Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 30Page Number

Overall, we had a very satisfying stay. A clean property, a buffet, and a large bath! We enjoyed our reserved table tennis, and afterward you kindly extended our karaoke time by an extra 30 minutes. Thanks to the thoughtful hospitality of the Hotel staff, my children in their second year of working life were able to forget their daily stress and smile more. Thank you for a truly wonderful day.

Thank you very much for your prompt and kind support when my wife’s condition suddenly worsened and required emergency assistance. We are also truly grateful for your thoughtfulness in preparing a breakfast box for us when we returned from the hospital. This stay ended up being quite hectic, but next time we would love to take our time and fully enjoy the Accommodation. Once again, thank you sincerely for your warm hospitality. Thank you very much.

After descending from the mountains on the second night of my two-night stay in Shima Onsen—somewhere I had long wanted to visit—I stayed at this Accommodation. It is located in a quiet area, and the beautiful views of the Shima River from both the Room and the baths, along with the excellent spring quality and comfortable temperatures, made me very satisfied. The three large public baths were each enjoyable. The proprietress’s picture-story show and talk, which she has continued for 33 years, were skillful, fun, soothing, and highly recommended. The staff were also polite and very pleasant, providing attentive hospitality throughout. This is one Accommodation I would like to stay at again.

I requested a last-minute change to the number of guests, and Yorozuya handled it with exceptional kindness and professionalism. The hot springs and the room were wonderful, and the meals in particular were delicious—we were very satisfied. All of the staff were pleasant as well. Thank you very much. We would definitely like to stay again.

We decided to stay here the day before. The food and rice were delicious, and we were truly impressed by the many dishes thoughtfully created to pair perfectly with the rice. The menu wasn’t overcomplicated, which was wonderful. The clean, beautifully prepared dishes—centered around locally grown vegetables—were outstanding. The bath had no steps, so it felt safe and reassuring for bringing my elderly mother. The complimentary beer service was also excellent. There wasn’t a single negative point. Thank you for a wonderful time and experience.

Since my injury, we’ve been celebrating our birthdays here in a Room with an open-air bath. I love Onsen, but I was afraid to use large baths and had given up. Then, as a birthday gift for my husband, we came here, and using the bath in our Room helped me regain my confidence—so it has become our regular Accommodation ever since. It’s wonderful.

I go on hot spring trips twice a month. This was my first time here, and I was extremely satisfied. The entire property, including the room, was kept very clean, and all the staff were kind. Both the large public bath and the changing area were very spacious, and the view from the open-air bath was wonderful. The water temperature was comfortable, so I could soak and relax for a long time. There’s also a sauna—and the cold plunge pool was ice-cold, which made me as a sauna lover absolutely thrilled! The only slight downside was that some foreign guests were talking loudly in the bath for a long time. I wanted to spend my time quietly. The meals were more than enough for someone with a small appetite like me. The dining staff were very kind and friendly, so I had an enjoyable time. I was also happy to receive access to a private bath and drink service through the Diamond Member benefits. This is definitely going to be one of my repeat stays. Thank you very much—I’ll be back.

The in-room hot spring bath with free-flowing source water was wonderful. The view from the room was also amazing. I stayed in and worked as part of my job, and it went very smoothly. Thank you very much. By the way, the meat at dinner was incredible—I’ve never had meat that delicious before. Thank you again.

The convenience is excellent, with the express bus stop from Sendai right in front of the property, and the bathroom’s separate washing area was also a big plus. Above all, I was amazed by how lavish the breakfast was. I chose the Japanese set, and was surprised to be served a tray-style meal that felt just like a Ryokan. Starting with imoni soup served on a small burner, every dish showcased Yamagata specialties—I was truly impressed. Both the quality and portion size were completely satisfying. I would love to stay again.

This time, we booked a Multiple Night Stay again in the same guest room we stayed in previously: a garden open-air Onsen bath room (15-tatami main room + 4.5-tatami tea room). For impressions of the Room itself, please refer to my comments from last year. First, I’d like to share how wonderful a Multiple Night Stay is. 1) The cuisine is outstanding. As introduced on the website, the monthly menu is crafted into a course using seasonal ingredients of that month, with careful attention to presentation and tableware. That alone is excellent, but the Multiple Night Stay menus are an even more diverse lineup—an explosion of the head chef’s creativity using seasonal ingredients. Both dinner and breakfast feature menus that are almost entirely different from the monthly offerings. Truly worthy of a master artisan. 2) You can enjoy the open-air Onsen freely. Although it’s an in-room open-air Onsen bath, with only one night your time to enjoy it feels limited. With a Multiple Night Stay—especially on the second day—you have much more time for the open-air Onsen and can fully relax and enjoy it. 3) Perfect for sightseeing in Ikaho. With a Multiple Night Stay you need to leave your Room during cleaning, but if you go sightseeing in Ikaho there’s no issue at all. If you head out toward the stone steps street from Fukuichi’s side, you’ll be right below Ikaho Shrine. The shrine is close by, and from there it’s easy to find your way for a round trip to Kajika Bridge as well. The Ikaho Ropeway is also comfortable to reach—it feels like going slightly downhill from the shrine area—and on your way back you can rejoin the stone steps around the middle and enjoy various shops as you walk back up toward Fukuichi. Next, I’d like to express my gratitude for the wonderful service during our stay. The attendant who served us at dinner on our first night was someone who had also taken care of us during our previous visit. In addition to being surprised with having a Multiple Night Stay menu served on day one, she carefully explained each dish as well as three coordinated alcoholic beverages selected for pairing. I’m truly grateful, and I would love to request her again next time. From breakfast on day two onward, our attendant was also serving as Kayokoro’s sommelier. At dinner on day two, when I asked on the spot for sake that would pair well with large turban shell caught off Ito off Izu Peninsula (Daesazae), he recommended Isojiman—an excellent match for the food. He told me he studied hard and earned his sommelier qualification; very impressive indeed. I was also surprised that his name is almost identical to mine; I hope he continues thriving as Kayokoro’s sommelier. We requested Shuttle Service both ways this time, and both drivers provided calm driving along with courteous assistance when getting in and out of the vehicle—thank you very much. After checkout as well, thank you sincerely to staff who continued carrying our heavy luggage and guided us on our way out. This has gotten long, but our Multiple Night Stay at Kayokoro was simply superb—we definitely want another Multiple Night Stay next time too.

