I stayed here on a solo trip. It is a small Accommodation, but every detail is thoughtfully cared for, and I had a very comfortable stay. Ikebana arrangements were displayed throughout wherever my eyes fell, and I could really feel the Accommodation’s hospitality. The meals—especially the vegetables—were delicious, and since they were served in my Room, I was able to enjoy them at a relaxed pace. I left the Accommodation sincerely thinking, “I want to stay here again!” Thank you very much.

It was so comfortable that I stayed two months in a row. I had a great time last month, so this time I stayed with friends for a girls’ night. Last time I was on the 6th floor, and this time on the 5th, which felt just right in terms of height. The Room is very spacious and comfortable, and the layout makes it easy to get around the building. We spent a long time chatting in the lounge. I really appreciated the wide selection of complimentary drinks and the snacks provided. Other guests in the lounge were also considerate and used it quietly. I would definitely like to visit again. The open-air bath was also very relaxing. Thank you for such a soothing stay.

As a couple in our 40s, we visited to unwind and enjoy some quiet time away from everyday fatigue. We chose a Room with a balcony so we could relax and watch the sky… but across from us, the torn shoji screens of what seemed to be a Hotel that is no longer operating were visible… at night it felt a bit like a test of courage, so we couldn’t go out… lol. Other than that, the food and baths were wonderful, and there was absolutely no sense of crowds—choosing this small Accommodation was exactly the right decision. After dinner, we went to the riverside about a 5-minute walk away, and it happened to be firefly season. We were both thrilled to see real fireflies for the first time…! The whole village was quiet, and compared with Tokyo it was cool in the mornings and evenings. In the morning we enjoyed a gentle-on-the-body, delicious breakfast. We truly felt refreshed from the bottom of our hearts. This is an Accommodation we definitely want to visit again. Thank you for taking such good care of us.

The relaxing Facility, the charming Room, the wonderful cuisine, and the silky Onsen I could stay in forever—everything was exceptional. The staff’s warm smiles and attentive hospitality made it even better. This is the first Accommodation where I truly didn’t want to leave because it felt so comfortable. I would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

A well-balanced breakfast gave me the energy to head to work, and the large bath helped me unwind after a long day. Despite the clean Room and convenient location, the price is reasonable. There are no excessive amenities, but all necessary services are well provided, making my business trip comfortable. They also handled taxi arrangements with great care, and I felt it was a Hotel where I could stay with peace of mind. I was also satisfied with the user-friendly in-Room features such as a TV that shows how crowded the dining area and large public bath are, as well as an air purifier.

We stayed in the annex. I had been a bit worried after reading reviews mentioning insects and wondered if it might be an older building, but it was absolutely wonderful. The building may be old, but it is kept very well maintained. As soon as we entered the room, it smelled pleasant from the entrance, and everything was very clean—there was no sign of insects at all, so we felt comfortable staying there. We were able to relax completely. The hot spring and the meals were both excellent.

This was our second stay, as we stayed here last year as well. We loved the all-you-can-eat crab, so we came back again this year!! All the other food was also delicious, and I ended up having plenty of salmon roe even more than crab! The bath was wonderfully quiet when we went in early. I’m sure we’ll be back again next year.

We checked in after enjoying a full day of walking around the hot spring town, visiting Jigokudani, Oyunuma, and the footbaths in beautiful weather. The location of Dai-ichi Takimotokan is amazing—simply the best. Everything was great—the comfort inside the hotel, the fun souvenir shop, and the excellent breakfast and dinner buffets—but above all, the hot springs were truly spectacular! There are so many baths where you can enjoy five different types of spring water, spread across an enormous space about twice the size of a gymnasium. The ceilings are high, and one entire glass wall faces Jigokudani—so it feels like soaking in an onsen right in the valley you just explored, with nature all around you. It’s a one-of-a-kind hot spring experience unlike any other hotel; personally, I think it’s among the best in Japan. I hope everyone gets to enjoy both the view from the baths during bright daytime hours and these wonderful five types of spring water. We’ll be back next year!

The in-Room bath was great, and we also loved the four private baths available 24 hours a day with no Reservation required. The skincare lotion in the Room was Sekkisei, and for dinner we could choose rice or cheese. Even though we were full, the matsutake mushroom rice was so delicious that we finished it. In the evening, we were able to take the Shuttle Service bus to see the illuminated Yubatake. It was our first time in Kusatsu, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

We booked the Plan with dinner on a riverside dining platform, and not only was the meal excellent, but we also had a wonderful time chatting with a maiko, which became a great memory.\nThe in-house Facilities were also superb, and we especially enjoyed the Onsen twice.\nWe were truly moved by the warm hospitality of all the staff. Thank you very much for taking care of us.

