Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 191Page Number

This was our first trip to Mikuni, and also our first time staying overnight there. Our child couldn’t wait to get into the hot springs, so we checked in almost as soon as check-in opened. We headed straight to the baths with our child. Because the bath can be reserved for private use by a family, we could relax without worrying about other guests and truly enjoy it. Both the indoor bath and the open-air bath were a comfortable size, with just the right water temperature. After bathing, dinner began. We had Wakasa beef steak and a whole grilled nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch) seasoned with salt. The vinegared dishes and chawanmushi were also delicious. My partner was especially happy with the perfectly balanced salt seasoning on the nodoguro! We were also delighted by the owner’s warm hospitality. Our child was thrilled too—hamburg steak, fried shrimp, and more made for a very happy dinner! The owner told us about local fish and Mikuni specialties such as momi-wakame seaweed, which made for a truly meaningful time. Then all three of us enjoyed another private bath together—my wife and child were both very satisfied! We all went to bed at 9 p.m., then headed back to the baths first thing in the morning. After that came breakfast—the moment we’d been waiting for. Drinks were plentiful too, including green smoothies and orange juice! For breakfast, we adults had mackerel, while our child had salmon; both were exceptionally tasty. The owner also recommended visiting Mikuni’s roadside station (Michi-no-Eki) to look for souvenirs, which helped make this one-night trip feel wonderfully complete. It’s a small inn, but thanks to their kindness toward children—and an excellent balance of meals, baths, and service—we had an outstanding stay. There seems to be a resort hotel near Tojinbo as well, but we’re glad we chose Kaze no Mori instead. Thank you very much.

The stylish interior in this historic building was wonderful! The Hotel had a great atmosphere that truly reflects its heritage. All the staff were very friendly and pleasant. The shower was incredibly cool! (LOL) The location is also perfect—right in the heart of the sightseeing area with excellent access. Lucky Pierrot and Hasegawa Store are right next door, Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses are just nearby, and Mt. Hakodate is only a short walk away—nothing to complain about. I’d definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.

I visited with my wife. From the moment we stepped into the Accommodation, we felt it was a place to relax and unwind. We thoroughly enjoyed the free-flow drinks from 3:00 PM (a truly welcome system for those who enjoy alcohol—I even ended up drinking a bit too much). While there are shared spaces, the focus is on spending time in your private Room. Rather than a detached building typical of an Onsen Ryokan, it may be best to picture a cottage with a simple open-air bath. Instead of rushing through check-in and check-out for sightseeing, I recommend checking in early and taking your time to enjoy the bath and relax in your Room.

This was my first time using it. I have used nearby chain Hotels several times, but I chose this one because it is closer to my destination. It was very good. Above all, the response of the front desk staff was excellent. Also, I enjoyed both dinner and breakfast as they were delicious. If there is an opportunity, I would like to use it again.

If you request a high-floor, ocean-side room, you can enjoy a wonderful view. Since availability is limited, it may be worth asking in advance. Route Inn breakfasts are generally similar across locations, but this one had a better selection and quality than other Route Inns. By taxi, it’s closer from Nishitetsu Omuta Station.

1. Room: Spotlessly clean, down to the smallest details From the moment you step inside, a calm Japanese ambiance surrounds you. The room was beautifully maintained and thoroughly cleaned, with a refreshing sense of cleanliness in every corner, making it truly comfortable. The views of nature and the hot spring town from the window were soothing as well—I was able to relax right after arriving. 2. Dining: Exceptional cuisine showcasing seasonal flavors Both dinner and breakfast were absolutely satisfying! Each meal featured plenty of fresh local ingredients and seasonal specialties, and you can tell every dish is prepared with great care. Beautifully presented and full of flavor, it was delicious enough to leave both my stomach and my heart completely satisfied. 3. Hot Springs: You’ll feel it immediately—silky-smooth skin after bathing When it comes to Yumeryutan, the hot springs are a must. The water is soft and gentle on the skin, and as soon as I stepped out of the bath I could feel how smooth and supple my skin had become. Soaking in the open-air bath while listening to the river’s gentle flow was pure bliss—so relaxing you’ll want to stay in longer.

We stayed in a Japanese-Western style room for three people. The exterior and shared areas were very clean, but there were a few disappointing points. First, there was no ceiling light in the Western-style room. Perhaps because it’s a bedroom? Even so, two of the three of us were elderly this time. A bed isn’t used only for sleeping. Since it’s difficult to stand up after sitting on tatami mats, we wanted to sit on the bed to chat or watch TV if there wasn’t a sofa, but it felt too dim for that. Another point—again from an elderly guest’s perspective—was that the steamed white rice seemed rather hard. The location right in front of the Kuma River was excellent, and the staff were wonderful, so overall we consider ourselves mostly satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality.

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!

Everything was excellent, including the hotel’s location and facilities. It felt less like a typical hotel and more like a charming traditional inn from days gone by, and I was very satisfied. I heard that “Campana” means “bell” in Spanish, and I also liked the hotel’s dignified atmosphere. Some of the staff are from overseas, but the Japanese staff were exceptionally polite and professional. I am grateful for their hospitality, which also reflected the warm, friendly spirit of the Goto Islands in Nagasaki. Breakfast changed slightly each day as well, and I was very pleased with it every time. I would like to express my gratitude. Thank you very much.

Our stay coincided with Typhoon No. 9. Normally, dinner requires a Reservation, but since going out or ordering delivery was difficult, they kindly provided a special Okinawa soba dinner for us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t enjoy the sauna, pool, or the starry sky we had been looking forward to, but thanks to the friendly staff, all-you-can-drink beverages and snacks, and the jacuzzi, we had a very satisfying stay.

