No wonder it was featured on “Adomachi Heaven.” It has the feel of an auberge in a hot spring town. The food was excellent—my picky wife was satisfied too (laughs). If you’re expecting a luxury ryokan, the atmosphere may be a little different. The couple runs the place with great care. They gave us a handwritten map to help us visit nearby sights efficiently, which was incredibly helpful. We’ve kept it as a souvenir.

This Accommodation features only 10 detached villas, surrounded by rice fields and the deep green of the mountains. You’ll be welcomed by Mi-chan, our resident cat, along with the friendly Kamo team. In the open-air bath attached to your Room, you might even be greeted by a tiny Japanese tree frog—small enough to fit on your fingertip. The meals are delicious and perfectly portioned. All staff were warm and welcoming, making our stay truly comfortable. We’ll definitely be back!

Unfortunately, the desired Room was not available, but the view of Setoda, characteristic of the island, was wonderful. Dinner was plentiful, and I ended up eating too much. Thank you for your warm and homely hospitality and for your many kindnesses.

Although it was hot outside in summer, the Hotel Room felt fresh and comfortable. With a semi-open-air Onsen bath, we relaxed and toasted as a couple while looking out at the deep-blue sea with a cold canned beer in hand—it made us feel truly happy. We enjoyed the Onsen many times until around 10:30 a.m. the next morning. Since we are both over 60, we were able to stay at a discounted rate. For dinner, we went to the neighboring seafood market “Mushigamaya,” which is also highly recommended. The Hotel breakfast can be delivered to your Room; it was delicious and my wife was very pleased. We would like to stay again.

In a small Japanese-style room, I enjoyed the sweetness of local vegetables while imagining that merchants from long ago might have stayed here alone as well. Perhaps because of the terrain there is no railway, which may help create the town’s calm atmosphere. On the way back, when I was kindly given a ride on the bus toward Chichibu, I was deeply impressed by driving that was more considerate than anything I have ever experienced. Even on mountain roads, the driver’s smooth control never caused sudden tilts in any direction, and he consistently kept safely to the left edge of the road to allow oncoming traffic to pass. I wasn’t able to thank the driver when getting off, so please allow me to express my gratitude here.

This Accommodation is highly recommended. It’s close to the station and just a short walk to the sea. The meals are very generous in portion size, and we were extremely satisfied! Above all, just like our first stay… the staff were wonderfully warm and welcoming on our second visit as well! This Accommodation is also recommended for a solo getaway. We’ll be back again soon!

This is a truly wonderful Accommodation. It is located in a valley beyond a ridge from Kurokawa Onsen, reached by a narrow road that feels like a forest track. Crossing the ridge makes you feel as if you are entering a different world from Kurokawa. It is quiet— the small lobby, the corridors, the dining area, and even the baths. The Room is beautifully set, with furnishings and artwork on the walls that enhance the atmosphere. For meals, there are separate head chefs for Japanese and Western cuisine. Using local ingredients, everything was carefully seasoned and served in just the right portions. There is a café lounge where you can step out onto an outdoor terrace and enjoy coffee while taking in dew-covered greenery in the morning. With calm, attentive service as well, we enjoyed an atmosphere quite different from Kurokawa Onsen.

It was a quiet, relaxing, and stylish Accommodation. From the Setagaya-Daita ticket gate, the lush green path felt like arriving at a sightseeing spot you wouldn’t expect to find in the city center—it was wonderful. The late-night ochazuke and breakfast were both delicious, the Room was spotless, and I slept soundly—an amazing staycation. I worried the bath might be crowded if there were day-use guests, but it wasn’t at all; both at night and in the morning I had it all to myself, which was great. It was very clean as well. There is no cleansing oil or face wash in the bath area, so be sure to bring your own from your Room. I couldn’t make it to the tea lounge or bar because I was already full, but everything looked delicious. My child happened to be quiet so it was fine, but since this is a calm Accommodation, energetic kids might stand out. I didn’t see many families with children. Also, there are shoji screens in the Room, so if you have a child who might tear them you may feel on edge during your stay. At meals they provided a child’s chair and cutlery for us, which was extremely helpful. Going far for an Onsen can be tough, but here you can relax and enjoy an Onsen and great food with satisfaction comparable to an Onsen resort—right in central Tokyo—so I highly recommend it!

This was my second stay this year, and I visited with my mother. My mother is nearing her 88th birthday, but she still has a great appetite and finished everything, even having seconds from the rice tub. I visited long ago with my mother and grandmother as well, so I feel truly happy to have an Accommodation we can return to across three generations—my grandmother, my mother, and me. Unfortunately it rained this time, but thanks to that the signature stones and garden trees were gently wet, letting us enjoy a different kind of beautiful scenery than usual. Thank you again for your warm hospitality. I look forward to visiting again.

The lobster was incredibly delicious—I was genuinely surprised. I treated myself a bit by staying here, and many guests seemed to be regulars; the overall atmosphere was wonderful. I also appreciated being able to request Shuttle Service from/to Hakuba Station. This may have been just me missing it, but I would have appreciated it even more if makeup remover had been available in the Room or in the private bath.

