Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 170Page Number

The location was great and very convenient. The Hotel has a retro atmosphere. Everything was well cleaned, and we had a comfortable stay. Having a washing machine and dryer was very helpful! The front desk staff were all kind—nothing to complain about. This is a Hotel we’d love to stay at again if we have the chance. Thank you for your hospitality.

Ayanna Miyakojima was the hotel I had always wanted to stay at when traveling to Miyakojima. Since it’s such a wonderful property, it was fully booked during Golden Week, but I joined the waitlist and was lucky enough to secure a stay!! A few days before our stay, they called to confirm our arrival time and kindly asked if we were celebrating any special occasion, offering to arrange a cake (for an additional fee). Our stay was just before the rainy season began, and the weather was great. When we opened the door to our room, there was a stylish interior leading out to the pool—and beyond that, a beautiful ocean view. Relaxing on a poolside chair with an Orion beer they had stocked in the fridge was truly the best time!! I’ve stayed in rooms with private pools before—on Okinawa’s main island, on other dates in Miyakojima this trip, and even in Hakone—but personally, Ayanna Miyakojima is my favorite. Breakfast was beautifully set up for us, and the Eggs Benedict was outstanding! One thing to note: everything—from check-in to booking breakfast—was done via smartphone. However, they were very supportive whenever we had questions, so I think even those who aren’t comfortable with technology can feel at ease. Thank you for such a wonderful time.

Although I was traveling solo, I stayed in a twin Room, which was spacious enough to relax. There was also a large public bath, and the towel bag and amenities needed for bathing were well provided, so even though it was a business trip, I was very satisfied. I would like to stay here again when I visit Sapporo.

The front desk staff were polite and genuinely caring. The room was spacious, with a two-tier refrigerator, a large TV, plenty of power outlets, and USB charging. The chair was big like a gaming sofa and very comfortable. Breakfast lived up to its reputation. I chose the Japanese set, and I was surprised that the rice was served in an ohitsu wooden tub. The side dishes were delicious, and there was coffee after the meal—nothing to complain about. I chose this hotel for three reasons: the low price, free parking, and breakfast. I was satisfied with all of them. I’ve been traveling solo to various places recently, but this is the first hotel where I felt it was a shame to leave after just one night. As mentioned earlier, not only the front desk staff but also everyone in the dining area provided pleasantly courteous service that made me feel great. I’d like to come back when I try again to see the whirlpools (Uzu-shio). This stay became one of my favorite travel memories. As for the hot spring/bath facilities, I only used the shower, so it was neither good nor bad for me personally. The facilities aren’t new, but as noted above, what satisfied me outweighed everything else. Thank you very much.

We were completely satisfied with everything—the inn, the meals, the baths, and the staff. It was only a one-night stay, but next time we’d love to stay multiple nights and truly enjoy the property itself. Despite what some Google reviews mention, we didn’t notice any lack of maintenance in the room or bathtub; it was a wonderful inn with an atmospheric charm exactly as shown in the photos. Because it’s a hidden retreat, it can be hard to find the entrance and parking area at night, but if you call they will guide you. The staff were exceptionally polite and gentle throughout—arrival, escorting us to our room, assistance when going out, breakfast, and checkout—so we were able to relax with peace of mind. The building feels like a large traditional house that has been renovated: on the first floor there are private family baths, private dining rooms, a counter area (and likely the kitchen), while upstairs there are four guest rooms. The staircase is wide as well. Our room first had a spacious entryway of about 3 tatami mats; beyond an old-style wooden door reminiscent of Taisho/early Showa era design were the sink area and toilet. The pleasant scent of incense and subdued lighting were lovely touches. Just like in the photos, the room has exposed beams and a high ceiling with a skylight—on clear mornings you can see blue sky above. The room was more than spacious enough; even after laying out three futons there was still plenty of space besides the table. The bath towels were stylish too. The terrace felt just under 4 tatami mats in size and had a table, two chairs, a changing space, an open-air bath (rotenburo), and a single-person washing area. The tub was very clean. The water is quite hot (possibly around 43–44°C), so we recommend running cool water from the shower into it for about 10 minutes before getting in. Also note that spider webs often form around the fence area. With forest right in front of you, enjoying “forest bathing” at the same time was fantastic. We also used one of the family baths—it was spacious and comfortable. The tub has thick wooden framing with real character. Some people say it looks unmaintained; to us it seemed intentionally left to age naturally—and we liked that aesthetic. The water temperature there was slightly cooler and easy to soak in; both temperature and water quality felt great. Breakfast was also excellent—we finished everything before we knew it. It really was delicious… Our whole family enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you for taking such good care of us. Below are some tips that will make your stay even better: - Depending on staffing levels there may be times when they can’t answer calls right away; leaving voicemail ensures they will get back to you reliably - It’s best to watch their official YouTube directions video before driving there—they mentioned that taking another route could risk slipping off/nicking wheels off-road - The open-air bath on your terrace runs hot; dilute it with cold shower water before entering—the water quality and setting are both outstanding

