About 10 years ago, my wife underwent breast cancer surgery. As her condition stabilized, we stayed at this hot spring inn with the surgeon’s approval, on the condition that a simple (non-sulfur) spring would be fine. It was a refined ryokan where we could enjoy an elegant hot spring experience—including a cave bath—and delicious cuisine. However, when we arrived, my wife didn’t have much of an appetite, perhaps due to the effects of treatment. I still remember promising her, “Once there’s no risk of recurrence, we’ll definitely come back.” Now that 10 years have passed and the risk of recurrence is gone, we finally returned together—and both the second- and third-floor baths offer a wide variety of options where you can soak at ease. The bathing areas are also kept in absolutely perfect condition! In addition, each dish in the morning and evening kaiseki meals is beautifully seasoned with exquisite dashi flavors. Coming here in such a rush 10 years ago made me realize how much we were both preoccupied with illness at the time. From now on, we’ve decided to stay here every October without fail. That’s how wonderful this hot spring inn is. I can recommend it to everyone with complete confidence. P.S. I’ve attached photos of dinner and of the waterfall visible from the connecting corridor.

Everything felt compactly arranged—tight, but everything you need is there. There is no complimentary bottled water, but there is a water pitcher in the Room and a water dispenser in front of the elevator. I did laundry in the Room, and there was an iron and ironing board in front of the elevator that I was able to use.

It happened to be a day of heavy rain, so I was able to borrow an umbrella. Thank you!! It’s conveniently located close to the city, and offers excellent value for money. 　You can also have breakfast nearby!!

We visited Kinosaki Onsen on a family trip. Since it was a special occasion, we stayed at Mikiya to experience the atmosphere of Naoya Shiga’s “At Kinosaki.” The location is a bit deeper into the Onsen town, and the roads from the station to the Ryokan are generally narrow, so if you are driving, extra caution is needed during busy pedestrian hours. Compared with the lively street outside, the Accommodation itself was quiet, and we had a very relaxing time. The indoor bath is compact, but I personally found it very comfortable. You can also enjoy the public baths around town, so I recommend trying several. The meals were delicious and just the right amount. The staff were attentive as well—overall, it was a wonderfully quiet Ryokan with great character.

We stayed here to celebrate my mother’s birthday. All of the food was delicious, beautifully presented, and made for a wonderful dining experience. They also prepared a birthday dessert plate at the end, which helped us create a special birthday memory! The room we booked for the hinoki bath was very clean, well maintained, and combined with the surrounding atmosphere, the air felt wonderfully fresh. Of course, the hinoki bath itself was spacious, and we were able to relax and unwind. We were occasionally surprised by some noise from nearby rooms, but other than that we had a lovely stay.

I didn’t know Kanagawa had such a wonderful place. I was able to relax and take it easy. The room was clean, and the sound of the river was soothing. In the morning, I saw three deer crossing the river. The bath and meals were both great. Tea and water are self-serve, but I think that’s part of their effort to keep the price reasonable. I’d love to visit again.

The welcome chocolate sweets were delicious. The room was stylish, neat, and spacious—just like the photos. At dinner, each dish was carefully explained, and everything tasted wonderful. Breakfast was delivered to our room, so we could relax and enjoy a luxurious morning. Since I don’t drink alcohol, they kindly replaced the wine at both dinner and breakfast with juice. I would definitely like to stay again.

I booked this Hotel to attend a funeral. It was clean and conveniently located near the station. The twin beds were large and very comfortable. It was convenient to pick up what I needed from the lobby myself. However, the water pressure felt weak. Maybe due to a water shortage? Thank you for your hospitality.

Just as the title says—an excellent impression.

Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, and we were very satisfied. The staff were also extremely friendly. Taking off our shoes at the entrance helped us relax even more. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity!

This was our second stay! The summer atmosphere was wonderful, and as always, both breakfast and dinner were delicious. The portions are generous, but even I could finish everything easily. I also love the charming indoor bath—it has such a lovely ambiance. Everyone’s hospitality was outstanding, and we were very well taken care of. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance!

If you’re craving delicious fish, this is highly recommended! You can enjoy truly tasty fish until you’re completely satisfied. Of course, the Room is also comfortable, and it’s a nice bonus to have a view of Mt. Fuji! The horse mackerel at breakfast was so good that I bought some to take home on the way back. A wonderful Accommodation.

The hotel on Goat Island—said to have once been home to wild goats—had a wonderful view. The lobby is spacious, and there is a restaurant with great scenery. They offer “Japanese,” “Western,” and “Japanese-Western” meals. I chose the Japanese set, but I was surprised that the final rice dish was fried rice; I would have preferred plain white rice (haha). Overall, the portions were generous and everything was delicious. The pond had many fish in beautiful colors. The observation deck felt much more like an actual hike than I expected and was quite challenging, but the view was great and I’m glad I went up. The large public bath had an excellent view, and the open-air bath was very relaxing as well. It seems day-use bathing is also available, so I’d like to visit again if I have the chance. Perhaps because the building is old, there were a few spots where an odor bothered me slightly, but I hope they can continue improving.

The stay included a round of golf, and both dinner and breakfast were outstanding. The sunrise was beautiful, and we finished the ayu clay-pot rice as ochazuke. The nodoguro at breakfast was wonderfully meaty, and for dinner we grilled red shrimp and shellfish over charcoal—even eating the shrimp shells. We also had the open-air bath privately reserved both morning and night. Excellent value for money, so we’ll be back in November when crab season opens.

My daughter and I stayed for two nights. All of the front desk staff were very friendly, making our stay truly comfortable. The location is great, and they also offer welcome drinks and laundry (free of charge), so the value for money is excellent. I would definitely stay here again when visiting Hakodate.

First, there were no slippers, so you can walk around the Hotel in socks or barefoot—it felt like coming home. In the Room there were water, coffee, tea, and jelly; it was great to take the water with us while sightseeing. After using the large public bath, there was free ice cream and free massage chairs. At night we enjoyed complimentary late-night soba noodles, and the breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options—we were completely full. Check-in and check-out were smooth with the self-service machines. It’s a Hotel I’d definitely like to visit again!

Perhaps because it is a lesser-known Onsen, I felt the price was reasonable. The meals were carefully prepared and delicious. The baths in the Ryokan are simple, but the riverside open-air bath at an affiliated Facility let me truly enjoy nature. Time passes peacefully here, and it is an Accommodation I would recommend.

The staff were very friendly, and the property was clean and comfortable throughout. The bed was quite high, so getting in and out was a bit difficult, but it was extremely comfortable to sleep on. Perhaps because the weather was nice, the boxed breakfast eaten outside was also excellent and delicious. I would love to stay here again.

Spotlessly clean and excellent value for money. With the Plan including parking, I was able to check in with peace of mind. There’s nothing that can be done about it, but everything was perfect except for the squat-style toilet. Sorry—I’m not comfortable with squat toilets. In particular, the young woman at reception was very pleasant and incredibly soothing. I had a great check-in and check-out experience. Thank you so much!!

It was great that I could take my dog for a normal walk. The Room was also cleaned well, and my dog relaxed without any fuss. The bath had a larger tub than a Business Hotel, and the shampoo and other amenities provided had a pleasant herbal scent. Being able to eat in the Room was also nice because my dog didn’t feel lonely. Even though it has an auto-lock, I accidentally went out without my key, and they came to unlock it for me twice. They helped me without showing any annoyance, which I really appreciated. I’m glad there were places nearby for walks. The cakes from the cake shop just a 1-minute walk away were delicious too.
