I’ve stayed here three times over the past year. The building itself is old, so there are some Room repairs, but the front desk service is great. There is also an Onsen that can fit about four people, and it’s a Hotel where you can stay comfortably and feel satisfied. When I come back to visit family, this is always my first choice. If I’m able to come home for New Year’s as well, I’ll definitely make a Reservation.

The Onsen on the 1st floor was spacious and very relaxing. I was concerned about a chlorine smell, but it was hardly noticeable. I enjoyed it twice, at night and early in the morning. The breakfast was also delicious, and the dining area was comfortably spacious. I will definitely use this facility again.

After sightseeing at Okaido and Matsuyama Castle, I arrived within walking distance. Near the front desk, you pick up essentials such as bathrobes and brushes to take to your Room. There is also a sake tasting service. On the second floor, there are massage chairs and a manga corner. There is also a limited-time drink bar where you can enjoy free sours and highballs. Mini ramen is available as well. With rental bicycles, it’s easy to access Dogo Onsen and nearby Kotobuki Onsen (Kotobuki Onsen is inexpensive). Breakfast was more than sufficient, with items like jakoten fish cakes and Pon Juice. This Hotel offered outstanding value for money, and the front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful.

From the moment you step into the Hotel, it has a calming atmosphere, and you can enjoy complimentary drinks and coffee in the lobby lounge or on the terrace with stunning views. The entire property and the guest room were very clean, and the bed was so comfortable that I slept soundly until morning. Both dinner and breakfast were generous bento meals with sashimi and a hot pot, plus five kinds of Shodoshima’s famous tsukudani—everything was delicious. The sunset was incredibly beautiful and soothing. Thank you very much. I will definitely visit again.

We chose this Hotel to see events such as Setsubun, and we were very satisfied. However, my husband mentioned that it would be nice if there were aftershave lotion for men as well. We would like to stay here again when we visit Kyoto.

This time, I came to Fukushima Prefecture to support my son at his tournament. My mom friends and I each booked our own Room, and after returning to the Hotel we were able to spend our time freely—taking a bath, resting, and relaxing in our own way. Since my Room was on the 6th floor, I could enjoy an open view of the surrounding area from the window, which was wonderful. The best part was the breakfast buffet in the Hotel. There were so many delicious dishes that I ended up eating far more than I usually can in the morning. Because it was a Multiple Night Stay, looking forward to breakfast each day became one of my favorite parts of the trip. My only regret is that after enjoying the games and going out for drinks with my mom friends every night, I was so tired that I used the unit bath in my Room and didn’t get to use the Onsen even once. I had stayed at Route Inn Hotel in Kyoto over 20 years ago and had a great impression back then as well, so I booked this stay with high expectations—and it was even more relaxing and satisfying than I hoped!

I stayed here to watch Gujo Odori. The lobby and shared Facility had a retro Showa-era vibe, but everything felt clean, and the Room had been newly and stylishly renovated. There is no large public bath. It was a bit inconvenient that there was no door between the toilet and the washbasin area. The Shuttle Service by minibus to near the Gujo Odori venue was very convenient. Breakfast starts early, and checkout is also early at 10:00, which may be typical for an old-fashioned Hotel, but it did feel a little rushed. Thank you very much.

This was my first time staying at this Hotel. The front desk staff were wonderful, and the food was delicious—I was very satisfied. Just one thing: coffee was provided in the morning, but it was a coffee drink rather than brewed coffee, which was a little disappointing. Still, considering everything overall, I felt it offered excellent value for money. Thank you very much.

We chose the Surprise Plan for a celebration, and the communication was very courteous. The Room and open-air bath were spacious, relaxing, and very clean. We were also happy to have plenty of free drinks. We chose the wagyu course, and everything was delicious. The staff were friendly, and we enjoyed chatting with them as well. Being able to adjust the open-air bath ourselves meant we could always soak at just the right temperature, which was a great feature. Breakfast was also excellent. We felt refreshed in both body and mind, the surprise was a success, and we’re truly glad we chose this place. We’d love to stay in one of the other Rooms too!

I stayed during the lovely summer season.\nBecause it was a weekday, they upgraded my Room, and I was able to enjoy a very spacious Japanese-style room.\nThe town itself has a calm, homey feel and hasn’t been overly commercialized for tourism; being surrounded 360 degrees by nature—green and blue—was truly refreshing for both body and mind.\nThe building has been renovated, so it didn’t feel old and everything was kept clean. However, from the entrance to the lobby there were everyday items that felt a bit cluttered, which was a slight downside for anyone looking for an escape from daily life.\nThat said, the gentleman at the front desk was very kind and warm-hearted, the meals (both dinner and breakfast) were delicious, and the staff’s thoughtful hospitality made me feel like “it’s like coming back to Grandpa’s house,” so overall I’m glad I chose this Accommodation.\nThere is an open-air bath, but it felt slightly exposed as if someone might be able to look in from outside, so in the morning I used only the indoor bath.

It was a short stay, but I was able to spend it comfortably. I would like to use it again when I am on a business trip.

I booked at a great price with a coupon, so I wasn’t expecting much, but I was very happy that the meal included grilled salt ayu. I recently stayed at Suimeikan in Gero, but they didn’t serve ayu. All the staff were pleasant and made me feel relaxed. I visit every year to pay my respects at the grave, so I’ll stay here again.

The fresh fish sashimi was outstanding. The meat dishes were also delicious, and we were very satisfied. The service was courteous and attentive. I think this Accommodation would be comfortable with no issues for guests up to their 60s. As Tokiwaya is a traditional Ryokan, I felt there are many challenges in terms of accessibility. I stayed with my 95-year-old mother, so I made a Reservation for a Room with a private bath, but there were many steps inside the Room and the bathtub was deep (my mother was able to step over it), which unfortunately made it difficult to use.

Simple but delicious. With side dishes like Navy curry and rice topped with raw egg, I ended up eating until I was completely full from the morning. The miso soup really warmed me to the core.

From check-in, everything was easy to find and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The bath was available until 2:00 a.m. and again from 5:00 a.m., so I could use it whenever I wanted, and I really appreciated the guest-first approach rather than rules set for the Accommodation’s convenience. The Facility was also clean—nothing to complain about.

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.

Both the breakfast and dinner buffets were delicious, and we were very satisfied. The view from the Onsen was wonderful, and we were especially happy that there was a carbonated bath. The price was reasonable and made it easy to stay, which was very helpful. We would definitely like to stay again if we have the opportunity.

I was very satisfied with my stay again. They provided a spacious, clean Room and kindly accommodated requests such as adjusting the bedding. The ladies-only floor also felt very safe. I would definitely like to stay here again next time. Thank you very much.

This was my first stay for the Takasaki Fireworks Festival. It was close to the venue and also near bars, so I would like to stay again. I felt the price was reasonable, and I had a great time. I was also worried about parking because of the fireworks festival, but there was a dedicated Hotel parking lot available, which was very helpful.

Both the Room and the large public bath were clean, and I had a comfortable stay. I especially liked that the toothbrush felt high-quality. Thank you very much.
