It was absolutely wonderful. The Room was very clean, and it was perfect for staying with children. The washing machine and bathroom were also spotless, making the stay extremely comfortable and easy.

While Tokyo was experiencing relentless extreme heat every day, we thoroughly enjoyed the coolness of the highlands. Early in the morning, we could see Mt. Fuji from our Room. Perhaps because it is under the Tokyu Harvest brand, many guests were on the older side, and maybe by chance there were no inbound tour groups, so it was quiet and relaxing overall in both the restaurant and the baths. The front desk staff were also very friendly and pleasant, which we really appreciated. The Facility itself may not be new, but it has been renovated and felt clean, so there were no issues at all. Although it is located at an altitude of 700 m and takes a bit of time to reach from lower areas, we would definitely like to visit again.

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.

Thank you very much for your kind and attentive support regarding our recent stay, despite the inconvenience on our side. We also truly appreciated your thoughtful words to my family. I will be traveling to Oita again in the future, and I would be happy to stay with you again then. I was able to sleep well before heading to the disaster area, and the meals were delicious—they really gave me renewed energy. Thank you again!

I stayed here for a live show at Makuhari Messe. It’s close to the station, and the area around the Hotel has everything—supermarkets, drugstores, and convenience stores—so it was perfect. The Room was more spacious than I expected and very comfortable, and the buffet was delicious. The Hotel staff were kind, and when I headed out for the second day’s show, they even thoughtfully gave me a cooling towel, which was a big help. This is a Hotel I’d like to stay at again.

Now that we’re done raising our children, five friends and I take a girls’ trip every year, and we often stay at APA Hotels. The lobby staff are kind, and at the APA Hotel in Ishigaki Island we were able to enjoy 24-hour complimentary drinks and soft-serve ice cream, which made for a very comfortable stay. However, an elderly woman overseeing the breakfast area repeatedly told us to put the tables back and clear the dishes before even waiting to see if we would do so, which was very unpleasant.

I stayed on the No Meals Included Plan. I really liked the Room and was able to spend a fulfilling time. The staff were very kind, and I had a very pleasant stay. It rained this time, so if I have the chance next time, I’d like to relax on the rooftop.

The Facility was very clean and comfortable, and it felt like coming back to the countryside. The bath was private, and having meals served in our Room was wonderful. The futon was fluffy, and I slept soundly. The hostess had a calm, relaxed manner that put me at ease, and the hospitality was outstanding. Thank you very much.

The full panorama of the Yatsugatake Mountains was beautifully visible from the window, and the small birds that came to the birch trees were soothing. Since the price was casual, I didn’t expect much from the meals, but the beef was tender and flavorful, and both the enoki mushroom tempura and whole grilled trout marinated in miso were surprisingly delicious. The staff were also very pleasant. With wonderful views and food, this was an Accommodation I would visit again and again if it were closer. I don’t usually write a Review, but this time I felt I had to write one to say thank you.

Local Hotels are great. In the city, even single rooms are outrageously expensive, so this price with breakfast included must be thanks to the Hotel’s hard work. I’ll stay here again when I come to eat fried horse mackerel. The front desk and dining hall staff were also excellent. The parking lot is spacious, so you can park your car with peace of mind.

Both dinner and breakfast are delicious. There is a wide variety of dishes, and the dessert selection is excellent. You can wrap your own crepes, and the shaved ice is wonderfully fluffy—kids will be very happy. Free beer and plum wine were also a nice touch for adults. The Onsen is a bit small, but there is an open-air bath as well. I was slightly concerned about the areas where the floor was green. Dust was noticeable on the tray where the glasses were placed in the Room. There is also a pool next door. You can enjoy both the pool and swimming in the sea.

A quiet countryside Accommodation in the satoyama hills. The owner is a former top-division sumo wrestler, Kenzan, and the property is decorated with many sumo photos and wrestlers’ handprints. In the open-air bath styled like a sumo ring, you can hear birds singing and enjoy a cool breeze through the trees—it’s wonderful.\n\nThe meals also use local ingredients and are very enjoyable. The rates are very reasonable as well. Highly recommended, and the hostess is warm and welcoming.

The Onsen was wonderful, and the breakfast was delicious. The staff were welcoming and attentive. My friend and I said we’d like to come again. The Room was spacious, and the view from the window was great. We were satisfied with everything.

We stayed with a total of seven guests—five adults and two young children—and everyone was able to relax comfortably throughout our stay. The luxurious, open layout was truly impressive, never once feeling cramped even with this many people. True to the “self auberge” concept, shopping for fresh local ingredients and taking our time cooking them over the lava stone hearth was an exceptional experience. It wasn’t just about cooking—we enjoyed a truly indulgent time gathered around the fire, relaxing and chatting at our own pace. The private sauna was also outstanding; after reaching peak relaxation, the panoramic view of the town from the elevated terrace was breathtaking. The interior design, amenities, and tableware were all thoughtfully curated down to the smallest details, making it feel like one night simply wasn’t enough. Both adults and children were completely satisfied, and we will definitely be back again.

