The towel amenities were very well stocked, and having a washer and dryer was extremely convenient for a long stay. The view was also excellent. However, when I looked closely, there were countless small brown ants in lines around the baseboards near the bedroom and entrance, as well as on the bathroom door frame. I used insect spray to get rid of them, but one bedroom still felt unpleasant and I couldn’t use it. Since this is a tropical area, I understand it can happen, but if pest control could be taken care of, it would be perfect. Overall, aside from that issue, I’d like to stay here again!

Stayed here while doing the Lake Biwa cycling loop by road bike. Two nights in a mini cottage with breakfast included for 4,800 yen. Limited-time deal? I couldn’t believe it was during summer vacation—so cheap I was worried, but everything was well taken care of down to the details and it was excellent. The bath (5 tubs), showers (4), and toilets (4 or more) are shared, as is the fridge/freezer. Breakfast is available from 6:00 a.m., with rice refills (self-serve) and a plate of nine side dishes plus natto and miso soup. You can also help yourself to furikake, tea, coffee, and more. The Room has heating/air conditioning, a TV, and free Wi‑Fi. If I had to nitpick, the bed is on the small side and there’s no mattress pad. For the price, it was outstanding.

With tasteful interior design and attentive hospitality, it felt special yet as relaxing as being at home, and we had a truly comfortable stay. They even floated large citrus fruits in the bath, and the wonderful fragrance was so soothing. Our child loved it too. All essential amenities were provided. Dinner was clearly prepared with great care, dish by dish, and the flavors were exactly to our liking! The beer was perfectly ice-cold, and we still find ourselves saying, “I want that beer again.” The tableware was beautiful—just looking at it was delightful and made our conversation even more enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious across the board, but the Saikyo-yaki in particular was so tender that we couldn’t stop eating rice. My husband especially liked the atsuage tofu and said, “I’ve never had atsuage this good before.” After breakfast, we relaxed together over coffee served in stylish cups and enjoyed a slow pace for the first time in a while. We visited with my parents-in-law, and they were very happy as well. You can truly feel their spirit of hospitality—it’s easy to see why so many guests return. If we have another chance to visit Shizuoka, we would love to stay again. Finding such a wonderful Accommodation made this trip unforgettable. Thank you very much.

This was my first visit. From the courteous phone call before our stay, to the warm welcome on arrival, the quiet and spotless Room where we could truly relax, the many dishes filled with nothing but delicious flavors, and the Onsen at just the right temperature that made us want to soak forever… It was truly a blissful time. Even if you’d like to go but aren’t sure about chicken tataki, they will change it in advance by phone to other Oita specialties such as toriten (chicken tempura). It’s a wonderful Accommodation where you can fully feel the warmth of the owner and staff while they maintain a comfortable sense of distance, so I highly recommend staying here if you want to unwind. Since we live far away it’s not easy to visit often, but whenever we travel to Kyushu we will definitely stop by again. Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality.

Now that our kids have grown up and no longer spend their summer vacation tied up with sports clubs and team activities, three families were able to get together for the first time in eight years. Considering the extreme heat and our age, we gave up on tent camping and chose an easy, comfortable stay in a lodge. Since it looked like it might rain, the Accommodation staff secured a BBQ area for us in advance, and we really appreciated how they also accommodated a sudden increase in our group size. We were also grateful that we could dispose of the BBQ trash. The bath water is brownish with an iron scent. It warms you up wonderfully. Maybe thanks to the Onsen, my makeup went on better the next morning. It would have been even better if bathing hours were available until 11:00 p.m. The three horses were friendly and adorable. When we petted them around the neck, they leaned into us, which made them even more lovable. The staff were very kind, and we had a great trip.

We stayed for one night from March 19. It was an Accommodation that truly lived up to its high-rated Reviews. The Room was a bit compact, but it had a spacious wood-deck balcony, was thoroughly cleaned, and felt very fresh and relaxing. They also provided a waterproof sheet for our dog, so the bedding was OK. We followed proper etiquette and used a diaper, so we were able to sleep together comfortably. Dinner was BBQ on the large wood deck (honestly like yakiniku from an upscale restaurant). We really enjoyed the wagyu that the owner personally cuts—absolutely delicious. There were also lean wagyu and chicken tenderloin for dogs, and our dog happily ate it all. Vegetables, soup, rice balls, etc. were included as a set, and there are plenty of optional menu items as well. The Onsen can be reserved privately in 1-hour time slots (Reservation required), so you can soak slowly and unwind. From 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM it becomes open access—if it’s available you can use it (all private Onsen use is free). They even have a bathtub for dogs, so your dog can enjoy the Onsen too!! There is of course a dog run, and since this Accommodation hosts only three groups total, we could enjoy it at our own pace. Breakfast was a handmade burger—also outstanding. Options like extra patty or cheese are available! It seems you can also switch to a hot sandwich. Yogurt, onion soup, salad, and your choice of drink were included as well—we were very satisfied. This Accommodation hosts only three groups per day (Sunny), so we could relax fully and enjoy the Onsen—and since our dog isn’t great with other dogs sometimes, it was perfect that everything could be done mostly within our Room area. It was very reasonably priced: delicious meals, wonderful Onsen time, and the best part—being able to stay with our dog all the time. To the owner couple, their adorable son, and Sunny the resident dog—thank you for such a fun and fulfilling trip!! We’ve already made our next Reservation too; I’ll work hard until then while looking forward to coming back.