We stayed here for a family trip. All of the staff were very welcoming, and we were truly impressed by the complimentary free-flow drinks service. The meals were just the right amount—not too much—and we enjoyed everything to the last bite. The sashimi in particular was outstanding! The Onsen water quality was excellent, and with the clear autumn weather that day, we felt completely refreshed in the open-air bath. Overall, it was a wonderful stay, but the only disappointment was the Wi‑Fi. The signal was extremely weak in the guest rooms, lobby, and all common areas, and it wasn’t usable in practice. Mobile reception was also poor in this location, so the weak Wi‑Fi felt like a serious issue; I regret that I couldn’t get my work done during our stay. Other than that, we were very satisfied with the service, food, and baths, and we hope the Wi‑Fi will be improved. Thank you very much.

How many times has it been now—another indulgent stay at Kasumi Onsen. Because my wife has a shellfish allergy, we avoid the Matsuba crab season, but during the spring and autumn Kasumi crab seasons we make a special request to have her crab portion replaced with nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch)—we’re truly demanding guests. I enjoy the crab, while my wife is served an unbelievably large nodoguro, perfectly grilled with salt (and I get to taste a bit of it too). Even though we’re asking for two different meals for two people, the staff not only welcome us with warm smiles, but also stop by for a chat when they have time and tell us about caring for their rice fields and plum trees. In short, while we’re here they let us do whatever we like freely—and whenever we need help, they come right away. As long as this hospitality continues, a stay at ICHIJO is guaranteed to be delicious, fun, and delightful. Top-quality ingredients, wonderful料理料理?

Recently, I had been staying mostly at foreign-owned Resort Hotels, but I was truly impressed by the outstanding balance and high standards in every aspect—service, cuisine, Room quality, and the Onsen. It reminded me of the exceptional level of Japanese hospitality.

All the staff had a calm demeanor and provided pleasant service. The Facility and amenities are kept to the bare minimum, which may feel a bit lacking. Various wild birds came to the trees in the garden, delighting both the eyes and ears. Dake Onsen left a great impression—the Onsen town itself is compact, bright, open, and well maintained.

The staff’s hospitality, the live kitchen at dinner, the private open-air bath, and the manga library—everything was wonderful and made for a great trip. Thank you very much.

Having visited Yoko no Kaze before, we stayed here this year. Our family has grown, and our daughter-in-law joined us as well. They kindly prepared Rooms next to each other for us. At Kumoba Terrace, we took our time enjoying alcohol and fresh juice, and the lit bonfire and birch forest were truly soothing. In the spacious, clean Room, we relaxed in the Onsen brought from Ueda City. The cuisine was outstanding—seasonal and beautifully presented. We enjoyed everything from the scallop takikomi rice to dessert, though the portions were a bit large for me. As it was our daughter-in-law’s birthday month, we requested a surprise message plate. She was very happy, which made us glad as well. Thanks to the thoughtful staff, we were able to add another precious family memory. Thank you very much.

The female staff’s hospitality was wonderful—on par with the Imperial Hotel Tokyo. Of course, the male staff on the night shift were great as well. One morning, I couldn’t decide between the 30-minute scrub course and the 60-minute scrub course. Even though it looked like I might go past the 11:00 check-out time, they handled it wonderfully. When I visit Sapporo again, I’d like to stay at Jasmac Hotel. It has a bit of a Showa-era feel, but it’s charming and atmospheric. It made me want to support them. Next time, I’d also like to try the dining area inside the bath facility, as I’ve heard the food is delicious. During my stay, thanks to the excellent service from the front desk staff, I was able to enjoy a comfortable two-night, three-day stay.

The bath and hot spring were beautifully maintained, and we appreciated the thoughtful hospitality, including wet chopsticks, as well as the delicious seasonal cuisine. Thanks to the attentive service from all the staff, we had a very comfortable stay. It was our first visit in a while, and everything—the room setup, the meals, and the service from all the staff—had been improved even further. It has become an even more wonderful place to stay.

I’ve stayed at Dormy Inn in other cities, but this Fukui location has a spacious, spotless public bath that made it feel like a real hot-spring trip. There’s a welcome coffee machine in the entrance, and from the evening you can enjoy a lounge-style service with alcohol and light snacks for 1,500 yen. With late-night soba, ice cream after bathing, and other thoughtful touches, it’s an easy-to-use hotel with excellent value for money and great convenience. It was a bit of a walk from the station, but there were appealing areas along the way and I enjoyed the stroll. At breakfast they prepared Echizen soba to order, and there were also Fukui specialties—everything was delicious and helped me start my workday feeling refreshed. There aren’t many hotels around Fukui Station, but in this price range I think this one offers outstanding value.

This was my first stay here, and I was impressed from the start by the unique tea served on arrival. The room was thoughtfully stocked with every amenity you could hope for. I also enjoyed the private bath and the meals. The attentive, detailed hospitality was wonderful. One small thing: perhaps it was just bad timing, but when I visited the shop a few times there was no staff present, so I hesitated to call someone—though I was able to shop the next day without any issues. Thank you for taking such good care of me.
