I stayed for two nights on a business trip and made a Reservation. The cost was about JPY 17,500 for two nights, and the Room was surprisingly a twin with breakfast included. The building is a bit old, but the inside is very clean. The twin Room was spacious and spotless; it was a smoking Room, but there was no unpleasant odor. The bathroom is a unit bath, but the shower water pressure was strong. There was an air purifier, and although the air conditioner is an older style, it kept the Room cool and comfortable during my summer stay. Breakfast is buffet-style—I expected something simple, but the seafood rice bowl and curry were delicious and I was very satisfied. The front desk staff were kind, and the late-night complimentary salt ramen was also great. Above all, I really appreciated the relatively large flat parking lot with free in-and-out access.

Only one drink of either beer or hoppy was included, but the all-you-can-drink alcohol option was great. Since we arrived late, it was disappointing that we couldn’t have the curry and natto (?). I wish they had refilled them as well. Also, the Room was spacious and clean.

The Hotel’s Rooms and common areas are very clean. It’s also close to the station, so the location is excellent. Since it’s just a short train ride from Omiya Station, it’s easy to access the Shinkansen. In addition, as the nearest station is served by both the Musashino Line and the Keihin-Tohoku Line, it’s convenient for getting to many different areas. There are plenty of restaurants around the Hotel, so dining is not a problem. There are also washing machines in the building. The accommodation cost feels like great value, so I stay here again whenever I have business in the Tokyo metropolitan area. If you stay in a Room on the track side, you may hear train noise, but I don’t think it’s much of an issue.

It’s about a 15-minute walk from Morioka Station, and it makes for a pleasant stroll while enjoying the scenery and shopping streets. There are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, and there’s also a FamilyMart on the first floor, so we had no trouble finding food and really enjoyed it. We’d definitely like to stay here again.

At happy hour from 6:00 PM, you can enjoy one beer and one plate of curry. Breakfast isn’t luxurious, but it was tasty and filling. The Room is spacious, and there is a large public bath where you can relax. They also lend amenities, which is very kind. You can hear some noise from the neighboring Room, but it was only for a short time, so I have no other complaints. I’d be happy to stay again if I have the chance.

As others have mentioned, the exterior has a retro Showa-era feel and may come as a bit of a surprise at first. However, the inside has been renovated in a very charming way, and everything is spotless and well maintained. The interior design is quite unique—perhaps inspired by a luxury cruise ship? The name “Marina” suits it perfectly. The breakfast restaurant offered an amazing view, especially since we had good weather. The food was delicious too—you can make your own mini seafood bowl, and they also serve local specialties. The price was reasonable, and I’d definitely like to stay here again when visiting Sakaiminato.

This was my first stay here. Because it is a dog-only Hotel, I felt safe and comfortable throughout my stay. The building is equipped with air conditioning almost everywhere, so it was pleasant even on hot days. Everything was excellent—the meals (including dog food), the Onsen, the indoor dog run, the Room, and the service.

Thank you for offering an affordable stay with both dinner and breakfast included, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time. Unfortunately, Shikoku Karst was cloudy, but we were really grateful that we could still get there by rental car. The Facility was new and very clean. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Kochi next year for another try!

I used the day-use Plan. This Hotel is directly connected to Kariya Station, allowing you to check in without getting wet from either JR or Meitetsu. It was convenient and well-equipped for remote work. Wired LAN is also available, and the internet connection is stable. There are restaurants, convenience stores, a bookstore, and a 100-yen shop within walking distance, making it easy to pick up anything you need. The Hotel was surprisingly quiet during the day, which made it ideal for getting work done. Thank you.

I booked this Hotel based on price because I was going to a concert at Belluna Dome and would be getting back late, just to sleep. The Hotel felt a bit old, but the Room had a table and two chairs and felt spacious without being cramped. The amenities were well stocked, and there was also a gown, which helped reduce my luggage—so I was happy about that. I couldn’t hear any voices from people walking in the hallway at all, so I had a very comfortable stay. The only slight disappointments were that the table was a bit low, and I got lost on the way from Ikebukuro Station to the Hotel. Since I’m not familiar with the area, I couldn’t find the underground exit mentioned in the directions and had to ask station staff. Even after coming up to street level, I got turned around for a moment. It would be easier if the website included photo directions. It was better than expected overall, so I’d like to stay here again when attending another concert at Belluna Dome!

I arrived by motorcycle. At first, the parking instructions were a bit hard to understand, but luckily there was an available space and I was able to park on the property. For breakfast, they served a local specialty—hittsumi soup—which was great and very satisfying. This is an Accommodation I’d like to stay at again. Thank you!

We decided to gather with friends after a long time and found an accommodation that perfectly matched the location, number of people, and price. I thought it would be very difficult for a large group to relax in one room, but the room was spacious. As for meals, there was a kitchen in the room equipped with all necessary cooking utensils, so we prepared ingredients and enjoyed cooking together from start to finish. I hope we can stay here again. Thank you very much!

I stayed here for the first time last year and loved it, so I chose this Hotel again this year when I came to Shizuoka for a live show. It’s very reasonably priced, but the staff are polite and kind, and the amenities and drink service are a huge help for someone traveling light. I didn’t have much time to use all the services again this year, but I was happy that there were still hitsumabushi rice balls available when I returned to the Hotel. Enjoying local food is one of the best parts of traveling! I’ll definitely stay here again when I visit Shizuoka.

