Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 27Page Number

This was our first time staying here, and we were very well taken care of. From the warm welcome upon arrival, we were served tea and delicious sweets before being shown to our Room. The guest Room had a clean, modern Japanese style, and we were truly impressed by the wonderful view of the sea from anywhere in the Room—even from the bath. In addition, the Onsen bath had silky, slightly thick water that felt great and left our skin smooth; we enjoyed it many times and were completely satisfied. Both dinner and breakfast were more than enough in quantity, and every dish was delicious. We initially thought the dining area seating might be close together, but it wasn’t at all; we enjoyed chatting while listening to explanations about the dishes from the proprietress and staff. We had been looking for an Accommodation where we could simply relax, enjoy great food, and soak in good hot water—and this was a wonderful Accommodation where we could truly take our time. We’re happy to have found an Accommodation that makes us think, “We definitely want to come again in a different season.”

The building was simply wonderful. We stayed in the detached Room “Gion” with an open-air bath, and it was very spacious with high ceilings; the dark brown beams and pillars gave it a charming atmosphere. There were two semi-double beds, and they were fluffy and very comfortable. The in-room open-air bath was spacious and amazing (the view would likely be especially beautiful in late autumn or when it’s snowy—though getting there might be a bit challenging). Dinner was also very delicious.

I arrived after work, so unfortunately I was on a no-dinner plan. But there was an okonomiyaki restaurant just a 1–2 minute walk away, so it worked out! At check-in, there were quite a lot of people in the lobby, but the baths weren’t crowded at night or in the morning, and I was able to relax and enjoy the hot spring. The exterior and lobby feel like a traditional hot spring inn, while the rooms are more like a business hotel. Breakfast was served in a very large room, with tables prepared by group and spaced apart from neighboring seats, so even solo travelers could eat comfortably. Rice, miso soup, and drinks were buffet-style. The menu was made up of standard breakfast items, but I was satisfied. The only disappointing thing was that there were two rice cookers side by side and both showed “1 hour.” I would have liked freshly cooked rice—ideally they could have been offered at staggered times. Still, I felt everything necessary from a guest’s perspective had been prepared at a minimum level, which was impressive. All of the staff were pleasant as well! When I stayed here over 30 years ago it felt like an old hot spring inn, but it has become very clean and updated. Thank you for taking care of me.

We visited during the Obon holidays, and the drive was not crowded at all. The Accommodation is in a great location, just a short walk to Irago Cape Lighthouse. Right in front is Koiji-ga-hama Beach, and we were able to relax at the Accommodation while enjoying the beautiful ocean view. The proprietress, the young proprietress, and all the staff were wonderfully pleasant and welcoming. We have stayed at many Ryokan and Hotels, but we think this place is the best. The food was also excellent, and we were completely satisfied with everything. We would like to take good care of the hibiscus we received on our way home—thank you very much. We would definitely like to visit again.

My mother and I stayed here together. It was our first visit in over a decade, since we came as a family of three with my late father. We were able to enjoy the delicious meals that impressed us so much back then, and simply soaking in the bath and relaxing brought such a wonderful sense of happiness. I also found it lovely to see the proprietress and everyone else working so briskly and efficiently. I shared how delighted my father had been at the time, and it became a meaningful holiday during Higan. Thank you very much.

Both the Room and the entire Accommodation were clean, and we had a very comfortable stay. The Onsen warmed us through to the core and helped relieve our travel fatigue. The meals were a delight both visually and in taste, and the steak in particular was outstanding. We had no contact with other guests, making it a quiet, relaxing space. Conversations with the staff were also pleasant, and we were very satisfied. We would love to visit again in a different season.

Staying at an inn with only three rooms really made me realize how that allows them to serve truly exceptional cuisine. The room we stayed in, “Korin,” had the bath and washbasin located outside the main room, which was a bit inconvenient. However, it comes with a dedicated dining room, so you can focus on the meal right away without leaving your room—and each dish is served at exactly the right moment. It’s been a long time since I so strongly appreciated the happiness of eating hot food while it’s still hot. From the appetizer through the lidded dish and assorted starters to the grilled course, every item brought out the full flavor of its ingredients. The grilled steak in particular surprised me: I honestly didn’t have high expectations for Tochigi Wagyu (sorry!), but it was incredibly tender, with a perfect balance of fat and lean meat. To be frank, we went to a famous steak restaurant in Nikko for dinner the next day, and this steak easily held its own against their Maezawa beef. The finishing soba was also excellent—I regret not ordering a larger portion. They serve two dipping sauces, one warm and one cold; personally, I recommend the cold one. I’m attaching a photo of breakfast as well—breakfast was wonderful too. If I have another chance to visit, I’d love to stay in a different room next time. Thank you very much.

Mr./Ms. Chitose stayed with us for the third time this year. One of this Accommodation’s highlights is the meals, but above all, it’s the quality of the hot spring water. We look forward to visiting again.

We stayed one night at the newly opened Kakoi to celebrate our dog’s birthday. The hospitality of all the staff was excellent, and the young female staff member in charge of our room was very attentive. From check-in to check-out, we had a truly comfortable stay. We were satisfied with everything—the room, the bath, the meals, and the service. Our dog enjoyed it too. We would love to visit again.

I was able to relax and enjoy multiple baths at my leisure. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and healthy.

