Everything was delicious, including the sashimi at dinner and the simmered fish head. The portions were generous, and I couldn’t finish the kashiwa rice onigiri, so I took it back to my Room and enjoyed it later. The Room was clean, and I was able to relax in the bath as well. After check-out, we walked around to see the summer satoyama scenery, the Great Buddha Hall, and stone Buddhas, which was very soothing. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

While the exterior feels a bit dated, the Room has been renovated and features a clean, modern design. The Facility is not particularly new, but it is clean and comfortable with everything you need. Most noteworthy was the staff’s courteous hospitality. You will be warmly welcomed. Overall, it was an affordable, convenient, and comfortable Hotel.

Thank you very much for taking care of me during my stay. This was a solo trip to an Accommodation I had wanted to stay at for the past 15 years, and my wish finally came true. It’s been difficult to coordinate schedules with family and friends, so I was grateful that solo stays were possible. The beautiful Tateyama Mountain Range and fresh greenery were stunning. The sea is also appealing, but this time my main goal was to relax quietly and enjoy the Onsen. I chose this Accommodation expecting great cuisine and an Onsen experience—and it was absolutely the right choice! Delicious Toyama specialties that more than met my expectations, and I could truly feel the chef’s careful attention to detail. The view of the Tateyama Mountain Range from the in-room open-air bath, along with birdsong, was unforgettable. I was also deeply moved by the warm hospitality of the female staff in the restaurant. The entire property was clean and comfortable, and I slept soundly for the first time in a while. Next time, I would love to visit again with friends or family. Thank you very much.

It was the last available Room when I made the Reservation, but perhaps because it was a birthday trip, I felt they upgraded us to an even larger Room. Dinner was robatayaki. We had carp sashimi, a mushroom hot pot, and robatayaki (ayu sweetfish and shrimp, oyaki and gohei-mochi, plus grilled meat as well—far more than we could finish). It may be a bit too much for women, but grilling together made it fun for everyone. The Onsen water was silky and soothing, and I was able to relax. The open-air bath was also wonderful. In the lobby, we could enjoy morning coffee. I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

It was convenient to access from the parking lot and close to Kokusai-dori.

We chose the Western-style course meal. The dishes were beautifully presented and delicious, made with local ingredients, and the portions were generous—we were very satisfied. The hot spring water was surprisingly silky, but there was no fresh water added while we were in, so we wondered a little about how the water circulation is managed. The next morning, we checked out before 5:00 a.m. to catch the first bus from Todai Park, which was a great help. Thanks to that, we had plenty of time to get ready and enjoyed a wonderful hike. Thank you very much.

This was our third stay, and the free-flowing Onsen with no added water is outstanding. One of the highlights is being able to relax together as a couple in the private bath. Breakfast was delicious both to look at and to eat, and we were completely full. The parking lot is spacious, the location is great, and we love the views from the Room—Shirarahama Beach, sunsets, and more. We’d like to visit again when we can find the time.

I really enjoyed the daily folktales told by the storyteller and the calm atmosphere. The location was perfect for exploring the town on foot. I’d love to stay here again the next time I visit Iwate. Thank you very much. Next time, I’d like to look for the person who made the horse figurine displayed in the restaurant.

The lobby, guest rooms, dining area, and restrooms were all clean and well maintained, and we were able to spend our stay comfortably. In addition to yukata for adults, they also provided adorable yukata and even slippers for children. The front desk staff spoke directly to our child, and we really appreciated their thoughtfulness in treating even a small child as an individual guest. If I could make one request regarding the facilities, it would be that the elevator be a bit larger or that there be an additional one. The large public bath was on the 5th floor, but when trying to ride from our room floor we sometimes ran into other guests with large suitcases. We had to let it go by about twice, and on the way back to our room we took the stairs. For dinner, they cooked rice at our table over about 30 minutes, so we could enjoy piping-hot, glossy Koshihikari rice. That was genuinely impressive! We also enjoyed the sashimi, chawanmushi (steamed egg custard), and simmered kinmedai (splendid alfonsino). However, for our family the portions were a bit too much—we felt bad leaving most of the hot pot dishes. The kids’ plate for toddlers included items children love such as fried shrimp, hamburger steak, and gratin, and our child happily ate it. Having a kids’ space next to the dining area was also a huge help for us as a family with children. While we ate at ease, our child watched Thomas & Friends videos and played with other kids. I do regret leaving without trying the coffee service or muffins in the lobby—but that just gives us another reason to come back next time. This is a hotel I can recommend to families traveling with children. This time we used the Hakone Yumoto Station hot-springs loop bus; however on the way back it can get crowded and sometimes you may not be able to board if it’s full. I recommend walking along the riverside path toward the station instead.

