I’ve stayed here about 10 times. It’s a Hotel with Facilities that have a nostalgic Showa-era vibe, and I absolutely love the atmosphere!!! Even though it’s right in the heart of Ikebukuro, it has a large public bath—and even an open-air bath!!! The meals are generous, and best of all, the draft beer served in an ice-cold frosty mug was amazing.

I stayed at this Accommodation as the destination for a long solo road trip. The exterior and interior have a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere—there’s even a barbershop inside the Hotel—and it feels like a dignified, classic Hotel from a good old time. Even the low ceilings, typical of older Hotels, felt comforting and relaxing. As for the Room itself, some furnishings do show their age, but everything was well maintained and thoroughly cleaned, which gave me great peace of mind. I used the top-floor restaurant for breakfast; even the retro chairs were carefully cared for, and you can really tell they’re valued and kept in good condition. The bathroom facilities were well maintained and clean, and things like the air conditioner controller had been updated to be easy to use today. And the in-room TV was a 50-inch smart TV—perfectly comfortable for me since I travel with a Fire TV stick. I enjoyed streaming without any cut-off screens late into the night. Because of work I haven’t been able to travel as often lately, but when I finally managed to make time and plan this trip, choosing this Accommodation as my destination was absolutely ideal. Breakfast was as satisfying as others have written—I ate too much. Newly built Hotels are all modern and spotless and tend to grab your attention, but keeping an older Hotel’s furnishings clean, beautiful, safe, and in good condition takes steady behind-the-scenes effort from the staff every day—and that’s when you truly see what hospitality is all about. If I have another chance, I’d love to visit again with staying at this Accommodation as my main purpose. Thank you very much for such a comfortable stay.

Upon arrival at the Accommodation, a female staff member greeted us with a gentle smile and warm hospitality, making it a wonderful memory. We were also very satisfied with the welcome drink service, which included coffee and a small Danish pastry.

We stayed with our 13-month-old baby. Thanks to the warm smiles and kind support from all the staff, we had a very comfortable stay. We were able to borrow a stroller for use inside the Hotel, and we could also use a baby chair at the restaurant. They even prepared baby food for us, which was a huge help. We were also able to use a bib—thank you so much. We’d love to come again! It’s a Hotel where families can feel very at ease when traveling with children, and we were extremely satisfied!

In this refined and beautiful space, I was able to spend a truly relaxing time. Most of all, I was deeply impressed by the single cold plunge bath—its crystal-clear chill felt wonderfully refreshing. The moment it wrapped around my heat-soaked body with a crisp coolness, everything seemed to sharpen vividly, and I experienced an exceptional sense of “totonoi.” I am also sincerely grateful for the warm hospitality of the staff. I will definitely return to enjoy this beautiful experience again.

They say this mountain Hotel opened in recent years as they’re planning to rebuild Takamine Kogen Hotel soon. Dinner was a beautifully presented and delicious set course. I couldn’t have breakfast because I left early in the morning to climb Mt. Asama, but according to the Hotel’s information it’s an elaborate bread-based breakfast (too bad I missed it). From 8:30 p.m., it’s bar time and drinks are free! All the Facility is new and spotless. The bath is a bit small, and there’s no open-air bath, which was slightly disappointing. They also gave me a free ticket for the Onsen at Takamine Kogen Hotel. Being able to bathe after hiking was very satisfying.

Room is clean, front desk staff are polite, and breakfast is quite good. The price is also affordable, making it excellent overall.

This is my regular Accommodation when I’m on business in Tokyo. It’s centrally located in Ginza, with easy access to shopping and restaurants. I also appreciate that there are no unnecessary services. The cloakroom service is efficient and professional. There seem to be many international guests, and the overall atmosphere feels refined. I’d like to stay here again.

I always stay here as my regular Accommodation. I use the capsule rooms, and there is also a shared large public bath. Late-night snacks are provided in the evening, making it an overall affordable place to stay.

This was my first trip to Yamagata Prefecture. I booked this Accommodation at the last minute as a stopover on my way through Yamagata to Niigata Prefecture to attend the Nagaoka Fireworks Festival, and the food was truly delicious. The staff’s smiles were wonderful, and their service was excellent. The Onsen was also great. Even though I chose this Ryokan without doing any research, I had a fantastic stay. Thank you very much.