Being able to get around underground without being affected by the weather is very convenient. The Room is simple, and the amenities are well stocked. The bathtub was spacious and relaxing. I would like to stay here again when staying near Kyoto Station. When I returned after check-out because I had forgotten something, you responded quickly, which was a great help. Thank you very much.

The room was very clean and spacious, allowing for a relaxing stay. The meals were delicious, and the large public bath and open-air bath offered both hotter and slightly warm options, making it easy to enjoy for extended periods. Despite being early September, cicadas were chirping, creating a nostalgic atmosphere to savor the end of summer while relaxing in the open-air bath. Thank you to all the staff for making it a memorable experience!

This accommodation is highly recommended for a multiple night stay. One night is simply not enough. There are plenty of experiences to enjoy, such as cooking in a fully equipped kitchen, gathering herbs on the property, watching movies with a projector, reading books available in the room, grinding and brewing your own coffee beans, and sitting by the campfire. During this visit, I stayed for one night and felt reluctant to leave. I promised my friends that we would definitely come back again. The open space with high ceilings and large windows was incredibly pleasant. Next time, I plan to stay longer to enjoy drawing, knitting, reading books, relaxing in the sauna, or taking walks. This is the perfect place to escape from the busyness of city life and take time to reconnect with yourself—highly recommended!

We stayed with a total of seven guests—five adults and two young children—and everyone was able to relax comfortably throughout our stay. The luxurious, open layout was truly impressive, never once feeling cramped even with this many people. True to the “self auberge” concept, shopping for fresh local ingredients and taking our time cooking them over the lava stone hearth was an exceptional experience. It wasn’t just about cooking—we enjoyed a truly indulgent time gathered around the fire, relaxing and chatting at our own pace. The private sauna was also outstanding; after reaching peak relaxation, the panoramic view of the town from the elevated terrace was breathtaking. The interior design, amenities, and tableware were all thoughtfully curated down to the smallest details, making it feel like one night simply wasn’t enough. Both adults and children were completely satisfied, and we will definitely be back again.

We could only book a “limited-offer” Japanese-style room, so it felt quite old and the stairs creaked, which is why I couldn’t give it a perfect score.\nOther than that, everything was wonderful. I’d like to stay here again if I have the chance.

The staff service was excellent, and there were no particular issues with the in-room Facility. I had a very comfortable stay. One concern: I assumed the room door would close automatically when I went out, but it caught partway and ended up being left open while I was away. For the bathing Facility, it would be convenient if amenities such as toothbrushes and razors were available in the bathing area.

I felt this Accommodation could be rated very differently depending on the purpose of your trip and the Room you choose. I stayed because I was interested in their guest Room with a semi-open-air bath. The exterior looks dated, and the front desk area doesn’t feel like a typical Hotel, which made me a bit uneasy at first. But once I entered the Room, it was very clean and instantly lifted my mood. The Facility also felt relatively new and well maintained. And of course, it has an ocean view. The refrigerator includes a freezer compartment, and there’s also a microwave and a washing machine (with dryer). Amenities such as skincare items and cleansing products are all provided individually packaged. There were two bath towels set out plus one spare in the drawer—three per person in total, which was more than enough. (Though I’m not sure if this applies only to Rooms with a semi-open-air bath.) Most importantly, the semi-open-air bath was truly wonderful. You can see the ocean at a glance through the large window, and the tub is spacious enough for what feels like four people. The Onsen in the Room is not free-flowing, but it’s easy to adjust the temperature so you can soak as long as you like at your preferred heat. Because there’s a glass partition between it and the living area, you can even watch TV (with subtitles) while bathing. The staff were pleasant and kind—they quickly helped me exchange my indoor sandal size and delivered them to my Room. It was No Meals Included, but it’s close to both the station and Atami Ginza, making dining out and shopping very convenient. It’s different from an ordinary Hotel, but as a condominium-style stay with an in-room Onsen, it was excellent. I highly recommend the Grand View Room. I’d love to visit again.

We stayed here as a couple on a trip to Matsumoto. We made a Reservation at this Hotel because we were looking for a guest Room near Matsumoto Castle with an open-air bath and private dining. It was close to the castle, and we arrived without getting lost. Both the building and the Room were very well cleaned and felt spotless. The view from the Room was also great. We enjoyed our meal in a private room, and everything was delicious. We chose the dining Plan for guests aged 50 and over, and the portion size was just right. Since there aren’t many shops nearby, we bought drinks from the vending machine inside, but there was only one machine, so the selection was limited. Overall: 5 stars. I usually buy towels with the Hotel name when I stay somewhere, but I forgot this time—so when we visit Matsumoto again, we’ll be happy to stay here again.

Oguni Auberge Waita-kan The Onsen was amazing, and the game cuisine was delicious. We’ll be back!

We stayed in a Junior Suite with a total of six people: our family and our grandchild’s family (including our 2-year-old grandchild). Since we booked five months in advance, we were able to plan within a budget we were happy with. The room was spacious enough. It was on the mountain side, but we could still see the ocean, and being on the 6th floor meant the view was great. Our grandchild really enjoyed the game corner, kids’ space, and Halloween decorations, and although it was also my husband’s 70th birthday celebration, it turned into a wonderful trip for everyone. Above all, the meals were excellent. There was a wide variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes—sea bream and octopus sashimi, steamed sea bream, beef shabu-shabu—and everything was truly delicious. Everyone was very satisfied with both dinner and breakfast. All of the staff were very kind, and the dining staff in particular were so warm and helpful—we really appreciated it while traveling with a young child. Thank you very much! This was actually my second stay here, and I would love to visit again.