The building is old, but the Room had been renovated. Dinner was outstanding. Each dish was carefully prepared, and it was a truly satisfying experience—delicious not only to taste but also to enjoy with the eyes. The foreign staff member who assisted us was also extremely polite and hardworking, which made us feel genuinely warm and welcomed. That day there were few guests, and it seemed that the Accommodation thoughtfully placed our Room farther away from others. It may have just been by chance. Thanks to that, we were able to fully enjoy a quiet, private time in a spacious setting. We were impressed by such wonderful consideration. The food, service, and atmosphere were all comfortable, and we would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay at Yulax, and it was even better than I imagined. First, the cold plunge. It’s properly cold, and above all it’s deep—being fully enveloped by the water feels incredible. Hitting the MADMAX button and getting drenched with a huge rush of water from head to toe is also amazing—I could do that again and again (laugh). The sauna itself is truly relaxing, and the aufguss at “THIS IS IT” especially stayed with me. The music, heat, and performance make it feel less like a sauna and more like live entertainment. That experience alone made the trip worth it. What unexpectedly left an impression was the other guests. I got the sense many were in their 20s to 40s, and everyone had excellent manners. It felt like there are many people who love saunas and genuinely care about this place. It’s a comfortable space not only because of the Facility, but also because of the people who gather here. Including that atmosphere, I couldn’t help but feel that what the owner wanted to create—their vision—has truly taken shape. The relaxation areas are well equipped too, so you can unwind for hours after your sauna session. The food was very satisfying; in particular, the mapo tofu was generous in portion size and genuinely delicious. Even aside from eating after a sauna, it’s something I’d want to have again. The parking lot is spacious as well, which makes it easy to visit by car. Yulax wasn’t just a place to use a sauna. It’s somewhere you can step away from work and everyday worries, clear your mind, and spend time for yourself. By the time I left, even my mood felt lighter. For me, it was “a place where I can find myself again.” I definitely want to come back.

This was my second stay. Last time I traveled solo and used a twin room as single occupancy, but this time I stayed with my partner (my wife) for 3 nights and 4 days. I booked a twin Western-style room for the first two nights, and a Japanese-Western style room for the third night because the twin was unavailable. However, thanks to the Hotel’s kindness, we were upgraded to a very spacious Japanese-Western style room for all three nights. Thank you very much. The main purpose of this trip was the Sapporo Snow Festival for the first time in six years. With hotel prices in central Sapporo rising sharply recently, we chose this Hotel again because we had a great experience before. When comparing rates, this Hotel with breakfast and dinner can sometimes be cheaper than central-area hotels with breakfast only (depending on when you make your Reservation). This time we rented a car from the airport, but if you are not used to driving on snowy roads, taking the bus is honestly recommended. Also, at this Hotel, if the schedule works out, using the free Shuttle Service bus is an excellent value. We used the Shuttle Service one-way from the Hotel to Sapporo Station on our second day (they were running five large buses). After enjoying the Snow Festival, we returned to the Hotel by taking Jotetsu Bus “Kappa Liner,” using its last service (departing 17:00 from in front of the station). On day three, we relaxed by visiting nearby Hoheikyo Onsen for a day trip bath and their famous curry, and took an easy stroll around town in the snowy hot-spring area. As for the Hotel itself, you can enjoy various baths at both an underground Onsen area and an observation bath & open-air bath on the top floor. That said—perhaps because there isn’t enough source water volume for baths of that size—the “Onsen feel” is slightly mild. Meals were buffet-style for both breakfast and dinner. Given that it was peak season at such a huge Resort Hotel, it gets extremely crowded in a massive dining venue, so it’s better to avoid peak times. The buffet selection may not match top-tier luxury resort standards, but it was satisfying—for example, breakfast included seafood bowls where you can add as much salmon roe as you like. If you’re visiting Sapporo for sightseeing, staying in central Sapporo is convenient; however, this Hotel offers great value with breakfast and dinner included plus Onsen access—and even free Shuttle Service buses from near Sapporo Station—so I may well return for a third stay. One extra note: the new wing has three glass elevators, and two regular elevators on the inner side of the building opposite them. The glass elevators have great views, but in midwinter (around -10°C), they are very cold inside, so we ended up using the inner ones most of the time.

This was my repeat stay, and once again I felt it is an outstanding Hotel in every way. The thoughtful attention to detail, the staff’s naturally warm hospitality, and the impeccably maintained surroundings were all perfect. I have stayed at other Hotels on Kohama Island, but this is the only choice for me.

The sound of the ocean waves is very soothing at this Hotel. The sea-facing Room offers an amazing view. There are four dog runs—indoor, rooftop, pool area, and next to the parking lot—allowing small dogs to play together a lot, which was very satisfying. The dinner kaiseki cuisine was incredibly delicious. Enjoying drinks and relaxing while our beloved dogs had their meals made for a truly happy time. This is definitely a place we would like to visit again. Thank you!

It was very comfortable. It’s definitely small, but if you’re just taking a bath and sleeping, it’s great value for money and more than enough. Being able to stretch out in the bathtub was the best. Having the toilet separate from the bathroom is also good. If I had one complaint: for a solo stay it feels secure, but when staying with two people, we sometimes wanted to go downstairs to get drinks. Since there is only one Room key, you have to remove the key before you can use the elevator and return to the Room, which was inconvenient. The morning bread and coffee were delicious, so everything else was perfect.