The Room was spacious and lovely, and the meals were wonderful with thoughtful touches. The staff were friendly, and it made for an excellent stay. We had been looking forward to the open-air bath, but at night many small moths flew in and I couldn’t use it. I understand it can’t be helped in a forest setting, but it was disappointing. It’s not a place we can visit often, but it’s a Hotel we definitely want to return to. Thank you very much.

This is my second stay at Hanakoyado. I became a repeat guest because this is where you find the answer to whether high-quality Onsen and gourmet dining can truly be enjoyed at a reasonable price. The traditional wooden building and tiled bath are full of classic Onsen atmosphere. Even more luxuriously, the Kinsen flows continuously, and when you sink into the tub, the overflowing water swirls as it runs off. I also enjoyed a steam bath using the high-temperature source spring. The rice cooked in the okudosan is delicious, and the fish and meat carefully grilled over charcoal with radiant heat are more than satisfying. To top it off, curry rice is served at the end as well. There is an Onsen experience and cuisine here that feel wonderfully untouched by modern times.

It was an absolutely wonderful stay. When I asked to leave my luggage before check-in, you kindly accommodated my request, which allowed me to go about my plans with peace of mind. The moment I stepped into the Hotel, I was enveloped in a refined yet glamorous fragrance that instantly made the experience feel special. All of the staff were impeccably presented, with polished manners and elegant language. Every interaction felt delightful and memorable. The Club Lounge presentations were all excellent. In particular, the Pasha coffee served at afternoon tea and the specially paired sweets were exceptional—I truly enjoyed a luxurious and uplifting time. I also stopped by the bar before bed, where the bartender created one original cocktail after another tailored to my preferences. It felt like being in a dream. In my room, I initially found the shower controls a bit difficult to use, but when I contacted you, a staff member came right away and explained everything clearly, which was very helpful. Above all, the bed was more comfortable than anything I have ever experienced, and I slept wonderfully. Thanks to you, it became an unforgettable trip. I would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

I’m a repeat guest at Prince Hotels. On the day of my stay, I suddenly felt like going to Shimoda and made a last-minute reservation. Since the weather was clear, I enjoyed a sky full of stars from the balcony, and in the morning I was able to see a wonderful sunrise. It was a shame that the large hot spring bath didn’t have an open-air bath, but I was very satisfied with the horizon stretching out below. Shirahama Shrine is nearby, so I walked over to visit it, then enjoyed another morning soak and had plenty of time to relax until the 11:00 check-out. From reception to the housekeeping staff, everyone greeted me with a smile and made me feel welcome—truly what you’d expect from a Prince Hotel. A highly recommended hotel.

We stayed with you for 2 nights and 3 days from September 13 to 15, 2026. We stayed many times back when it was Kanpo no Yado Isawa, and since it became the Chateraise Hotel, this was our third stay. I think it’s a very nice Hotel with a calm atmosphere. Since becoming the Chateraise Hotel, there are welcome cakes and all-you-can-eat ice cream, and the perks are very generous—overall, I think it’s an excellent Hotel. There are also many places to sightsee nearby. Each time we visit we go to Takeda Shrine, Shosenkyo Gorge, the winery next to the Shosenkyo Ropeway station, the Kikyouya factory tour, Mt. Fuji, Oshino Hakkai Springs, Kitaguchi Hongu Fuji Sengen Shrine, and we drive around the Fuji Five Lakes area while stopping at roadside stations. For souvenirs we buy Kikyou Shingen Mochi and Sunshine Red grapes that are only sold in Yamanashi Prefecture. It’s a place that never gets old no matter how many times we visit, so I’d like to continue using this Chateraise Hotel for years to come. I have no particular complaints—it’s a good Hotel—but if I had to suggest improvements: After staying three times, I felt the ice cream selection is always about the same. Also my favorites (rum raisin, almond jelly flavor, mango) were not available. I came this time hoping they might be offered—but they weren’t—so that was disappointing. When I checked at a Chateraise shop near home, those flavors cost the same as what is provided here. So I wondered why they aren’t included. If I’m going to stay here anyway, I’d really like to be able to eat my favorite flavors—please consider this request. Also regarding the shop on the first floor: it only sells items that are also available at my local Chateraise store near home, so they don’t really work as souvenirs. If possible, I would like you to stock about half exclusive-to-Chateraise Hotel Isawa items (or special Chateraise souvenir products) and half Yamanashi souvenirs in the shop. When I tell people “I went on a trip to Yamanashi” and give them souvenirs that can be bought at my neighborhood Chateraise store too، they ask “Wait—where is this souvenir from?” So if possible، please improve this as well. I will use your Hotel again when traveling، so thank you in advance. Lastly، it feels lonely not having any spot-billed ducks anymore.