The Facility and amenities were better than those of similar hotels. The front desk staff, while working hard to assist many inbound guests, also provided me with excellent service, including luggage storage and courteous assistance. However, there was one disappointing point: when I called at night to ask about room cleaning and towel replacement during a Multiple Night Stay, there was no response at first when the phone was answered. When I spoke to ask my question, I received an unfriendly reply, which left me wondering what was going on.

This was my first stay here. We stayed in a Japanese-Western style Room in the Sasara building, which had been renovated and was very clean. The staff member assisting us was a foreigner, so some explanations of the meals were a little hard to understand, but it was clear they had studied well. Every dish was delicious. By chance, it was the first day of the Gero Onsen Festival, and I was moved to be able to watch the fireworks while soaking in the open-air bath at night. We were able to relax and enjoy our time.

If you love Onsen, this place is truly heaven—there are 18 private baths. This was my third stay, and I still haven’t managed to try them all. The detached cottage “Aoi” has its own open-air bath, which is absolutely wonderful. I always end up completely satisfied just using the bath in the Room. The spring quality is a simple Onsen (slightly alkaline, hypotonic, high-temperature) with a pH of 8.3. It feels gentle on the skin and is easy to enjoy in a different way from more distinctive springs like sulfur Onsen. It’s comfortable for longer soaks, and being able to enjoy it many times during your stay is part of the appeal. Many of the open-air baths have a rustic, DIY-like feel. Numerous private baths are scattered across the vast grounds, and I can only imagine how much work it must be to maintain and manage so many. Because this Accommodation is surrounded by nature, things like insects and fallen leaves are somewhat unavoidable. In July there were quite a few insects, and when I visited last September I also had trouble with biting gnats. Even so, this Accommodation has more than enough charm to make up for it. The source spring has an abundant flow rate, and the source temperature is very high at 76.1°C. To bring it down to a comfortable temperature, adding water may sometimes be necessary. As an Onsen lover, I’d ideally like to enjoy pure free-flowing water without dilution—but with such a high-temperature source spring, I understand that temperature control can be challenging. Many of the staff are from overseas, but everyone speaks Japanese well and I’ve never felt inconvenienced. They are always polite and attentive. And despite being such a secluded hot-spring retreat, it’s great that the meals are genuinely delicious as well. This time we ordered sukiyaki as an extra dish; it was excellent and very satisfying. In winter this area apparently gets extremely heavy snowfall. Next time I’d love to visit in winter and enjoy an outdoor bath while admiring snowy scenery.

Three years ago, I made a Reservation at your Hotel, but I had to Cancel the Reservation due to a forecast of rain from an approaching typhoon, which led to the cancellation of the game. This time, I made a Reservation because the forecast predicts no rain. Your Hotel is located near the Morisekinoshita Station on the Sendai Airport Access Line, but since there are only two trains per hour, I walked from Natori Station on the Tohoku Line. It took about 20 minutes to walk from Natori Station to your Hotel, which felt a bit far. After watching the baseball game, on my way back to the Hotel, I was lucky to catch a train from Sendai Station to Sendai Airport, so I used the Airport Access Line. The room I stayed in was on the second floor, which was the lowest floor for guest rooms. There is a large bath in the Hotel, which I used. It was perfect for a bath after watching the baseball game. The next morning, the breakfast at Route Inn was delicious.

The Hotel offers a great range of services to fully enjoy your time on-site, including complimentary drinks in the lobby, a manga library, one hour of free karaoke, and massage chairs. The all-you-can-drink alcohol option at dinner, including local sake, was also very good. As for the food, many dishes felt like typical buffet fare, and the sashimi selection was limited to tuna, squid, and salmon, so it did not feel upscale at all. The crab also felt like standard buffet crab. The heshiko ochazuke at breakfast was extremely delicious. My child was delighted to experience karaoke for the first time. What we especially appreciated was that both the washing machines and dryers could be used free of charge. They were lined up in the laundry room, and we could use any available one. We usually end up taking home heavy, smelly clothes after swimming in the sea; although we didn’t use the dryer this time, being able to wash and spin-dry everything made things much easier after returning home. Ryusho Museum is right next door to the Hotel—we could even see its beautiful building from the lobby windows—and we enjoyed an evening walk there as well. Everyone at the Hotel was very kind. Thanks to all these services, we had a wonderful time and it became a truly memorable stay. Thank you very much.

Although we try to take a couples’ Onsen trip at least once a month, we were busy this month and couldn’t easily find time—so, as usual, it was a last-minute Reservation. We decided to stay nearby and chose Aoni Onsen for its excellent water quality. Luckily, there was a Room available at just the right time. Best of all, we could use the private bath in the building where we stayed free of charge, so my wife and I enjoyed it before heading to the large public bath. The water was great, everything was clean, and the view was wonderful. Dinner was served at the counter with attentive service for each dish while watching the kitchen at work. There was also an impressive lineup of well-known Akita sake—including Aramasa, which I used to drink almost every night. I thought it might shake my resolve since I had only recently quit drinking, but surprisingly it didn’t. With kind encouragement like “Why not just have a little?”—and with my wife unable to drink—I gratefully accepted their thoughtfulness while focusing on the meal. Since sake had always been part of every Onsen trip until now… I expected to feel lonely about it—but I didn’t at all (even though I used to be a certified sake sommelier). We truly enjoyed the Onsen.

I stayed here on my first trip to Hokkaido in a while. I was extremely satisfied with the outstanding location, the cleanliness of the rooms, and the exceptional hospitality of everyone at the Hotel. The view from the open-air bath was also wonderful, and I would definitely like to stay here again. Thank you very much.