Thank you very much, Fuchinobo. This trip was truly enjoyable. We were delighted to have the opportunity to stay at a temple Accommodation at Zenkoji and enjoy a variety of experiences. We also thoroughly enjoyed the delicious shojin-ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine). This was all thanks to everyone at Fuchinobo, and we are sincerely grateful.

Thank you very much for taking such great care of us during our three-night stay. It was almost our first time visiting Shodoshima, so we truly appreciated the owner suggesting a sightseeing list in advance—it was wonderful. We were also very grateful that you kindly agreed to provide a Shuttle Service, which helped us a lot. For dinner on three evenings, you arranged Japanese cuisine, Italian food, and sushi, and we enjoyed every single meal!! We also had such a great time chatting with the chefs. Our favorite part each morning was the eggs laid by the chickens. On the third day, when we found an egg and picked it up, it was still warm and made us feel so happy. The chickens were very friendly and adorable; even after returning from sightseeing each day, we would say “We’re home!” and go check on them. We also loved the view of Mt. Goishiyama from the second floor. Going up and down the stairs was another fun part for us since we usually live in a barrier-free apartment building. Lastly, we were deeply moved by the owner’s personality and heartfelt hospitality. We truly feel there is a kind of hospitality that can only be experienced at this type of private rental Accommodation. My husband and I sincerely look forward to visiting again next time!!

This is my favorite pension and one I often stay at when visiting Nasu. The best part is the warm, homey atmosphere. We are always welcomed kindly, so our family can stay with peace of mind. The meals are delicious every time and you can really tell they are carefully prepared. It’s also a great bonus that there is an Onsen you can reserve for private use. There is a playroom where children can have fun, and you can feel the thoughtful attention for families with kids. Not only can adults relax, but children can enjoy themselves too, which makes it perfect for a family trip. No matter when we stay, the building and Rooms are always thoroughly cleaned, so we can spend our time very comfortably. It’s an Accommodation with warmth and comfort that’s different from a luxury Hotel. I think it’s easy to see why you’ll want to come back again and again. I’d love to stay here again the next time we visit Nasu.

The seaside Room offers a stunning ocean view, with new tatami mats and a very comfortable stay. Dinner was outstanding in both quality and quantity, featuring abalone sashimi, abalone steak, abalone rice cooked in a pot, plus seasonal sashimi—an excellent abalone-focused meal. Breakfast also had a wide variety of side dishes, and the sweet shrimp soup was refined and delicious. We were very satisfied—it exceeded the price. Thank you!

The moment I stepped into the fourth-floor Room, I was moved by the view spread out before me: the sea, lush greenery, and two large bridges—like a beautiful painting. The meals were outstanding too! Super-fresh sashimi, squid sashimi, squid tempura, grilled squid with salt, squid shumai, and more—everything was truly delicious. The cleaning was thorough, and both the Room and the other restrooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff were kind and cheerful as well—it was a truly wonderful Hotel.

The French dinner was very stylish, and the taste was a perfect 10. Breakfast was completely different—Japanese cuisine. The overnight-dried blackthroat seaperch in particular was unbelievably delicious and truly moving. For our family, who all love alcohol, the all-inclusive plan was fantastic. We were happy to be able to enjoy drinks whenever we wanted. This Accommodation doesn’t have an Onsen, but you can receive free tickets for a nearby Onsen. However, since it was summer, going outside to the Onsen left us drenched in sweat. This time, the bath in our Room might have been enough. The Facility was very clean, and the staff were wonderful—an Accommodation we definitely want to visit again!

It was a wonderful Accommodation. We travel around Japan every year and usually stay at Accommodations in a similar price range. When we actually arrive, the place is sometimes a little smaller than the photos, and it’s rare for it to exceed expectations—but this one did. The meals were not unnecessarily large and were absolutely delicious. My husband is very picky (he doesn’t really like meat or fish), so he usually gives me what he can’t eat, but this was the first time he finished everything himself. He really loved it and kept saying it was the best we’ve ever had. The fried dishes—maybe fries?—were unbelievably crispy; I’ve never had anything like that before. We were also soothed by the owner, his wife, and all the staff, as well as the Room, bath, decor, and scenery. We would love to come again. Thank you very much for taking such great care of us.

This Accommodation is very popular and hard to book, but I was lucky to get a Reservation and this is my second stay. The building is old, so you can hear noise from outside the Room, but once you get used to it, it’s not an issue. The meals are generous and delicious—I almost worry it’s okay to stay at such a low price. I still haven’t seen all the nearby sights, so I’d love to come again.

Whenever I visit Mie Prefecture, I always choose Todaya for my Accommodation. The Room is clean, and the Onsen is wonderfully relaxing. The meals are so plentiful and high-quality that I can’t eat another bite! Above all, the staff’s attentiveness and hospitality are perfect. I’ll be staying again next year. I’m already looking forward to it.

The bus stop was right nearby, which made it very convenient for getting to Okadama Airport. With Daimaru Department Store right in front, we had no trouble even without meals included. We stayed as a couple and initially received only one key card, but when we asked the staff, they made an extra one for us. We really appreciated it. The facilities were sufficient for our needs.
