Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 103Page Number

Thank you for taking care of us for 3 days and 2 nights. I love traveling and stay at many Hotels, but I have never experienced a Hotel where the staff’s service and greetings were this outstanding. It’s rare to find such a strong spirit of hospitality in a Business Hotel. The large public bath was also wonderful, and cooling off while enjoying the view from the rooftop overlooking Monbetsu Port after a soak was such a happy moment! Breakfast offered everything from scallop sashimi to jingisukan, and everything was delicious—I ate too much on both days. The milk and yogurt from Okoppe were also incredibly tasty. I’ve only just checked out, but I’m already thinking about when to make my next Reservation. Thank you again—we’ll definitely stay here again!

The front desk staff and the restaurant staff at breakfast were all friendly and welcoming, and we had a very pleasant stay. The Room was compact but spotless, and my family was delighted that the artificial Onsen left their skin feeling smooth. We also appreciated the thoughtful services such as coffee, ice pops after bathing, and body wipes to help with the heat. We would love to stay again if we have the opportunity.

Close to Haneda Airport with early-morning Shuttle Service. In addition, the Hotel was clean and the No Meals Included rate was very satisfying. It was extremely convenient and helpful when catching an early flight. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

I stayed here last year and had a great experience, so this was my second visit—and I was very satisfied! First of all, all the front desk staff were very kind. The pillow bar was also much appreciated. This time I noticed that the large public bath has three types of showerheads to choose from, which was fun. The bed mattress was very comfortable as well, but the sound from the air conditioning or possibly the bathroom ventilation fan? was a bit loud and bothered me during the night. Shower caps were only available in the large public bath, but I wanted to use one for showering or washing my face in my Room too, so I wish they were available at the amenities bar. However, when I asked at check-in this time, a kind front desk staff member brought me one. Breakfast is always plentiful as well. I enjoyed various kinds of tempura and takikomi gohan even in the morning. It’s right in front of Kyoto Station, but since it’s a small Hotel, there aren’t any noisy tour groups, which is a relief. The next day I stayed at a certain Resort Hotel in Osaka (priced at 2.5 times this one), but in terms of amenities and provided shampoo and other toiletries, this Hotel was actually better. If you’re not looking for on-site restaurants, a spa, or a gym and just want Accommodation with good value for money, I think this place is excellent.

My wife is currently undergoing medical treatment, so I contacted the property in advance with two or three requests. They kindly accommodated them, and we had a wonderful stay. The staff were also very courteous.

I booked a loft room with three friends. The room felt a bit small for four people to spread out luggage, but we used the large public bath, and the lounge had manga, a TV, and comfortable chairs to relax in, so our stay was very pleasant. The staff were kind, and we also enjoyed the free soft drinks and sparkling water on the relaxation floor near reception—an appreciated service.

This was my first stay at this Hotel in exactly 30 years. While the interior shows some age, the staff were efficient and pleasant. The Hotel is located on a hill, and we enjoyed the peaceful surrounding scenery from the Room and the open-air bath. The meals were not extravagant, but dinner was served as a kaiseki course and was delicious. The indoor bath was quite hot, so it was hard to relax, but the open-air bath was at a comfortable temperature, and there was also a tub fed by a cooler natural hot spring source where we could soak leisurely. Considering the Accommodation Fee, I felt this Accommodation offered excellent value for money.

The meals were delicious, and both the Room and the Onsen were excellent. Dinner featured plenty of seafood, including sashimi, which we really enjoyed. The in-room Onsen was great, and the private bath—apparently using what used to be the main public bath—was spacious, with a wonderful open-air bath surrounded by nature; I thought it was a fantastic idea. If I had to ask for improvements, I think it would be even better if there were more explanations about the dishes and if phone inquiries were handled more clearly.

We have stayed with our dog at many luxury hotels in Japan and abroad, and this was honestly one of the very best—easily competing for No.1 or No.2. If I were to compare it overseas, it’s hard to say which is better: this or the Manor at Capella Singapore. It was a truly outstanding detached villa suite that stands shoulder to shoulder with the world’s top luxury hotels. We stayed for two nights from 9/20 with three family members and our dog. Because a typhoon was approaching, we arrived early, but the staff handled everything politely and smoothly and kindly escorted us to our room about two hours earlier than usual. Before our stay, I read every review on Ikkyu, and it felt like many of the past concerns had been addressed. I was also impressed by how sincerely you seem to take guest feedback. Since this two-night stay cost around JPY 1,000,000, I was slightly worried about whether it would truly feel worth the price—but the sense of exclusivity in the detached villa (No.100) exceeded all expectations. A dedicated parking space, an approximately 300 m² private dog run, a two-story/two-bedroom layout, in-room dining available only for this villa, complimentary champagne and drinks in the refrigerator, private dining rooms when using the restaurant—every detail felt thoughtfully elevated in a way that made perfect sense. The meals were especially exceptional—clearly a step above any hotel we’ve stayed at before. The matsutake course and clay-pot rice were superb, and on our second night you prepared an entirely different menu from the first. To truly experience RETONA at its best (ideally in this villa suite), I strongly recommend staying at least two nights. (I’m sure other rooms are wonderful as well.) It became an unforgettable three days worthy of my daughter’s 12th birthday and our dog’s 6th birthday. We are deeply grateful to all staff members for your warm hospitality—including your attentive email communication even before arrival. If I may mention just one small point: there was a spider web on the ceiling above the sink area. We fully understand that insects are common given the natural surroundings—and it was minor enough for us to remove ourselves—but checking higher areas as well would make everything even more perfect. Next time we will definitely return as a family to stay in the same room again—perhaps in spring or summer—to enjoy seasonal dishes in another time of year. This has become one of my favorite luxury hotels; thank you very much for everything.

