Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 430Page Number

On Nokonoshima, we took a free bus to the beach and enjoyed swimming. Afterward, we told the reception that we were staying at Villa Sakimori, and they provided a free Shuttle Service for us. They also answered our questions by email in advance, so we felt comfortable using the service on the day. The Room was very clean and well maintained. The food was delicious, the service was pleasant, and it was an Accommodation we would like to visit again. However, since it is surrounded by nature, those who dislike insects should be aware.

This was our third stay. Once again, both our dog and we were very satisfied. The owner is friendly, and you can really feel their love for dogs. Our dog happily ran around, got completely worn out in the pool, and slept soundly at night zzz. We enjoyed plenty of delicious food, ended up completely full, and slept soundly too zzz. (Everything is tasty, but we especially loved the breakfast and the soup.) This Accommodation is highly recommended for first-time stays with a dog or for families. Next time, we’d like to come with my parents.

Although the building is old, the interior has been thoughtfully renovated and is very comfortable! We stayed as a family of four, and both the bathroom and toilet were spotless, and the futons were fluffy! Since it’s right in front of the station, getting out and about was easy—we were really happy. The parking lot is also spacious. We come to Kazuno City every year, so we’ll stay here again.

The biggest appeal is being able to enjoy the free-flowing Onsen from the source almost all day, except for a short cleaning period in the morning. It’s also popular with locals, showing that it’s a well-loved Onsen in the community. The Room is clean and not particularly spacious or fancy, but it has everything you need—an ideal Accommodation if you’re staying mainly to enjoy the Onsen. There aren’t many dining options nearby, so be sure to buy food at a supermarket or drive to a restaurant; otherwise, you may have trouble finding something to eat.

This was my first time staying here, and thank you very much for your thoughtful care in every detail. The Room was very clean, and I felt comfortable throughout my stay. It was so pleasant that I naturally felt like, “I should leave it clean when I go.” Thanks to you, I was able to refresh both body and mind, and I left feeling truly energized. Thank you for such a wonderful time. I would love to stay again next time, and I look forward to it.

The Facility isn’t particularly new, but it has two large public baths and was very comfortable. The Room our family stayed in was quite spacious, and the kids were thrilled. There is no toilet in the Room, but it was just outside and very close. Since it’s not an in-room toilet, we can’t bring a towel every time, so it would be helpful if disposable paper towels for drying hands were available in the restroom. One strange thing: the TV turned on several times even though we hadn’t touched the remote. When it suddenly turned on in the middle of the night while we were sleeping, it woke us up.

We stayed here for the second night of our two-night Onsen tour. It’s a quiet Onsen where you can relax. The baths include a high-temperature bath with free-flowing natural spring water, a medium-temperature bath with added water, and a low-temperature bath suitable for long soaks; the high-temperature bath I used to be able to enter before was so hot this time that I could only dip my feet in. The wooden plank flooring in the bathing area is also nice. The meals after bathing—both dinner and breakfast—were well seasoned and served in just the right portions. Several resident cats were around, including newborn kittens that licked my finger without any hesitation—they were adorable.

This Hotel offers beautiful ocean views from the Room, and I had looked forward to staying here every year. However, for the past few years, Accommodation operations were suspended due to rebranding, and I had been eagerly awaiting their return. I was worried it might become focused solely on weddings, but I was relieved to find that they are providing the same services as before. Lunch service and the online shop are still on hold, but I would be happy if things could gradually return to how they used to be. The view of the sea remains just as beautiful, and with great weather we were able to enjoy sunsets, sunrises, and even a starry sky—making it a wonderful 2-night, 3-day trip. I would love to stay again next year.

Regardless of whether you’re vegan or not, everything served was incredibly delicious, and I felt soothed from the very first bite. It’s the kind of flavor that makes you understand what “deeply nourishing” really means. The natural lavender herbal bath in the Room was wonderfully calming—just as comforting as an Onsen. The peaceful atmosphere was lovely; I wished I could have stayed longer. Thanks to the owners’ warm personalities, their natural, unpretentious hospitality felt like the very best kind of service.

We enjoyed everything in line with the concept: nature, architecture, interior design, and the slow passage of time.

I’ve stayed at several Accommodations that welcome dogs, but this was the first place where I never once felt restricted “because we have a dog.” Surrounded by nature, it’s a truly soothing space for both people and dogs. I was amazed by the huge 1,200-tsubo lawn garden and even a pool where people can swim too. I was genuinely happy to be able to relax and let my dog roam freely. And I was surprised to be able to enjoy an Onsen in Chiba. What’s more, our Room had a luxurious open-air bath carved from a massive stone! Being able to enjoy the Onsen at any time without worrying about others was the best. Another great point for us was having a two-bedroom layout—an absolute must for our family. I never imagined traveling with our dog could be this comfortable, free, and luxurious… It truly was an amazing time. A wonderful Accommodation where both dogs and people can forget everyday life and fully unwind—we’d love to visit again.

