A last-minute trip to Izu came up, and we stayed for two nights. We were extremely satisfied with the hospitality that far exceeded our expectations, the well-trained staff, the clean Room, and the delicious meals. Since we stayed in a Room with an open-air Onsen bath, we did not use the public bath, but everything was well maintained and it was a very satisfying trip. We will visit again.

If the rate fits my budget for the stay, I use this Hotel often because the Facility, service, and location are excellent. It’s about the size of a small Business Hotel, and there is a public bath on the first floor. So when I’m chilled in winter, I can stretch out and soak in a tub instead of just using the Room shower, which I’m very happy with. Bathing times are separated for men and women. Compared with newer Hotels, it does feel a bit dated, but considering everything you need is provided at this price, it’s very satisfying! Personally, I really like that each Room has its own air conditioner so I can set the temperature to my preference, and that the windows open—so during seasonal transitions I can manage the room temperature without using AC. The front desk service is also excellent; repeat guests only need to sign at check-in, so you can get into your Room quickly. It’s also great that there are many restaurants nearby! The affiliated parking is across the street and is a multi-story garage parking lot, which helps because you don’t have to worry about your car overheating or clearing snow off it. As long as my travel dates and the price work out, this is a Hotel I’d like to return to.

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!

As it’s new, it was clean and the Facility was great. However, it was inconvenient that I couldn’t reach the front desk by phone. I left something behind and had to communicate by email. I was able to go there in person and retrieve it safely.

We stayed in a detached annex. The website said “indoor bath type,” and there were no photos, so we expected a regular bath—but it pleasantly exceeded our expectations. I really think you should post photos of that bath on the website! We originally planned to use the open-air bath, but ended up using the in-room bath the whole time (lol). Also, I believe it was fully booked, yet while we were in our Room we couldn’t hear any voices or noise from other guests at all. You can definitely feel its age, but as a Ryokan it had everything we were looking for. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and very generous in portion size. In particular, I made a Reservation for the half steamed chicken at dinner and it was quite an experience (in a good way). From the website photos I (wrongly) imagined a bone-in thigh, but it truly was “half.” It was very tasty, but you’ll need to save room in your stomach (especially women). When we asked, they even prepared the leftover steamed chicken so we could eat it in our Room! All staff members were wonderful—everyone was pleasant and welcoming. This quiet mountain Ryokan fulfilled everything I wanted: simply enjoying the Onsen and great food. Thank you very much.
