The Hotel staff were very kind, and I was extremely satisfied with the lounge drinks! I stayed with a two-meal plan, and both meals were delicious; the buffet presentation was beautiful, and it was fun to try dishes from many different countries! I’d love to stay again!

I finally stayed at the InterContinental Hotel, a striking, innovative building shaped like a yacht’s sail that I’d wanted to visit for a long time. The warm welcome at the entrance and the kind service made me very happy. This time I chose a harbor-view Room on the 27th floor. Since I had lounge access, I enjoyed a light drink before heading out. The staff were young, but their hospitality and manners were excellent. If you want ocean views, I don’t think there’s any other choice but this Hotel. It was a luxurious and truly out-of-the-ordinary Hotel experience. Having the shower room and bathtub separated made my stay very comfortable. Next time as well, I’ll come back to enjoy the harbor view from a high floor! Thank you very much.

I finally got to experience this Accommodation I’d been curious about for a while, thanks to its appealing Instagram posts and high rankings online! In conclusion, it’s a wonderful Onsen Accommodation with a high level of satisfaction that truly lives up to the hype. The food is especially outstanding. At dinner—famous for its boat platter—you can enjoy Kishu-style whale dishes, along with a lineup of carefully prepared courses. As for the Onsen, it was a bit disappointing that every bath felt too hot to fully relax in, but you can still enjoy thoughtfully designed baths, including an open-air bath where you can feel the sea up close. I’m glad I found an Accommodation I’d love to return to in another season.

Visiting Sendai for the first time in 20 years, I chose to stay at Sakan again, a place full of fond memories.\nThe Onsen and Facility areas have been beautifully renovated, and amenities like ReFa hair dryers made the stay extremely comfortable. What impressed me most was the half-buffet. The beef tongue steak and sea urchin I selected as the main dishes were outstanding—being able to enjoy both meat and seafood so luxuriously left me completely satisfied. The buffet also offered a wide variety of options, with many live-kitchen stations, which made it wonderful to enjoy freshly prepared dishes. There was also an excellent selection of drinks and desserts, keeping me excited throughout.\nIt had been 20 years since my last visit, but it turned into an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations. I would definitely love to return!

We stayed here for a festival and sightseeing. This was our second stay, and we were satisfied as always with the great location and the well-equipped Hotel. However, the Room slippers had been changed to reusable ones, and that was the only thing we couldn’t use. Also, since it was raining, we had a hard time waiting for the coin laundry. Other than that, we had a comfortable stay with no inconveniences and were very satisfied. Thank you.

We stayed as three generations. We made a Reservation for three Rooms: a baby Room for our young grandchild, a Room with an open-air bath for us grandparents, and twin Rooms for our two daughters. There happened to be a fireworks festival during our stay, and we were able to enjoy an amazing display—such a wonderful memory. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, and everything was replenished quickly so nothing ran out. We love traveling and have stayed at many Hotels, but this Hotel is one I would definitely recommend. Free baby food was available, and there was also a kids’ buffet set up so small children could easily help themselves. I think it’s a Hotel where both adults and children can have a great time. During the Reservation process, I made a mistake that caused trouble for the Hotel, but they supported us in many ways and we truly appreciate it. Thank you very much. We would love to visit again.

I stayed here for business. What impressed me most was the warm hospitality of the staff. I also really enjoyed a delicious dinner at the restaurant. One suggestion for improvement: as someone who loves an early-morning bath, I would appreciate it if the baths could be open in the early morning.

Except during the COVID period, I have stayed here almost every year before the rainy season. The Hotel may look a bit plain from the outside, but the staff are refreshingly pleasant and very welcoming (especially at breakfast, where they greet you with smiles and work efficiently), and the Room seems to have been renovated—it is very clean and feels fresh. There is also a large public bath; it’s on the small side, but for me this is a Hotel I’m extremely satisfied with. The only reason I deducted one star is simply as a hopeful suggestion: I would be happy if there were a way for more people to use the large public bath at once. It’s not really a complaint, but at night it was unsettling not knowing whether it was full until I actually went there. That’s truly my only point. Breakfast in particular is excellent: small portions of side dishes are neatly arranged in little bowls, beautifully presented and clearly well prepared—I can only admire it. Because it’s so satisfying just to look at, I don’t end up taking too much and overeating, which I think is wonderful. In any case, this is my favorite Hotel. I’d like to stay again next year.

It was a very comfortable and wonderful villa. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the bath was absolutely lovely. I will definitely stay here again.