This Onsen Accommodation is tucked away in the mountains, a short distance from the center of Shima Onsen. Although I hadn’t made a Reservation, they kindly provided Shuttle Service, which was a big help since walking in the extreme heat would have been tough. There are three private-use baths on the first floor. You can use them anytime if available, and you can also check availability online, which is very convenient. The refrigerator had chilled water inside—a nice touch. Drinks can be purchased from the refrigerator on the first floor. There is also one massage chair. The bath amenities were exceptionally well stocked—possibly the best I’ve ever seen—not only shampoo and conditioner, but also shaving foam and facial cleanser, with a wide variety of options. With three baths for a relatively small number of rooms, it felt like they were available whenever I wanted. Because it’s free-flowing natural hot spring water (kakenagashi), I could even bathe late at night. Being able to soak without worrying about others was wonderful. Compared to the Ryokan’s exterior, the dining area was chic, clean, and newly built. The food was delicious and I was very satisfied. I traveled by train and bus, so limited service frequency is a drawback—but aside from that, this is an outstanding Accommodation.

We stayed here as a family for our climb of the Three Mountains of Dewa. The vegetarian meals served in the morning and evening were carefully prepared, with each dish being incredibly delicious. Our entire family kept saying how amazing everything tasted! We were also deeply grateful to participate in the morning prayer service. Afterward, we had the opportunity to hear about the history of this accommodation from a Yamabushi monk, which was truly enlightening. On the first day, we climbed Mount Haguro and stayed at Daishinbo Accommodation. On the second day, we visited Mount Gassan and Mount Yudono while reflecting on what we learned from the Yamabushi monk. It was an extraordinary experience filled with luxury and meaning. We are so glad we came here—highly recommended!

We were able to relax and unwind at a leisurely pace. Dinner was just as rumored and absolutely delicious. Thank you very much.

Both dinner and breakfast included warm dishes, and everything was very delicious. The portions were generous. We could use the bath as a private reservation, which made us feel at ease. The Room was clean and comfortable with no issues. There are no amenities provided, so bringing your own towels, bath towels, and toothbrush is essential. I would like to stay again.

This was a wonderful Accommodation, and the warm hospitality of the owner couple was truly unforgettable. The room was very spacious and spotless, and I really appreciated having a refrigerator in the room. The bath amenities were from a brand I’d been wanting to try, which made me very happy. Every meal was high quality—especially the dinner main course and the breakfast bread, both of which were absolutely delicious. Including the Shuttle Service from the station, they kindly listened to our requests and responded flexibly to our transportation needs throughout our stay, for which we are truly grateful. This is a fantastic pension where you can feel the owners’ warmth and genuine hospitality in every detail. I would definitely love to stay again!

Dogs can take a relaxing stroll in the spacious garden. It was reassuring to be able to keep an eye on them, and we also enjoyed the setup where they could feel like they were having a bath. On top of that, dogs stay for free—truly appreciated. The bedding was very comfortable, and the kitchen with a view of the TV was spotless; everything was so clean that we’d love to come again. I almost don’t want it to become too popular after posting this, but it’s an Accommodation I highly recommend. We had no trouble shopping nearby either.

All the staff were kind and pleasant. Every dish was delicious, and we were very satisfied. The international staff were all cheerful and greeted us with warm smiles, making our stay very comfortable. Thank you very much.

I stayed here with my 3-year-old son, my husband, and my parents! The Room was thoroughly cleaned down to every detail, and we had a very comfortable stay. The food was brought out freshly made, and the variety, taste, and presentation were all perfect—we were truly impressed!! Everyone at the Accommodation was very kind, and I was happy to chat with you so much! Also, I’m truly sorry for the trouble we caused right at the very end... We’ll definitely be back again next year!!!

The meals were excellent. The sea bream sashimi, carpaccio, simmered dishes, tempura, and sea bream rice were all incredibly delicious. I never knew sea bream could taste this good. It was also delightful to be served piping hot dishes. Highly recommended!

Although it was a nearby trip, it was my first time traveling with my parents since becoming an adult. Unfortunately, a typhoon the day before forced us to change various plans, but we truly enjoyed the many colorful dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. My elderly parents, who usually eat small portions, kept saying they couldn’t possibly eat that much, yet they finished almost everything. The Room was compact but clean and comfortable. The staff were also very pleasant, and we had a relaxing short getaway. After such a generous dinner, we were told there would even be inari sushi as a late-night snack. We couldn’t resist and asked for some—and it was delicious. Even while saying we were already full, we ended up eating it all (laugh). One thing: until around 3 a.m., I noticed a low sound—possibly from the boiler?—that echoed and made it hard to sleep for a bit. Since it was only one night, it wasn’t too much of an issue.

Once again, we were extremely satisfied with the generous portions and high-quality meals. Wi-Fi was also available from the Room, allowing us to relax and enjoy our time online throughout our stay.

I’ve stayed here so many times I’ve lost count. The best part is how spotless everything is. The owner and staff are also the best—always so pleasant and welcoming. It’s within walking distance of the remote island terminal, bus terminal, shopping, and restaurants, and there’s a bus stop nearby—everything is convenient. Even as an 83-year-old traveling alone, I feel no anxiety at all. They welcome me with a real “welcome home” feeling. A very friendly guesthouse.

We stayed here last March. This time, we visited during summer vacation so our dogs (Welsh Corgis, ages 5 and 3) could try the pool, and they had a great time playing. As with our previous stay, we were very satisfied with the meals. It takes about six hours to get here from Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture, but we would love to stay again.

I think this Accommodation offers excellent value. I expected the Facilities to be old, but that wasn’t the case—they were very well maintained and clean. If I visit Nara City again, I will stay here again.