I stayed one night on my own as a man nearing 60. I used to visit from time to time, but after my divorce last year I stopped coming for a while. I decided it was time to reset and enjoy solo travel again. The parking guidance was very kind, and the proprietress’s welcome felt wonderful. The room had a private open-air bath and was very clean; although not new, it had great character and was truly relaxing. After being shown to my room, I immediately enjoyed the signature “Tanbo-no-Yu” bath. Since it was a Friday even though it was a weekday, there were many families and the place felt lively. There are several baths at different temperatures, so you easily lose track of time and end up staying longer than planned. And despite what some reviews say, there was absolutely no chlorine smell at all. The water was excellent, and even eased the pain from small cuts on my skin quite a bit—thank you. Dining is what I look forward to most when visiting Ryusenkaku. It’s always delicious: kaiseki-style creative cuisine that combines delicate dashi flavors with bold preparation, beautifully presented so you can enjoy it with your eyes as well. Some reviews mentioned that service by foreign staff is not good, but that wasn’t true at all! Meals (including breakfast) are served in private rooms, and the guidance and service were very kind and easy to understand—I could relax and enjoy everything with peace of mind. For someone traveling alone like me, it’s nothing less than blissful! “Tanbo-no-Yu” is available until 10:00 p.m., so I went again after dinner. I love “Tanbo-no-Yu” at night—the steam drifting through the spotlight makes it especially beautiful. I could soak forever. After that, I enjoyed the in-room open-air bath right up until bedtime. Again, there was no chlorine smell like some people mention. Having an in-room open-air bath you can use freely anytime without worrying about others is truly top-tier luxury! I’ve also seen comments about Wi-Fi not connecting or weak reception, but in my room there were no issues at all. In the morning I enjoyed the in-room open-air bath right up until checkout time; when I went to the front desk to check out, there was another pleasant surprise. On previous visits I hadn’t known this, but this time I learned that there is also a young proprietress (the owner’s daughter). She is incredibly beautiful—and while natural and unpretentious in her manner—exceptionally kind as well; she seemed like such a wonderful person! When seeing me off at my car she waved with a lovely smile—it made for an extremely pleasant stay overall. Now I have yet another reason to look forward to visiting Ryusenkaku! Thank you as always for such a wonderful time. I’ll be back again!

I stayed with my husband during the New Year. It was snowing and cold that day, but the Room was warm and welcoming with the heater on. The bath was very relaxing, but there was only one hairdryer, and despite others waiting, someone kept using it while looking at their phone, so I dried my hair in the Room. The meals were more than expected in quantity—so much that we couldn’t finish everything. We ate plenty of crab to our satisfaction. If you choose this Ryokan, I recommend coming with an empty stomach! Although we couldn’t explore due to the snow, I would love to stay at this Ryokan again.

We woke up early and went for a walk to Kanazawa Castle Park and Oyama Shrine. It was wonderful to be able to pray in a quiet, uncrowded atmosphere. It was great that we could stay at Korinkyo as the perfect starting point for the morning. The night before, we enjoyed plenty of drinks and food, so the breakfast rice porridge was incredibly delicious. The soy milk served before the meal was also excellent. We would love to visit again.

