We stayed here to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. As soon as we drove up to the entrance, the staff—already waiting—welcomed us with amazingly smooth, attentive service. I was nervous in an unfamiliar place, but before I knew it I was in the lobby with Bach playing softly, looking out at the sea and enjoying a chilled glass of champagne, my excitement building. The space was spotless and warmly appointed, and the selection of sweets, drinks, and amenities showed impeccable taste. The toothbrush was the most comfortable I’ve ever used. Above all, the bath was outstanding. With the window open, listening to birdsong and gazing at the ocean—and because it’s free-flowing—I even tried skipping a rinse-off and body cream afterward, yet my skin stayed moisturized without drying out! At dusk, the view from the lounge was beautiful. The British ginger lemonade was delicious, and we’re especially grateful to the elegant and attentive female staff member who made the lounge so wonderfully comfortable—thank you as well for preparing an orange liqueur for us at the end. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent; not only did everything taste wonderful, but the ingredients and presentation were beautiful too. That said, I couldn’t stop eating bread and butter and ended up too full by the time we reached the main course! Even so, it was cooked perfectly and tasted superb—I finished it all. Next time I’ll pace myself so I can fully enjoy everything through to the main dish. The young service staff were also highly professional and impressive. Even without mentioning that it was an anniversary—and even as first-time guests simply dropping by—we received consistently thoughtful hospitality throughout. Thank you very much.

The cuisine, Room, Onsen, and service were all excellent. It truly made us want to come back! At the end of our summer vacation, we made wonderful memories here and felt motivated to work hard again. We have stayed at other Accommodations in Ikaho several times, but Kogure is the best. Please continue your warm hospitality and bring comfort to many more guests.

This has become my go-to place to stay. All the staff are wonderful and very attentive. The rooms are well cared for, spacious, and lovely, and I always have a comfortable stay. This time, the breakfast at the morning market dining area had been upgraded as well—it was excellent. Thank you as always. I look forward to staying with you again.

We celebrated his birthday here. We chose this Accommodation to celebrate as the last couple before we become husband and wife when we visit Shimabara again next year. We were truly impressed by the staff’s thoughtful hospitality, and the locally sourced cuisine was absolutely delicious. The in-Room sauna and bath were both excellent. Everything was perfect.

We stayed here to celebrate my mother’s birthday. The meals were truly delicious, and I was especially happy to see my mother—who usually eats lightly—enjoy so much. Even while you were busy serving, you were very attentive, and when we shared how impressed we were with the dishes, you kindly explained the ideas and techniques behind them. It made for a wonderful time. We felt refreshed by the pleasant Onsen and your thoughtful hospitality. My mother is already excited to come back next time with her friends. I would also love to visit again in a different season. Thank you very much.

We visited by car from Tokyo as a late summer vacation trip for the two of us. This was a wonderfully hospitable inn, and we were able to spend our time in true comfort from arrival to check-out. The in-room bath was great, and the large public bath also had a lovely atmosphere. Everything was impeccably cleaned and very hygienic, so we could relax with complete peace of mind. Above all, the dishes made with local ingredients were delicious, and the friendly head chef’s personality was wonderful as well. We’d love to try the cuisine in another season, so we will definitely visit again! We have stayed at various small hot spring ryokan before, but this was the first place in Japan that made us think, “We absolutely want to come back!” Thanks to the attentive service from the staff and their thoughtful care throughout our stay, it became a truly heartwarming trip to Fukushima. Thank you very much.

This was our first stay on the Club Floor in two years, and thanks to your courteous and pleasant service from check-in onward, we had a very comfortable time. Maybe it’s Okinawa, maybe it’s The Terrace Hotels—either way, the juice in this lounge always tastes especially delicious. We also visited the newly introduced nightcap service, and it was wonderful to relax after dinner with coffee at Maroad. There were piano performances on both nights; each pianist arranged familiar tunes from Studio Ghibli and Disney that anyone can enjoy, and my wife and I had fun listening while guessing the song titles. A lounge staff member who assisted us two years ago even remembered us—just as my wife and I had hoped—and we truly enjoyed chatting together. This time we also used the gym and La Sima for the first time, and my wife was delighted, saying, “This was our most enjoyable stay at The Naha Terrace ever!” Thank you again to all of your staff. We look forward to seeing you again next year.

The Hotel and the Room were very clean, and the bathtub was larger than those in a typical Business Hotel, which was great. It is close to Osaka Castle, NHK Hall, and the station, and this price is excellent. The front desk staff were very pleasant and helpful, and I was very satisfied. I would definitely stay here again.

All the staff had a calm demeanor and provided pleasant service. The Facility and amenities are kept to the bare minimum, which may feel a bit lacking. Various wild birds came to the trees in the garden, delighting both the eyes and ears. Dake Onsen left a great impression—the Onsen town itself is compact, bright, open, and well maintained.

It was a calm, quiet hotel less than 10 minutes by shuttle bus from Gora Station. The meals were excellent. The free-flow drinks from 3:00 pm can also be enjoyed on the terrace. The view in the rain was lovely as well. The staff were very kind. The hot springs were great, but the step down into the indoor bath was deeper than expected, so I thought it would be helpful to have a notice posted somewhere. The milky-white hot spring water was wonderful, and the outdoor open-air bath was also very nice.