Stayed during a busy holiday period. It was likely fully booked and very busy, yet the staff provided excellent and attentive service. They kindly assisted with sightseeing advice and guidance. For dinner, we chose Izu beef and abalone as the main dishes. Although I usually prefer meat, the abalone with liver vinegar sauce was incredibly delicious! I’d love to have it again!! The staff also graciously accommodated our request to add an extra Izu beef steak—thank you for that. Of course, we also enjoyed the kinmedai (golden eye snapper) and spiny lobster; everything was delightful. Both dinner and breakfast were highly satisfying, with so many side dishes that it felt overwhelming in a good way! The private-use baths allowed us to relax at our own pace without any rush. This has become one of the ryokans I'd love to visit again!

Since around February this year, I’ve stayed here whenever I visit Kita-Karuizawa for work, and I’ve already returned for more than 10 nights. It’s a long-loved pension, so the building shows its age, but it’s kept very clean. Surrounded by beautiful trees, it feels like an especially perfect location in the coming season. The biggest highlight is the food. Even after staying many times, I can’t recall ever being served the same menu. The owner couple seem to thoughtfully create new dishes each time for repeat guests like me, and I truly appreciate their care. Not only do I look forward to every meal, but chatting with them after dinner has also become a wonderful travel memory. It’s located in Tsumagoi Village, but if you’re traveling to Karuizawa or Kusatsu Onsen, I highly recommend going a little further and staying at Motown. A pension I can wholeheartedly recommend!

We took a 3-night, 4-day trip to Oita with our 4-year-old daughter and stayed here in Yufuin on the final night. Since we had spent the previous two nights at a large Hotel in Beppu, we chose this place because we wanted to relax somewhere quiet in Yufuin. Each guest room is set apart like a separate annex, and the nostalgic atmosphere—like visiting a countryside grandparent’s home—was wonderfully calming. For our daughter, everything felt new and exciting since she doesn’t have things like shoji screens, sliding doors, or a kotatsu at home, and she really enjoyed it. The meals were beautifully presented and delicious, and the baths were not crowded, so we could fully enjoy the spacious open-air bath at our own pace. It was also great that even though it’s in such a convenient location with easy access to Yunotsubo Kaido just a short walk along the river, we could still stay in peace and quiet. I’m glad we were able to end our Oita trip at this Accommodation—it became a wonderful memory for us.

This was my first visit. It took about 2.5 hours by car from Osaka. As we approached the Onsen area, the roads became more mountainous, requiring some attention when passing other vehicles, but overall it was a pleasant drive. The side road leading to the accommodation was slightly narrow, but we arrived safely. The accommodation is surrounded by lush greenery and located along a river (mountain stream), offering a sense of being embraced by nature. The room was a detached unit with an open-air bath, where the faint scent of sulfur provided relaxation and eased our bodies. Dinner featured teppanyaki with premium Kumano beef as the main dish, which was absolutely delicious. Breakfast had just the right portions and was also very tasty. This is an ideal place to escape from daily life and comes highly recommended!

We stayed with our 2-year-old and 0-year-old, and it was very convenient with a spacious bathing area, availability of bouncers and Bumbo seats, as well as baby gates. The place was clean and comfortable. We would love to stay here again!

Staying in this renovated historic building was a truly unique experience that we don’t usually get to have. The thoughtful touches were wonderful, and the staff spoke to us kindly and warmly. Breakfast was also very delicious.

We stayed as a family, and the owner's warm hospitality was truly wonderful, making it a delightful stay for our children as well. The owner kindly played with the kids and gently taught them how to fish, showing great kindness. There is also a famous shop nearby selling Sata Andagi, which was delicious. However, the children were overjoyed and said that the handmade Sata Andagi from the owner's wife was "absolutely better!" The lagoon right in front offers an excellent location for kayaking. Unfortunately, due to wind conditions this time, we couldn't visit 17ND. We are determined to try again next time! We will definitely return!

Thank you once again for your warm hospitality. I truly appreciate the kindness and care extended to me. It feels like a second home. I look forward to visiting again. Best regards!

The location from the Room, the spaciousness of the bath, and the staff's hospitality were all excellent and very satisfying. I would love to use your services again in the coming years. Thank you very much.
