It was a stay where I encountered wonderful staff after a long time. The front desk, restaurant staff, and cleaning staff were all very pleasant, providing kind guidance and responding to inquiries politely.

I accidentally made a Reservation for a smoking Room, but the front desk staff kindly checked whether a non-smoking Room was available and changed it for me since one was open. Thanks to that, I had a very comfortable stay. The bathroom was clean, the hotel is close to the station and there’s a convenience store nearby. Sometimes central air conditioning can’t be adjusted and that can be inconvenient, but I could control it in my Room, which made it even more comfortable. If I visit Kumagaya again, I’d like to stay here. Thank you very much.

I contacted the Hotel to let them know I would be late for my scheduled check-in time, and they kindly assured me it was fine, which was a huge help!\nThe Hotel interior was beautiful, and the Room was very comfortable.\nI will definitely stay here again when I come back!!

I stayed for one night. The Room was spacious and comfortable. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious, and I was especially satisfied with the breakfast buffet, which offered a wide variety of options.

I enjoyed a luxurious stay surrounded by art. Both the space and the service were excellent, and all of the staff were kind. With Shuttle Service buses to the port and museums, getting around the island was very convenient. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Naoshima.

We stayed here for my mother’s birthday. I had arranged a fruit platter as an optional gift in advance, and there was also a thoughtful photo frame and message card in our Room, which made my mother very happy. Thank you for helping make it such a memorable birthday. Thanks to the proprietress’s many considerate touches, we had a comfortable and enjoyable trip. It was a truly wonderful Accommodation in every detail. The food and baths were excellent, and we were able to fully enjoy Shuzenji.

I mainly travel in the Tokai region, and I was very satisfied with both the Facility and the price.

We stayed at the property after climbing Mount Kuju. It was close to the Maki-no-toge trailhead, and after having tea at Shetani, we headed to Hanashinobu. We arrived at 4 PM and received a detailed explanation of the stay from the proprietress before heading straight to the onsen. The quality of the water was good, and there were various onsen options to choose from, which was very pleasant. Dinner was at 6 PM, which was perfect timing. The dinner was luxurious and very delicious. The room was warm, and we slept comfortably. Breakfast had a wide variety of dishes, and we were very satisfied. We would like to visit again. The owner and the proprietress were kind, and it was a warm property.

I used the Plan with breakfast included. The staff provided excellent service, and I was very satisfied with the breakfast. When I was troubled by a persistent cough, they kindly offered me cough medicine, showing perfect attentiveness. I believe this Hotel offers more value than its price.

The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast service was excellent, offering a variety of bread, yogurt, milk, juice, various beverages, soups, and even noodle soups—so many options to choose from. Although I only used the shower this time due to the season, the bathtub is designed deeper for those who want to soak and relax—a thoughtful touch appreciated by Japanese guests. The Wi-Fi connection was stable enough for me to work comfortably at the accommodation. The accommodation cost was also reasonable, and I would love to stay here again if I have work in this area.

My spouse and I stayed for one night. The Room was compact, but it had everything we needed and was clean and well maintained. Two complimentary bottles of water were provided. Above all, the spa was excellent. The hot stone sauna was a bit on the hotter side, but we worked up a great sweat. We will stay here again when we visit Osaka.

After seeing on TV that many stays were being canceled due to the earthquake, I decided on the spot, “Then let’s go and make some summer vacation memories!” and made a same-day Reservation. The Room had a calm, pleasant atmosphere. Since it was the Room at the very end of the hall, we were able to relax without worrying about others even with children. I know it may depend on availability, but I truly appreciate your thoughtful consideration. Some of the staff were from overseas, but they made a sincere effort to speak polite Japanese and were very pleasant. Everyone was gentle and attentive, and we received wonderful hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed the Onsen—both the large public bath and the private family bath. It helped us forget everyday noise and feel refreshed. This ended up being a long message, but it was truly a rewarding trip that left us completely satisfied. It reminded me how wonderful a Ryokan can be. Next time, I’d like to add meals as well and enjoy an even more relaxing stay. Thank you very much.

The Room was bright, very clean, and compact yet efficiently well equipped. The breakfast also felt homemade and was delicious. I forgot something, but it was properly kept and you kindly helped me. Thank you very much.