I was impressed by the staff’s drive to improve. I was especially amazed by the chef’s thorough attention to detail—even down to the choice of serving dishes. I was also struck by the president’s wonderful spirit when I previously stayed at Takinami, and it’s simply incredible that an even more upgraded Accommodation has been created. I would love to visit again and enjoy your outstanding, carefully crafted cuisine. Thank you very much.

Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality! We truly appreciated the Room upgrade, which made our stay even more comfortable and special. For the 60th birthday celebration meal, thank you for arranging a private dining room at the restaurant, allowing all of us to relax and enjoy a memorable time together. We are grateful for the thoughtful care shown by all of your staff. We would love to visit the newly renovated Brighton Hotel again. Thank you so much!!!

We stayed for one night during the Obon holiday period. The front desk staff warmly welcomed us. The Room felt very new and was impeccably clean, so we had a very comfortable stay. It was great to have both yukata and pajamas available. They also quickly exchanged the yukata size for us, which was very helpful. We headed to the bath right away. The large public bath was very clean, and we loved that the shower kept running without having to press the button repeatedly! Bathing while looking at the castle was wonderful. The hair dryers in the changing area were ReFa. The muscat vinegar drink in the post-bath lounge was so delicious that even our children—who usually find fruit vinegar drinks too sour—went back for seconds. Since our Room included lounge access, we used the massage chair there, enjoyed some drinks, and felt refreshed. Also, the bed in our Room was incredibly comfortable—I may have slept better than I ever have while traveling. I think it’s a great fit for those who like pillows that are fluffy, soft, and low-profile. The next morning we had breakfast at Mimasaka Kitchen. We already knew it had a good reputation, but it exceeded our expectations—the lightly seasoned side dishes and wide variety of desserts that weren’t overly sweet were more than satisfying. Even better were the onigiri made by one of the staff members—perfectly light and fluffy—and our whole family couldn’t stop praising them. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with this Accommodation. Thank you very much for taking such good care of us during our stay.

As soon as we passed through Hyakurakuso’s gate, a staff member came out to greet us with a warm, welcoming smile. I had been wanting to visit this ryokan for its cave bath for a long time, and I was finally able to make it. The bath we had been looking forward to was wonderful, and the meals were also outstanding—every dish was delicious and beautifully prepared. What made us especially glad we stayed here was the genuine care and attentiveness of the staff. We were able to enjoy a relaxing, unhurried time away from everyday life.\nWe would love to visit again.

Our First Visit to Ubud no Mori All of the staff were incredibly kind and spoke to our dog so warmly. Thanks to them, we felt welcomed and comfortable from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—we were more than satisfied!! We even got to enjoy the late-night soba, which made the evening even happier. Being able to relax and have such a wonderful time with our dog became a truly special memory for us. We would love to visit again! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

We had a wonderful stay. Although the building is a bit old, it was clean and comfortable. The large public bath was not crowded, and it was kept very clean with frequent cleaning. It was also great to have a ReFa shower head installed. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent, and the grilled beef at dinner was surprisingly delicious.

The meals are such high quality you’d never guess they’re buffet-style. The menu changes with the seasons, so it never gets boring, and everything is consistently delicious every time we visit! The Rooms may seem similar at first, but the layouts and interiors vary, which makes it fun and interesting. The Surprise Plan is the best—guaranteed to become an unforgettable memory! It’s wonderful to receive, and just as fun to plan for someone else. A space where everyone is sure to feel happy! We’re truly grateful to all the staff who create this extraordinary and wonderful atmosphere.

I believe this was my second stay. The Room and the in-room bath were both spacious and very comfortable. With coffee, water, and other amenities provided, I was able to relax in the Room. The toiletries, such as lotion, were also well stocked. I was especially impressed that I received water again on the second night. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to suit different preferences. The salad was fresh and delicious as well. The sausage I had on the third morning was so good that I regretted not having it on the second day too. This time I had work during the day, so I didn’t have time to use the lounge facilities, but next time I’d like to come for sightseeing and take it easy. It was very convenient—I could easily get to the restaurants inside the station area, and the subway station is also close by.

Sorry for the late review. I always search for and stay here when I come to Tokyo because I prefer a bathroom with a separate washing area. Most of all, even with lots of luggage, it’s great not having to worry about the weather—the entrance is inside the station right after you exit the ticket gates. Although it’s close to the station, the room is quiet and comfortable. There’s a bus stop right in front of the property, and not only convenience stores but also a supermarket just a short walk away, so it’s easy to find food and do shopping (including 100-yen shops). With prices rising these days, there are times when it can be hard to afford depending on the season, but I’ll continue to stay here.

From the lobby, the guest room, and the open-air bath, you can enjoy wonderful views of the Sea of Japan from anywhere. The bath is also spacious. There was a ReFa hair dryer, and even a massage chair. There is also a footbath. Unfortunately, due to the weather we couldn’t see the spectacular sunset view, which was disappointing. We booked a plan with breakfast; it was buffet-style. There was Murakami beef curry and many other menu items. There were also sashimi, and it was delicious. There is a free shuttle bus from Murakami Station, so you can get there even without a car. Next time, I’d definitely like to see that breathtaking sunset view. It was also nice that the room had cold water and hot water provided, and jelly in the refrigerator as well. It was a room where you move around via stairs, but it wasn’t an issue for us at all. The room was more than sufficient for solo travel. Since there are no shops or convenience stores nearby, we recommend buying food and other items at the station before heading over.
