Unfortunately, the weather during our stay was rainy, but we were able to relax so comfortably in the Room that we hardly noticed. The living area with an irori hearth was filled with natural light from the large windows, creating an open and inviting space. We enjoyed meals and watched movies on Amazon Prime, spending peaceful time together at our own pace. The Takigawa beef dishes were also delicious and very satisfying. Although it rained, we could still stroll around the grounds and enjoy matcha at the teahouse as well as a tea ceremony experience, which our older family members especially appreciated. The upstairs bedroom also had large windows with a great view, allowing us to spend a quiet and luxurious time. The bath was designed so the window could be opened fully, and it was memorable to soak comfortably while listening to the sound of rain. On our way home, we stopped by a nearby sightseeing spot, Shiraito Falls, which offered a spectacular view as well. This time we unfortunately couldn’t see Mt. Fuji, but next time we would love to visit on a clear day and enjoy a stay while taking in the view of Mt. Fuji.

I stayed for 2 nights. I had made separate 1-night Reservations for the same Room type on different dates through different sites, so I called about a week before my stay to ask if they could treat it as a Multiple Night Stay, and they kindly agreed. However, when I tried to check in on the day, it was not set up as a Multiple Night Stay. Still, although it took some time, they arranged it so I could stay in the same Room for both nights, which was very helpful. The Hotel was clean. The sink and bath area were compact but not an issue. The refrigerator worked well too. My Room was near the elevator, but I hardly noticed any noise from the hallway. Overall, my stay was very comfortable.

This is my second visit. (In my previous Review, I mistakenly called it a Business Hotel, but it’s actually a lifestyle hotel. My apologies!) I think it’s a wonderful Hotel for close mother-and-daughter trips, girlfriends traveling together, or even solo stays. The location is also very convenient—right by Marutamachi Station near the Kyoto Imperial Palace. The bathroom area is clean and easy to use, and I really enjoyed soaking in the large bathtub with the lighting dimmed. In the spacious, quiet lounge, you can enjoy carefully selected books while sipping detox water or tea. I’d love to come back again just for this lounge. With reasonable prices, it’s easy to use for many purposes—Multiple Night Stay as a sightseeing base or a quiet reading getaway—so I especially recommend this Hotel for women travelers.

The owner was very kind and gave us a warm welcome. They recommended many wonderful local attractions, such as apple picking, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The Room was spacious enough for one person, very quiet at night, and provided a comfortable stay. Additionally, the **bath (bathtub)** allowed me to relax as if I were at home. I would love to stay here again if I have the chance!

Thank you for hosting me during my solo trip to Oita. As mentioned in the reviews, I enjoyed the exceptional onsen and delicious meals. The private bath allowed me to relax at my own pace. Dinner included Oita specialties like toriten and ryukyu, along with various other dishes that paired perfectly with beer. The next morning, I received helpful advice about sightseeing after check-out and purchased a ticket for the mushiyu experience at the accommodation, which was slightly discounted. The balance of attentive yet unobtrusive service made my stay very comfortable. If I have the chance to visit Kannawa Onsen again, I would love to stay here. Thank you for everything!

This was a pension run by a child-loving couple who treated us kindly while keeping a comfortable distance. The meals were very delicious, and there were plenty of toys, so our child had a great time too. Given the area where temperatures don’t rise easily, I was surprised there was no air conditioning. Since we’re used to AC, it felt a bit humid. However, it became more comfortable as it got later at night. There aren’t many power outlets, so I thought an extension cord would be helpful for charging phones and moving the fan around. Also, although everything was kept clean, we did see ants indoors and small bugs popping in to say hello. Since it’s an Accommodation in the woods, this was acceptable for us, but people who dislike insects might make a fuss. SoftBank reception was weak, but the Wi‑Fi saved us. Overall, it was a very comfortable and wonderful Accommodation. We hope the couple take good care of themselves and can keep this place going for a long time.

The owner was very kind and took great care of me. I visited solo on a motorcycle, and they even prepared a garage for me, so I could park safely with peace of mind. The interior is a typical traditional guesthouse, but it is well maintained and feels very comfortable. And the meals were truly delicious, full of local ingredients—especially the tempura made with Japanese pepper leaves (sansho). It was my first time trying it, and it was amazing! I was completely satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. As for bathing, there are many public baths nearby, which is very convenient. They also kindly lent me shampoo and soap—too kind! I was so satisfied that the value for money almost made me worry. Highly recommended!

This was our fourth stay. Ever since our first visit, we’ve been impressed by the delicious meals, the relaxing Onsen, and the wonderful hospitality of the proprietress and all the staff—an Accommodation that always makes us want to return. It also has a charming, nostalgic atmosphere, and the Room was spotless and beautifully maintained—nothing to complain about. We’re planning to visit again next year, and we’re already looking forward to it.

I made a Reservation for a meal course that included a boat-style sashimi platter. When I mentioned at check-in that I planned to try every bath, the front desk staff advised me not to overdo it because I might feel unwell from soaking too much. They were right—I’m glad I didn’t try them all. There were that many baths. For this price, the combination of the meal and the baths was excellent.

My child came home to visit and brought friends, so we booked at the last minute with the No Meals Included option. The Room Plan was up to the property, but it seems there was availability and we were given a very nice room. They were very happy. We would definitely like to stay again.