The front desk staff were wonderful! Even though we checked in after midnight, they kindly accommodated us. We stayed here the night before heading to Kusatsu Onsen. This time, our family used the Special Room. As soon as we entered the Room, it was incredibly spacious!!! The bathroom in particular was huge and amazing!! There were plenty of amenities, which was really helpful—and when we opened the refrigerator, there were complimentary drinks!! There were also cup udon noodles on the table for each of us!! The service was excellent and we were very satisfied! For this price, the Room size and service are more than enough. A truly satisfying Hotel!! We would love to stay again.

From arrival by car to departure, we had a very pleasant stay. All the staff were cheerful and very kind, and the meals were excellent. When we left by car, it was especially memorable that they kept waving until we were out of sight. We would definitely like to stay again.

We were disappointed that the weather was bad and we couldn’t visit Zao Okama, but we were very satisfied with the Hotel. We were able to relax both in the Room and in the Onsen, and the meals were excellent. What my wife and I liked best was the breakfast—it was the best we’ve had anywhere we’ve stayed so far. This is an Accommodation we would like to stay at again.

The staff provided excellent service, and the amenities were well stocked. The bathroom also had a separate washing area, so we could relax and enjoy a comfortable soak. After watching Disney’s nighttime show, Maihama Station was extremely crowded, so staying at this Hotel near Maihama Station was very convenient.

During our trip to Ise, we stayed at this Ryokan in Toba and had a truly wonderful time. From the warm welcome on arrival, the bus driver’s cheerful conversation helped us relax and made us feel comfortable from the very start of our journey. At the Ryokan, the Onsen was exceptional. I was so happy that my skin felt silky smooth that I ended up soaking six times—I couldn’t have been more satisfied. The staff also kindly gave us detailed advice for sightseeing the next day. They even considered train schedules, which helped us make the most of our limited time. Of course, we were completely satisfied with everything—the view from our Room and all of the meals. In every moment, we felt the staff’s thoughtful attention to detail, and it was clear that they are consistently well trained. Finding a Ryokan that genuinely made me think, “I want to stay here again,” is one of my favorite memories from this trip. Thank you very much to all of the staff. When we visit Ise and Toba again, we would love to stay with you.

This was my third stay. Compared to before, the hospitality around the front desk had improved even more. Thank you for your thoughtful care. This time, I tried lunch at the 1F restaurant “P72” for the first time, and I was very satisfied with the comfortable atmosphere and service, as well as the beautifully presented and delicious dishes. Breakfast was outstanding as always. I was able to relax and fully enjoy my time in my Room. I look forward to visiting again.

I first stayed here four years ago and have been wanting to return ever since. The relaxing room, wonderful views, private open-air bath in the room that you can enjoy without worry, delicious meals, and the heartfelt service from the staff—everything was excellent. I misplaced a bracelet I had been wearing during my stay, but the staff helped search for it and it was safely returned to me. I truly appreciated it. I will definitely come back again.

We decided to come on short notice, and once again we received warm, attentive hospitality, just like last time. We were able to relax in the lounge with drinks, refresh in the stone sauna in the morning, and enjoy the open-air bath in our Room many times, which helped us unwind. It was so good for a third visit that we felt this is the only Ryokan nearby where we can truly relax. We will definitely visit again.

We stayed here during my 7th month of pregnancy for a maternity trip. It was our first time staying in Gora, and while choosing among the many Accommodations, we decided based on the availability of an in-room open-air bath, Reviews of the food, and the high level of service—and it was absolutely the right choice. Every dish was delicious, and from check-in to check-out we had a truly comfortable experience. It was our last trip as a couple before welcoming our baby, and it became a very memorable journey. My husband also said that although he has stayed at many Accommodations before, this one left a particularly strong impression and he was very satisfied. We would definitely like to stay again.

My wife and I stayed here to see the redevelopment of a place that means a lot to us, and it was an extremely comfortable stay that showcased all the best aspects of this new Hotel. In particular, as many others have mentioned, our time in the Gold Lounge was wonderful. Perhaps it helped that we stayed just before a long holiday weekend and could enjoy a calm atmosphere, but even compared with lounges at other Hotels, there were many standout points—such as evening cocktails with a bartender (the whisky-based cocktails were especially delicious) and an excellent food selection at checkout (the beer after the pool and the wrap sandwiches were fantastic). If I had to mention one thing, it would be that draft beer would have been nice. Breakfast was also very good (though it was unfortunate that fibers from the napkins frayed and stuck to my black clothes...), and we were impressed by the staff’s language skills and high level of hospitality. The facilities were outstanding as well: a bay-view Room with floor-to-ceiling windows, an infinity pool with Tokyo Tower right nearby, and an outdoor jacuzzi. The baked sweets and cakes we bought as souvenirs were all delicious—especially the macarons, which were a big hit in our household. We’re already talking about coming back next time as a family of three. We also heard that a Raffles Hotel from the same group is scheduled to open in Hamamatsucho in 2028, which gives us even more to look forward to.