This was my first time staying here. At first, I wasn’t sure about a standalone house in the mountains, but once I arrived, it far exceeded my expectations. The Room was more spacious than I imagined, the Onsen was free-flowing with a gentle quality to the water, and above all, the meals were not only delicious but also very generous. This Accommodation offers something truly special that you won’t find elsewhere. As someone who loves traveling, it’s an Accommodation I genuinely want to recommend to others from the bottom of my heart.

The Room was spacious and clean, with a great view overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. The bath was large, the air conditioner was new, and it was comfortable to stay with our dog as well. The service was polite and very good. Thank you very much. If the price were a little lower, it would be easier to stay again and would have been perfect.

We stayed for one night to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. All the staff were always smiling, and their service was polite and attentive, so we had a very comfortable and enjoyable time. Upon arrival, we were shown to a private room next to the lobby, where we enjoyed some tea and sweets while choosing yukata. The lobby also had books and a souvenir shop. On the rooftop terrace there was a footbath, and we could truly relax while looking out over Lake Ashi and the surrounding mountains. We didn’t use them this time, but there was also a table tennis room (paid) and a kids’ room. The view from the open-air bath in our Room was amazing—I ended up soaking three times: on the first evening, at night, and again after breakfast on day two (haha). It seems they can also adjust the set temperature of the open-air bath upon request. In addition to the shower next to the open-air bath, there was also an indoor bathroom in the Room. I was happy that the hair dryer in the Room was ReFa. We had both dinner and breakfast during our stay. Both meals were served in the same private room we were shown to upon arrival. Dinner started at 18:00, and breakfast could be chosen between 8:30 or 9:00—great for someone like me who isn’t good at waking up early. Dinner included dishes such as salt-crusted grilled spiny lobster as well as lava-stone grilling of Kanagawa beef and Ashigara beef, which made it really fun. Both dinner and breakfast were truly excellent, and my girlfriend was very satisfied. The large public bath wasn’t very big, but it wasn’t crowded at all—we were able to bathe almost privately most of the time. The water was milky/opaque (nigoriyu), and my skin felt pleasantly soft afterward. I’ve been to Hakone several times, but it’s rare to find an Accommodation this good. We would definitely love to stay again. Thank you very much!

The entire hotel was clean, and the staff were very kind and helpful. I’m glad we chose to have dinner at the hotel instead of searching around. If I have the chance to visit again, I would like to stay at Hotel Route-Inn Nagahama Inter again.

The bath was very relaxing and the food was delicious—we were extremely satisfied! However, there were two disappointing points. 1) We would have appreciated having a mirror in the Room. There was only one at the dimly lit sink... 2) When we went for a morning bath, there was a large amount of something like sugar (possibly from snacks) spilled inside a locker in the changing Room. It may have been left by the previous guest, but it was still disappointing.

I had wanted to visit ever since I saw it on a travel TV show. The open-air bath attached to the Room was very spacious, and the Onsen water felt gentle and wonderful. The ayu (sweetfish) I tried for the first time this year was also very fresh, and the dishes made with local vegetables as well as the sake lees and fruit pudding were delicious. The staff member in charge of our Room was pleasant, and while we were having breakfast, they put away the futons and tidied everything up nicely, so we could relax with a cup of coffee. My husband and I are also talking about coming again in winter.

We visited Kinosaki Onsen for our wedding anniversary trip. Thank you for the many services, including shuttle service from the station to the hotel, a yukata rental for women, the Yumepa electronic ticket for the public baths, and an anniversary gift. These days, dinner and breakfast are often served buffet-style in a large dining hall, but at Kawaguchiya we were able to enjoy our meals in a private room and spend quiet time together. As a more mature couple, we felt that this kind of calm atmosphere was really nice.

It was my first visit to a wooden Ryokan in quite some time. The nostalgic, comforting creak of the floors with every step was wonderful. These days, even a single pane of glass feels truly precious. Dinner was served in our Room, one dish at a time; every carefully prepared course was delicious and very satisfying. Even the seaweed tsukudani at breakfast was exceptional, and I ordered the dried fish as soon as I got home. It became a memorable family trip for us.

The meals were delicious, and the Onsen was clean, beautiful, and spacious. The service was polite and excellent. The location is also great, with a roadside station nearby (with an open plaza and rental play equipment such as balls) as well as a nearby stone circle heritage site. If the weather is good, families with children can enjoy a full day out.

This was my first stay at Setsu Niseko on a parent-and-children trip with my two daughters. When we arrived, I couldn’t find the parking area and was unsure what to do at the entrance, but a staff member immediately approached us and kindly guided us. From check-in to assistance throughout the property, not only the front desk team but every staff member was truly welcoming and attentive, making our stay extremely satisfying. The entire facility was spotless, our room was spacious and very relaxing, and the mountain view from the room was wonderful—an experience that made me want to return again.

Very close to Bellesalle. The Room was comfortable, with the bathtub and shower separated from the toilet. I was able to spend time in a very quiet environment, and my work went smoothly. Thank you very much.