Great location (about a 3–5 minute walk from Chiba New Town Chuo Station), good staff service and explanations, good Room amenities, and a nice bath. The only thing I noticed was breakfast. I appreciated that they refilled the menu items and kept the plates and tongs clean, and everything really was clean—thank you—but it felt a bit excessive. Do they need to do it over and over? Sorry to put it bluntly, but it got in the way of getting food. The taste and selection were good.

This was my first time using this accommodation. The facility is small, and the building is old, so the equipment is average, but I think it is well-maintained. The sense of security during the stay and the breakfast service met my expectations and were satisfying. If I had to point out something, it would be that the bathroom operates on a gender-swapping schedule, limiting usage times, and there is only one elevator, which can lead to waiting during busy hours. That said, there are restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance, making it a very convenient location.

Pros: Friendly service. Great location—close to Yubatake and with parking available. Clean and well maintained. I used the bath at night and in the morning, and had it all to myself both times. The bread was delicious. Cons: The TV screen is small, so keep that in mind if you plan to watch TV. You can hear footsteps in the hallway. There were no slippers (they might be available), which wasn’t a big issue but felt a bit unusual.

The Facilities were excellent, and we enjoyed a relaxing dinner in our Room. We were very satisfied with both the price and what was included, making it a wonderful one-night stay. Thank you very much. That said, while the simple style was nice in its own way, we would have appreciated a few thoughtful words from the Accommodation staff at check-in and check-out, or a small service such as offering a cup of coffee after breakfast.

Although I’d known the name, this was my first stay. During a break in the rainy weather, I walked from Tonosawa Station, and it felt like a little hidden retreat. In hindsight, it was probably the right choice compared with taking the bus from Yumoto along the crowded road. From the moment I arrived, I received a very warm welcome, and the view from my room was wonderful—I could have spent all day doing nothing but looking out. There were fresh Japanese sweets on the desk as a complimentary treat; since many places offer only packaged snacks, this made me especially happy. There are quite a few stairs, but the property is a comfortable size, so I quickly got used to moving around and thoroughly enjoyed the baths. The atmospheric bath with stained glass, the open-air bath reached by walking outside for a short distance, and the bright private bath on the top floor—all had wonderfully smooth water. Most guests were international. (Not at all the inn’s fault, but I was surprised to see someone enter wearing swimwear and carrying a smartphone.) Meals were served in an impressive hall with a magnificent coffered ceiling full of character. The painted sliding doors were also beautiful—it was truly a rare experience. All of the staff seemed highly experienced; whenever I asked something they answered carefully, and I was moved by how proudly they worked. This is an outstanding inn filled with hospitality—somewhere I would love to return to regularly. My room had great views over the Hayakawa River; during prolonged rain it became quite loud, so if you’re sensitive to noise you may want earplugs. The building is full of highlights yet somehow warm and cozy as well—and maintaining it must be no easy task. It’s such a wonderful place that I sincerely hope will remain for many years to come.

The staff were very kind and suggested an efficient route, which allowed us to visit all the World Heritage sites in just six hours. Also, with the all-inclusive plan, we could enjoy unlimited drinks and snacks during our stay, plus special drinks available only at dinner, making it easy to relax. The night sky we saw from the hammock at midnight was breathtaking. Thank you very much.

I use this place whenever there is a forecast for heavy snow or snowfall. I saw the staff clearing the parking lot of snow early in the morning from my Room. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to take my car out safely. Thank you very much.

I’ve stayed here several times, but this was my first time at Kobushi. ○ There is a gap at the bottom of the Room door, so outside noise carries in easily. ○ Because there is no door to the dining area, food smells spread throughout the entire floor. Also, dinner time is set at 90 minutes, and the next dishes come slowly. When dining with a child (one-plate meal), they finished early and it was difficult. These two points were drawbacks. Everything else was perfect. You can enjoy yourself from morning until late afternoon the next day! You can play a lot and relax, and everyone from children to adults will be satisfied. No matter how many times we come, my child says they want to stay again. Regarding meals, I’d appreciate it if the serving pace could be faster for guests with children—once they finish eating, they have nothing to do.