The Room is new, spacious, and clean. I had a very comfortable stay. The welcome drink included beer, which was delicious. I would like to stay here again next time.

I stayed here while traveling from Yamanashi to Shizuoka. When the number of guests changed, I called to ask for advice, and they kindly checked room availability and helped me rebook. For such a reasonable price, the room was clean, and the meals (free curry for dinner and breakfast) were more than satisfying. At breakfast, when my clothes got stained, the staff were extremely kind and helpful. I would definitely like to stay here again if I travel nearby. Thank you very much!

I seem to have booked an accessible room without realizing it, and was shown to a first-floor guest room. The in-room bathroom was an impressive stone design with great attention to detail, and the tub had plenty of continuously flowing water. The stone flooring was also slip-resistant, which felt reassuring. The clear Onsen water was silky-smooth—an excellent bath overall. That said, because the first-floor room is almost level with the embankment, bamboo grass has been planted for privacy and the room felt a bit dark, which was disappointing. With the special blinds set at just the right angle, views from outside are well blocked. Whether it was the mattress or something else, I slept very soundly. The large public baths are on the 3rd floor (women), 2nd floor (men), plus there are additional baths in the basement including a granite bath and an open-air rock bath. It’s fun to enjoy a variety of baths around the Accommodation from morning onward, and my companion was very satisfied as well and seemed refreshed. There are stairs to reach some of the basement baths and the open-air rock bath, so even younger guests should take care. Dinner featured local specialties such as salt-grilled ayu sweetfish, followed by more unpretentious yet delicious dishes—overall a very positive impression. Breakfast was also served seated in private or semi-private rooms, so we could enjoy it calmly. After flood damage, tasteful renovations have been done throughout; starting with the lobby, everything felt comfortable overall. However, since it isn’t newly built, there were slight slopes here and there in places like corridors. Being along the riverbank also means small insects can’t be completely avoided in summer. A Facility where you can feel the atmosphere of a classic Onsen inn. If I have another chance, I’d like to stay in a guest room on either the 2nd or 3rd floor.

This was my 4th or 5th stay, and once again I was truly impressed by the outstanding cuisine—worthy of the name “auberge” in every way. All of the staff were full of hospitality, and I enjoyed a very comfortable stay. I will definitely return.

I was able to spend a truly luxurious time surrounded by peaceful, lush greenery. The hospitality was outstanding. The Room and the meals—everything exceeded my expectations. I’d love to visit again in a different season.

Before the end of the rainy season, it rained and we couldn’t see Mt. Fuji during our stay. The location was excellent, and both the dinner and breakfast buffets were delicious—we ate lots of great food, and beer was all-you-can-drink. The Onsen felt a bit lukewarm, and there was only an indoor bath with no open-air bath, but overall we were satisfied. In the Japanese-style Room, it was cold with the air conditioner and summer bedding, so we used a blanket from the closet. The pillows were low. The air conditioner was positioned out of sight, and the Room became quite dry while sleeping, so next time we turned on the humidifier in the corner of the Room. Being confused in the middle of the night was a small downside. There were water and coffee services at reception, an extension cord for charging in the Room, and Japanese sweets provided as well—these thoughtful details were much appreciated.

There were complimentary drinks and ochazuke, and I was happy to receive amenity items for women as well. The in-room bath and toilet were spacious, and there was also a large public bath, so I could relax. Breakfast was very delicious!

This is my regular place to stay in Chino. The rooms are like a standard business hotel, but the soundproofing is excellent. This time my room was next to the elevator, yet I heard nothing at all. It seemed nearly fully booked, but I couldn’t hear any noise from other rooms either—perfect for a quiet stay. The owner’s dog, whom I often see in the morning and evening, is absolutely adorable, and I always look forward to saying hello on each visit. There is a large hot-spring bath on the first floor with wonderful water quality. It’s open from 6:00 a.m., so I hardly ever use the bathtub in my room. After soaking, there’s also a massage chair room where you can fully unwind from travel or work fatigue. In the morning, complimentary coffee is available next to the front desk, and it’s very good—I enjoy it every time. The entire building is non-smoking, but there is a designated smoking area by the entrance, so it isn’t inconvenient. It feels like the best of both worlds: an onsen ryokan and a business hotel combined. Every time I stay here, I tell myself that next time I’ll try the breakfast buffet.

It might be the perfect base for getting around. It’s not the best value for money, but even taking that into account, I think it deserves a high rating. Breakfast only offered Matsuyama-style sea bream rice; it would have been nice to have more options.

We stay here every year in early summer. It’s quiet, and we can relax at our own pace while enjoying the in-room bath whenever we like. The property is close to the museum, and after checking out we always stop by the museum and then head home by walking down through Gora Park. As seniors, we’ve been eating less over time, but the portion sizes here are always just right, and above all, each dish is carefully prepared and truly delicious. The staff are always smiling, with very polite service and language, so we can enjoy our stay comfortably and with peace of mind. It’s probably busy during the autumn foliage season and around New Year’s holidays, but we’re thinking of trying it next time.