This was my second stay, following last year. I arrived by car, and the affiliated parking lot nearby was very convenient. Even though it was a busy time for check-in, there were plenty of counters and the process went smoothly. After checking in, I explored the nearby shopping arcade and Hirome Market on foot. There were also many restaurants close by, so dinner was great. The next morning, I enjoyed an approximately 10 km run while sightseeing around Kochi Station, Kochi Castle, and the shopping streets. The breakfast buffet was outstanding—an incredible variety and all delicious. Everything was excellent, from rice topped with bonito flakes or bonito broth to seared bonito (katsuo tataki), salads, simmered dishes, fried items, and stir-fries. I would definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.

We stayed four consecutive nights in total—two nights at Mimatsu and two nights at Sakika, Mimatsu’s sister property. Everything was excellent. The standout feature is the large public bath with natural Onsen. It was a little disappointing that bathing hours are limited to 6:00–9:00 and 16:00–24:00, but that is understandable if it is cleaned daily. The dinner and breakfast were also more than satisfactory for the price. Overall, it feels like a well-established and very good Ryokan or Hotel.

We stayed here to visit Mount Koya. The meals were delicious, and desserts and drinks were all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink. The bath water was soft, and everything was excellent.

Perfect in every way! The best value for money I’ve ever had. The Room was spacious and spotless. The fridge had a freezer, there was also a microwave, and the toilet was clean. The in-room bath was amazing, with a great view! The meals offered a good variety, which we really enjoyed.

I chose this place because the breakfast looked appealing. The Room was on the top floor and close to the bath, so I was very satisfied. As the Reviews said, you need to go early for breakfast or you’ll have to wait in line, but the food was delicious. The bath was a bit disappointing due to the crowds, and the changing area was small, so we had to take turns getting changed.

This was my third stay, and each time I leave thinking, “I’m glad I stayed here—I’ll come back.” It’s a Ryokan where the artwork in the lounge and the amenities in the guest rooms are all wonderful traditional tools that showcase Japanese craftsmanship, and I’m happy to discover different pieces each visit. I was a little worried after hearing the chef had changed, but it was completely unfounded—the flavors and menu were both excellent. Since we stayed the day after my birthday, they prepared a beautiful dessert plate for me. I was impressed by the skill of the young pastry chef. The wine pairing was also great. Breakfast was thoughtfully arranged as well, and I think I’ll always remember how delicious it was to grill Onomichi ingredients over a hibachi. Every member of staff is pleasant, and I truly appreciate how they stay close while keeping just the right distance. We’ll be back in winter—thank you in advance.

I stayed here several times back when it was the Mitsui Garden Hotel, but after COVID the room rates had risen quite a bit, which made it a tough choice. Now that it has been reborn as the Royal Pines Hotel, the rates are more reasonable. The Facility and Room were clean and well maintained, and the staff’s hospitality was excellent. The breakfast buffet was also very impressive. It seems like a great option not only for business trips but also for family travel. I’d love to stay here again when I visit Chiba.

It’s an older Hotel, but it’s quiet and very comfortable. The breakfast selection is so extensive that you can’t try everything in just one night. Everything was delicious. Sausages are easy to judge by taste, and these were definitely excellent. The Senbonmatsu Farm milk was also delicious.

The Hotel was quiet, and the breakfast was delicious. A 2-minute walk from the East Exit, with a convenience store on the first floor and plenty of restaurants nearby. It was extremely convenient and very good.

This time I stayed for three nights and made a Reservation here after researching various options. It was a charming, classic Hotel. Some parts of the Room felt old, but some items had been updated. Although it was a smoking Room, there was an air purifier, and even though it was a single Room, it felt spacious. The front desk staff and the cleaning staff were both excellent. Even though I put my things outside the Room just before going out, the cleaning staff responded quickly—thank you very much. I would like to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you for a comfortable stay.

When I visit my parents’ home, I stay here once or twice a year. I always book the Moderate Twin, and the Room is spacious and very quiet, so I can relax and rest well. Breakfast has a great variety and is very satisfying. This time (I don’t think it was available last time), there were options like shabu-shabu, steamed vegetables, and meat soup, all of which were delicious. Also, I love tea but watch my caffeine intake. They had decaf options I haven’t seen elsewhere, such as decaf Earl Grey, which was wonderful. They’ve also created a guest lounge using part of the breakfast restaurant area, where you can enjoy soft drinks anytime. It seems like a great place to unwind as well. The rooftop area is still open and remains a soothing space. However, they used to offer one complimentary drink including alcoholic options, and that service has ended, which was a bit disappointing (maybe it was replaced by the lounge?). In any case, I’d definitely like to stay again.