A wonderful sense of charm and atmosphere, hot springs worthy of a renowned spa, delicious cuisine crafted with meticulous skill in both quality and quantity, and comfortable accommodations! It was a trip I’d love to take again!

I stayed in a Room with an open-air bath, and the Room was simply outstanding. The spaciousness, cleanliness, design, and the in-room Onsen were all excellent. Since we didn’t order meals this time, we had limited interaction with the staff, but we didn’t experience any inconvenience. I’d love to visit again.

Our child was thrilled with the bunk bed and had a great time. The waffles at breakfast were delicious. We would love to stay again.

Thank you for your courteous service, which made us feel at ease during our stay. We would love to stay again next time.

I booked this as a stopover for the middle of our Multiple Night Stay trip without knowing much about the area, and it was wonderful! The Room was spacious, and the futons were already laid out in the Japanese-style room. The bedding was very comfortable—perhaps with a mattress included—and I slept well without any body aches. The Onsen Facility was also very clean and enjoyable. Breakfast was delicious, and my wife and children were very happy. Thank you very much!

The Room was much more spacious than I expected, and the amenities were well stocked. The morning coffee service and easy microwave snacks were also great. The only thing I noticed—just a minor detail—was that when you enter and open the door, the entry step area extends to the right, which made it hard to take off shoes and close the door (my shoes could get caught in the door). If that space extended a bit more to the left instead of the right, it might be easier to come and go, so I rated the Facility 4. That said, everything was very comfortable, starting with the front desk staff’s service. The Room was truly spacious with a sofa and very clean. Going out into Otaru and returning to the Accommodation also felt easier and more casual than at a typical large Hotel. If I have another chance, I would definitely like to stay again.

It was very helpful that we were allowed to use the parking lot while exploring Mizuki Shigeru Road. The Room, the bath, and the meals were all great. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

When I arrived at the Hotel, I was surprised by how old the exterior looked, but I pulled myself together and checked in. The lobby was filled with all kinds of quirky decorations—toys, masks, stuffed animals, and countless clocks that were each slightly out of sync—making it feel like I had wandered into another dimension. The guest room also felt dated, but it was kept clean and tidy. Best of all, the Pacific Ocean stretched out right in front of me; with Inubosaki Lighthouse to the left and the sound of waves close by, it offered an outstanding ocean view. The baths also included an open-air bath that felt seamlessly connected to the sea, which was very relaxing. The meals were thoughtfully prepared and satisfying. There are several library rooms inside the Hotel, well stocked with a huge selection of manga magazines, collected volumes, and general books—I could even lose myself in reading while looking out at the ocean. “Chospo” (Choshi Sports) was also an entertaining newspaper. It’s not a place you’d call spotless or modern, but in its own way it feels stylish—a unique Hotel where you can enjoy something out of the ordinary.

I stayed for a Multiple Night Stay. The station was close and convenient, and I was satisfied with the service and the bath. The meals were also great—the miso soup was different each day, which made me feel they were considerate of guests staying multiple nights.

Located just a short walk from the station, making it ideal for train users. As a new Hotel, it is clean and well-maintained. While there is no coffee in the Room, a coffee machine is available at the front desk for free use. Breakfast starts at 6:30 AM and, as introduced on the website, has a homemade touch and is delicious. This time, the featured dish is Mapo Eggplant, along with plenty of vegetables. Unlimited local "Shirobara Milk" from Daisen Dairy is also available, adding a delightful regional touch.