I’m happy I could choose a smoking Room, which has become quite rare these days. Since I stayed on Sunday, the large public bath was available from 18:00–21:00 and in the morning for women only, so I was able to use it both times and was very satisfied! There were also lots of manga, and I ended up getting absorbed in reading them. The breakfast venue was spacious, so I could enjoy my meal at a relaxed pace!

It was closer than I expected from Tokushima City, and this was my first time staying overnight in Anan City. The Hotel was also close to the station, so the location was excellent. There is a parking lot on the Hotel grounds, and it felt easy to park. There is also a large public bath, which was very comfortable. The water temperature was just right, and I ended up staying in for a long time. There is a convenience store near the Hotel as well, so there were no issues in particular. I chose the breakfast-included Plan, but I felt it would have been nice to have a few more Tokushima-style ingredients. I would like to use it again.

With prices rising everywhere, we made a Reservation after seeing an unbelievably reasonable rate. Our group stayed for two nights on August 11 and 12. From the manager to the front desk and dining staff, everyone’s service was outstanding. When we called before our stay, they listened carefully and responded kindly. On the day of arrival, our match ended earlier than expected and we requested an early check-in; they graciously offered us a meeting room to use until housekeeping was finished. They also provided ice the next day, and accommodated our requests with genuine warmth—we truly appreciate it. As a group, we may have caused some inconvenience to other guests, but we sincerely hope to stay here again when we visit this area. Thank you very much! The Room may feel slightly small, but it has everything you need, including a refrigerator. A convenience store is less than a minute away.

Natural Onsen baths and a wide variety of delicious dishes. It feels like a luxury Onsen Hotel from Japan’s Showa bubble era. There are older and newer wings, and from everywhere we enjoyed stunning views of the calm, rolling waves of Mikawa Bay. The lighthouse was charming and atmospheric. The many sets of Mikawa samurai armor and bridal kimono also gave us a sense of the history of Katahara Castle from the Sengoku period. Thank you to all the staff for your hospitality.

Great value for a 2-night stay in Ikebukuro. However, I underestimated the underground passageways. It was nice that it’s a 1-minute walk from Exit C1, and there are places like MOS Burger and Matsuya nearby, so finding food wasn’t a problem. But it’s quite a walk to the JR lines and Tokyo Metro lol. You keep the key with you until checkout, so you don’t have to leave it at the front desk each time, and being able to come and go freely 24 hours is convenient.

We have four dogs, including a Golden Retriever and a Mameshiba, so we always stay in a villa with a private dog run. However, every time we’ve felt that something was always just slightly inconvenient—but RETONA was perfect. Since there’s a splash pond in the dog run, we thought we should bring towels, but there were towels right at the entrance, along with a water tank for dogs and bowls. We also received one complimentary drink per person from the vending machine at the dog-run entrance!! Thanks to that, our dogs were able to run around the spacious dog run to their hearts’ content and slept soundly at night. For dinner, since our dogs are always with us as usual, we assumed the food would end up getting cold—but each dish was served at just the right time: hot items while still hot and cold items while still cold. Everything was delicious—the soup and even the mango vegetable juice—and the appetizers were presented like an afternoon tea set: not only tasty but also beautifully arranged. Whenever we met any staff member, they greeted us with wonderful smiles, and they even helped carry our luggage upon arrival—which was truly helpful for our multi-dog household. The bath in our Room was very spacious as well, everything was spotless throughout, and above all we didn’t feel any drawbacks or inconvenience at all. We travel at least five or six times a year, and during long holidays we often stay about four nights. We would absolutely love to visit again. Thank you very much.

A Tyrannosaurus at the entrance, and dinosaurs at the front desk really excited us. The Room was spacious, with a large bathroom, quiet and comfortable for our stay. Thank you very much!

I always stay here when visiting Kyoto. The staff are always quick and smooth in their service. This time, they gave me a Room with a view from the window, which made it bright and I was very happy!

Conveniently located along the national highway and easy to find, and the Room was spacious enough. I was too full and regret that I couldn’t eat the curry. This is a Hotel I would definitely like to use again if I have the chance.

The Facility is not new or modern, but the price is affordable, and above all, the staff are kind and welcoming—highly satisfying.