This was my first visit to Hakone. The serene, nature-rich environment and the beautifully renovated interior of the facility and Room made for a very comfortable stay. The open-air bath was wonderful, allowing us to relax while enjoying views of the trees. The Japanese-Western style Room we stayed in with our beloved dog had a dining table, allowing us to enjoy a luxurious dinner in the Room, which was highly satisfying. The tatami area in the Japanese-style room was new and spacious, providing a relaxing atmosphere. Our dogs seemed delighted with both the spacious Room and the dog run. The staff members, including those from overseas, were all very kind and provided heartfelt service that left a great impression on us. We are grateful for how this trip added color to our journey through Hakone during its beautiful autumn foliage season. We look forward to visiting again during another season!

We stayed for three nights as a family of three. From the moment we entered the Room, we were captivated by its charm and felt excited. Check-in went smoothly thanks to our email communication in advance. Although we didn’t meet the owner in person, their thoughtful support made us feel at ease throughout our stay. The parking space is also conveniently located right next to the entrance. The in-room amenities—such as the washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, and electric kettle—were easy to use, and both the bathroom and bedroom were exceptionally clean. We truly enjoyed a comfortable stay on Shodoshima. Above all, the best highlight was the view from the window. We have always loved Shodoshima, but this stay made us love it even more. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I came by rental car. It’s a bit far, but that’s Hokkaido for you. First, the Room: it was a dormitory for three, but I shared with one person around my age, and we had a comfortable amount of personal space, so I could relax. Dinner was delicious home-style cooking with a wonderful handmade feel. Breakfast was also to my taste—gentle flavors you don’t get at a Hotel buffet, like salted grilled hokke. I saw the owner wiping down chairs that had gotten wet from the rain. Even though they were busy, I was truly impressed by their thoughtfulness. The scenery outside after the rain was uniquely Hokkaido—beautiful and breathtaking.

On a Multiple Night Stay with my elderly mother, the staff were very considerate in many ways, and we were able to spend our time comfortably. The meals were delicious, but for my elderly mother and me (over 60), the portions were too large to finish. We didn’t need lunch; snacks were enough. The Onsen water was great, and we could relax in the scenic-view bath, the family bath, and the steam bath. However, the bathtub in our Room was too deep, which felt a bit dangerous, so unfortunately my mother couldn’t use it. Since there is no elevator, I think guests with mobility issues should check in advance. The sunrise and morning glow from our Room and from the scenic-view bath—as well as the night view—were very beautiful scenery that we could have watched forever.

I had a wonderful time at this Accommodation where I could relax and fully enjoy both the Kinsen and Ginsen Onsen. Is the owner a woman who loves Onsen? It wasn’t excessive, but everything I wanted was thoughtfully provided, making my stay very comfortable. I also appreciated the complimentary free-drink service. The large public bath allows up to seven women, but since there are four private baths as well, it never felt crowded. If I may make a small request, it would be great to have tissue paper available in the private baths too, and having both M and L sizes of loungewear in the Room would be helpful so guests can choose what fits best. I would love to stay here again when I visit Arima Onsen. Thank you very much.

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay of two nights with breakfast included. Sometimes you get the same meals when staying multiple nights, but I was happy that the menu changed. There were many dishes and the portions were satisfying. The tableware was also lovely. The Ryokan has been renovated and both the exterior and interior are very clean. However, because the structure is an older wooden building, outside noise carries easily. More than voices, you can hear footsteps quite clearly. I stayed in a Room on the 2nd floor, and on the first night I could hear footsteps from upstairs until around 1:00 a.m., which was stressful. If you are sensitive to noise, it may be better to request a Room on the 3rd floor. When it rained, umbrellas and rain shoes were prepared at the entrance, so my feet didn’t get wet. Many people were walking outside in geta in the rain, but I was impressed by the rain-shoe service. The coffee, black tea, tea, and electrolyzed water service was also great. It felt like there were many younger staff members, but everyone was pleasant and helpful—and their English was fluent as well. It was a wonderful Ryokan where you can really feel attention to detail in everything from tableware and interior design to furniture and services. I would definitely like to stay again.

We stayed here with three households of our children to celebrate a 60th birthday. Dinner was served in a private dining room, and we were allowed to decorate it, so our family had a wonderful time together. They even lent us a red celebratory vest and prepared a festive ball for the occasion, which made the celebration truly exciting. They also took photos for us, and on departure they gave us not just one print but enough for each household—such thoughtful service in every way. The meals, the Onsen, and the service were all outstanding, making it a truly unforgettable memory. Thank you very much. We are very glad we chose this Accommodation.

The meals were very delicious.

This is a family-run guesthouse operated by a couple. On the day of my stay, it was almost just me, so I was able to spend a quiet, relaxing time after coming down from the mountain. If I had to ask for one thing, having a bath towel would have been helpful... Overall, I was very satisfied with the service. I’d love to stay here again when I visit Hakuba for hiking. When I asked about the return bus schedule, they kindly provided Shuttle Service to the station, which was a huge help in the rain. It’s an Accommodation where their warm hospitality really shows, and I would recommend it.

Thank you for your attention to detail.
