My spouse and I travel often, and Gyokusenkaku was an outstanding place to stay. The hospitality was excellent, the meals were great, and the hot pot broth was especially delicious. The only disappointment was that the bath water on the day we arrived was a little lukewarm. However, the morning bath was at a perfect temperature and warmed us up nicely. If I know anyone traveling to Yamaguchi Prefecture, I will definitely recommend this place. Thank you very much.

We stayed here as a family to celebrate my mother’s 77th birthday and an early birthday party for my younger sister. They prepared a lovely birthday card and a whole cake topped with plenty of fruit, which made both my mother and sister very happy! The house was extremely clean, and every detail was thoughtfully arranged to make the stay comfortable. The private chef was also very friendly and carefully accommodated our requests in advance. We could truly feel the owners’ commitment to putting guests’ comfort first. Thank you so much.

I visited Shibu Onsen during the quieter period just after the Obon holidays. It was a very clean Onsen Ryokan, with the Room, amenities, and baths all well maintained. The level of service was just right, and I had a comfortable stay. As for the meals, I thought the adult dishes were good, but I wish there had been more creativity in the children’s meals. They consisted of fried foods such as sausages, frozen chicken, and French fries, and my child hardly ate any of it.

We visited as a couple to see Amanohashidate. The location was right in front of it—perfect. Check-in was at 2:00 PM. We arrived early, but they kindly guided us to the parking lot, which was very helpful. Even after check-out, we were allowed to use the parking lot until 11:00 AM, so we could enjoy sightseeing. The Accommodation looked a bit old from the outside, but inside it was clean and very well kept. The meals seemed to focus on locally sourced ingredients and were delicious. We finished everything at both dinner and breakfast. There were both an indoor bath and an open-air bath. They weren’t large, but I could relax on my own. With so many tourists around, I think being able to sightsee efficiently was thanks to this Accommodation. It turned into a wonderful trip.

We stayed in a room with an open-air bath. The river view from the terrace was wonderful, and the room was spacious and relaxing. We were satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. We especially loved the handmade soba noodles—so much that we wanted seconds. My husband really liked the quality of the hot spring water and says he wants to come back. We would love to visit again.

This was our second stay at Umekiya. We stayed once before and it was so great that we chose it again. The owner talked with us about why we picked this place again, as well as products made on Awaji Island and shops run by local creators, and we were able to actually stop by. They also share recommended spots around Awaji Island. On our second visit, we used a nearby super sento. It was extremely crowded with locals, so while Umekiya doesn’t have a bathtub, if you want to take your time in the bath, it’s better to use Umekiya. The Wi‑Fi in the Room (which didn’t work well last time) had been improved, but the best part is spending time enjoying the atmosphere in the shared space on the first floor while having free drinks. There are two shared toilets, but my family wished they were separated for men and women. It’s also hard to tell whether someone is inside; even though one of them was vacant, I was knocked on and asked to hurry up. It would be helpful if it were easier to see whether each toilet is occupied or not. If we come back to Awaji Island again, this is a place we’d like to stay at.

I stayed here on a solo trip. When I arrived at the Accommodation, Lake Matsubara spread out right in front of me, and I spent time relaxing while enjoying the view from the window. The Room was very clean, spacious, and quiet, so I was able to unwind comfortably. The bath was spotless as well, which was great. The food was delicious, and I could really feel the care put into each dish. Even the plates were stylish and beautiful to look at. The tomato juice in the refrigerator was incredibly tasty. I was deeply impressed by how strongly the staff want guests to get to know this town—something I felt in many ways through their service and cuisine. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

This was my second stay. I chose the plan for guests aged 50 and over, which included spiny lobster, abalone, and golden eye snapper. The meals were so delicious that I decided to return. Both the fish-focused dinner and the breakfast featuring spiny lobster miso soup and grilled horse mackerel were satisfying and filling. However, there were two things I found a bit disappointing this time. First, there was noise after 11:30 PM. It seemed to come from upstairs, possibly due to cleaning in the bath area. Other than that, it was very quiet, so the noise at night surprised me. Second, while they were preparing my futon bed, my coffee cup was taken away even though I had been using it. When I wanted to drink coffee later on but couldn’t find the cup anymore, it left me feeling disappointed. The staff serving breakfast were very pleasant and made for a nice departure experience overall. Since Awa-Kominato is one of my favorite places, I'll probably visit again in the future. Even if accommodations are not large-scale establishments, I'd like to choose based on their unique qualities each time!

A quiet setting, a clean Room with a great view, and above all, delicious meals made for a truly wonderful stay. I had the chance to speak with the owner at breakfast and could really feel the care and dedication they put into this place. They were such a lovely person, and I was truly glad I came. Thank you for a wonderful time!

I realized I had an extra day off during my trip and made a same-day reservation. Even though it was last-minute, you kindly accommodated me. I had long wanted to stay here after seeing the Auberge Association website, and I’m truly glad I did. I’ve visited many different types of auberges, but the food here was beyond what can be described as simply “delicious”—I was extremely satisfied. The homemade ham and sausages were so good they practically melted in my mouth. The room was calm and comfortable, and I was able to rest well. Next time, I’d like to try the open-air bath as well. I was completely satisfied—thank you very much.