It was compact and I felt comfortable using it. At breakfast last time, I saw everyone eating yakisoba, so I tried it this time. The thick noodles were delicious. I would like to stay again.

I originally made a Reservation for two nights, but due to an approaching typhoon I urgently requested to change it to one night. After you contacted us, the change was successfully made. I really wanted to stay for two nights, but we couldn’t compete with the typhoon, which was disappointing. I would like to stay at this Accommodation again on another occasion. Thank you for your help and support.

I have stayed here many times. I usually choose an ocean-side Room with a bed, but this time I tried a tatami Room. The tatami Room has shoji screens on the windows but no blinds, so it was bright outside at night and I couldn’t sleep well. That was the only drawback.

While it is not as luxurious as a Resort Hotel, it was a comfortable Hotel where we could relax while trekking and sightseeing on Yakushima. Compared with guesthouses, our privacy was better maintained, and we were able to spend our time calmly. The staff were kind, and we had a pleasant stay. There were also tasteful souvenirs displayed inside the building, which was fun to browse. From the Room, we could enjoy an ocean view—sunrise in the morning and a starry sky at night. It is a Hotel where you can unwind while feeling close to Yakushima’s nature.

My spouse and I stayed here during a motorcycle touring trip in Kyushu. A Room with bunk beds is quite rare, but we slept well. We chose the Plan with two meals, and added an all-you-can-drink option separately—great value, and we were impressed with the food. As expected in Kyushu, the mentaiko and takana at breakfast were especially delicious. For standard-class Accommodation in Kyushu, AZ is the one to choose!

Pros: - It’s a reasonably priced Hotel, but perhaps because it’s part of the Banyan Tree chain, the service felt comparable to a high-end Hotel. Even though I stayed only one night, the front desk staff remembered my name, and every staff member was brisk and professional—very pleasant. When I asked after checkout whether they could keep some food refrigerated while storing my luggage, they kindly agreed. - A shower-only setup may be a matter of preference, but since it was midsummer it was perfectly comfortable. If anything, it made the Room feel more spacious. - The small raised tatami area is also relaxing. I would have preferred floor cushions (zabuton) over regular cushions, but that may be intended for international guests. Cons: (all minor “if I had to say” points—not deal-breakers) - The nearest station is Sanjo Keihan, so I wouldn’t say access to all of Kyoto is ideal. That said, the exit is right nearby, so it’s a good location if you plan to visit the surrounding area. - The in-Room TV remote has buttons for Netflix and similar services, but the TV isn’t connected to the internet so you can’t use them—disappointing. - This is common in Ryokan-style properties, but the ceramic washbasin has a rough texture; when washing your face, if your fingers brush against it, it can sting a little. - I used the spa; since it seems to be regular guest Rooms converted into treatment spaces and you step out into a guest-room corridor from reception first, it may feel slightly less “special.” The treatment itself was very good.

We stayed here as a couple. We made a Reservation because we were looking for an Accommodation where we could relax around Lake Yamanaka, and it turned out to be even better than we expected. What we loved - The grilled rainbow trout at dinner was excellent. We don’t often get the chance to eat it, and it was especially memorable among all the dishes. - The wine-fed beef tenderloin was very tender and cooked perfectly. The garlic grilled rice ball we ordered as an extra was also a great choice. - Breakfast was just as enjoyable, with freshly made hot sandwiches and handmade soba. The soba had a wonderful aroma that really stood out. - The Room and bath were spotless and comfortable. Even details like the placement of outlets were convenient, and we could feel the thoughtful care throughout. - We were happy to have a view of Mt. Fuji from our Room. - Above all, the owner and his wife were truly lovely people. They welcomed us warmly and also told us about Myojinyama Panorama Terrace (mentioned below). The next morning, we visited Myojinyama Panorama Terrace as recommended, and enjoyed an amazing view overlooking both Mt. Fuji and Lake Yamanaka—one of the highlights of our trip. We suggest going a bit early, ideally by around 9:00 a.m., since parking is limited and it gets crowded. Everything—from the food to the scenery to the hospitality—was highly satisfying, and on our way home we kept saying how glad we were that we chose this place. We highly recommend this Accommodation for anyone who wants to spend a relaxing time in Lake Yamanaka. We’d love to visit again in another season.