We stayed here during an autumn foliage touring trip and loved it from the moment we arrived—the location and atmosphere of the pension were wonderful. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent, and the private bath was great as well. The larger hair dryer made it quick to dry our hair, so we could return to our room without getting chilled. Best of all, the staff’s service was just right—friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. Everything we ate was delicious, and we enjoyed a very filling meal—simply the best! We were really looking forward to the baths; it was raining on the first day so we couldn’t use the open-air bath, but the rain stopped the next morning and we were able to go in. The view was amazing! If I had to say one thing, I would have preferred the bath temperature a little lower—it felt quite hot. Still, we’d love to stay again. Thank you very much.

This is a wonderful Accommodation. We truly felt the kindness in your hospitality. The meals were lavish and absolutely delicious. The quality, portion size, and flavor were so exceptional that we almost felt guilty enjoying them at this price. Breakfast was also very satisfying, and the fluffy rolled omelet was truly impressive. When we mentioned that we would be staying to celebrate my mother’s 88th birthday, you served sekihan (red bean rice), which deeply moved her. This time, since the bath was under renovation, we went to a nearby Facility to bathe; once the bath is completed, I’m sure this will become an even more outstanding Accommodation. If we have the chance, we would definitely love to stay again. To everyone at Yohkosou, I know you are very busy—please take good care of yourselves. Thank you very much for all your help and hospitality.

We stayed in a top-floor room. This hotel truly takes care of everything. Even though it was raining, we enjoyed the open-air bath with a sky-high view, the large public bath, and the in-room hot spring. The variety at the dinner buffet was unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The made-to-order Mont Blanc prepared in the morning was delicious too. The staff were very courteous. The amenities were also exceptionally well stocked, and I debated buying the hot-spring-made cosmetics at the gift shop but decided against it—however, they were so good that I ended up ordering them online. It’s a hotel where one night just isn’t enough. I’d love to book again for my birthday next year! We’ll be back.

I have stayed here many times, and it offers excellent access to Tokyo Station, making it convenient to travel anywhere by train. You will also have no trouble dining or shopping in the underground mall or around the Marunouchi area. Although the Rooms are right by the station, they are very quiet and comfortable. When my child was younger, we especially loved the Room with a view of the trains. This time, the only thing that concerned me was that the closet door handle (wooden part) had deteriorated and become splintered.

I stayed solo for my birthday. The hotel was filled with a lovely fragrance and live music, and the autumn-themed entrance flowers were beautiful. I had booked a “check-in from 5:00 PM, room type assigned on arrival” plan, but since my room was ready, they kindly allowed me to check in at the regular time. The room was charming yet elegant, with a relaxing atmosphere and a canal view from the window. The coffee machine and amenities were well stocked, and I really appreciated the complimentary Huis Ten Bosch hot spring voucher and next-day passport. For the Huis Ten Bosch Revue, I received an A-seat invitation ticket from the hotel and upgraded to an SS seat by paying the difference. They even sang a birthday song for me—it made my birthday truly special. In the evening I enjoyed a drink alone at the bar; it was quiet and very relaxing. Breakfast the next morning at De Admiral started with morning champagne, and each beautifully presented dish was served one by one—everything impressed me. Even though it’s inside the park, the hospitality felt like staying at a top luxury city hotel—an experience so good it could become addictive. Thank you very much.

We searched for an all-inclusive, ocean-view Hotel with breakfast and dinner buffets and a pool, and stayed here as a family during our summer vacation. The wide variety of all-inclusive options, the breakfast and dinner buffets with live cooking stations, the pool, and the many types of Onsen were all wonderful. We also enjoyed the free soap-making activity with our child. Everyone at the Hotel was truly kind. They always greeted us with smiles and attentive service, never showing any sign of being busy or affected by the heat. We were deeply impressed by their hospitality and were able to relax at a very leisurely pace. Even during the Shuttle Service on our departure day, they saw us off at the bus despite how busy mornings are—we were touched until the very end. We would definitely like to stay again. It was an amazing summer memory for both children and adults—everything was taken care of.

As this was my first stay, I checked the reviews in advance. Just as others had written, I truly felt the warm hospitality of all the staff, and I had a very comfortable stay. I booked the anniversary plan to celebrate my partner’s retirement, and I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful attention to detail. Thank you very much. The room was bright with a white color scheme, and the moment I walked in, I couldn’t help saying “Wonderful.” The Mirable showerhead left my skin and hair moisturized—it was amazing. The ReFa hair dryer was also great. I would love to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you next time.

We stayed for one night during the Obon holiday period. The front desk staff warmly welcomed us. The Room felt very new and was impeccably clean, so we had a very comfortable stay. It was great to have both yukata and pajamas available. They also quickly exchanged the yukata size for us, which was very helpful. We headed to the bath right away. The large public bath was very clean, and we loved that the shower kept running without having to press the button repeatedly! Bathing while looking at the castle was wonderful. The hair dryers in the changing area were ReFa. The muscat vinegar drink in the post-bath lounge was so delicious that even our children—who usually find fruit vinegar drinks too sour—went back for seconds. Since our Room included lounge access, we used the massage chair there, enjoyed some drinks, and felt refreshed. Also, the bed in our Room was incredibly comfortable—I may have slept better than I ever have while traveling. I think it’s a great fit for those who like pillows that are fluffy, soft, and low-profile. The next morning we had breakfast at Mimasaka Kitchen. We already knew it had a good reputation, but it exceeded our expectations—the lightly seasoned side dishes and wide variety of desserts that weren’t overly sweet were more than satisfying. Even better were the onigiri made by one of the staff members—perfectly light and fluffy—and our whole family couldn’t stop praising them. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this Accommodation. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us during our stay.

We were very satisfied with both the Hotel’s atmosphere and the food. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.
