Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 45Page Number

Although it was my first stay, I was instantly captivated by the beauty of the property and its exceptional cleanliness. The location from our room was perfect, and the in-room hot spring—always ready to use without adding heat or water—was truly soothing. This time I stayed while hosting guests from the United States, and I was deeply impressed by the staff’s hospitality. Even though we arrived late for dinner, they welcomed us warmly without a hint of displeasure. What surprised me even more was that they quickly translated and printed an English menu on the spot. My companion was equally moved. They also kindly accommodated our train schedule by moving breakfast 15 minutes earlier, showing thoughtful flexibility that truly considered our situation. This is a wonderful ryotei that genuinely makes you feel glad you stayed—one you’ll want to brag about. Next time, I will definitely bring my family!

This is my favorite Hotel, which I visit about twice a year. You can relax and unwind surrounded by nature. At night, if the sky is clear, you can see countless stars from the parking lot. The Onsen also has an open-air bath, and it was wonderfully relaxing. Meals are served buffet-style, and dinner in particular features many local ingredients. I enjoyed freshly prepared roast beef and tempura. The cold noodles were also delicious; I asked where they were sold and stopped by on the way home to buy some. For breakfast, I especially loved the yogurt—when I learned it was from a farm in Iwate, I visited there as well. Although our Room was assigned for us, it was spacious, which was great since we had a lot of luggage this time. Overall, it exceeded my expectations for the price.

Since there were no vacancies at other facilities, I made a Reservation. I wasn’t expecting much because it wasn’t a high-priced property, but the meals and the view from the restaurant were wonderful. However, the coffee machine used powdered milk and it tasted terrible. I’d like to visit again if I have the chance.

We stayed here for a mother-and-daughters trip (three of us) to celebrate my mother’s 90th birthday. We were also impressed that three beds were set up side by side. All the in-Room meals were delicious, and we enjoyed the dishes inspired by Mt. Fuji throughout—beautiful to look at as well. We could even see Mt. Fuji from the open-air bath in our Room, and we had a truly luxurious time. They also gave my mother a gift for her 90th birthday, which deeply moved us. My mother was thrilled, and it became a wonderful, unforgettable celebration.

We stayed here for our honeymoon. Both the staff member who guided us at check-in and the person in charge of dinner struck the perfect balance—warm, attentive, and sincerely welcoming—so we were able to relax and enjoy our stay. We splurged on the Tajima beef kaiseki. There were no vacancies for a second-floor Room, so we were a little worried about dining in the restaurant, but it turned out to be a completely private room and felt very special. We were also happy that the menu had our new last name and the date printed on it, so we took it home as a keepsake. *Sound does carry quite a bit, so when the guests next door spoke loudly at times, their conversation drowned ours out (in a funny way). More than satisfied. We were absolutely stuffed. I was looking forward to late-night soba, but there was no room left—if anything, we went back to our Room and fell asleep right away. Such a shame. Both dinner and breakfast offered choices, which added an extra special touch and made us very happy. The rice at breakfast was so good—I couldn’t finish it all and wished I could have made onigiri… It had been ages since I slept on a futon mattress, so I was nervous, but there was a mattress underneath and it felt just like sleeping in a bed. And the amenities were Sekkisei… In the women’s large public bath there was also an assortment of shampoos to choose from—even ReFa shampoo was available. I usually bring my own because I worry whether provided products will suit my skin or hair, but this time I didn’t need any skincare at all… which almost made me regret packing mine. This Accommodation left us with “the best kind of regret”—the kind that makes you want to come back. Next time we’re celebrating an anniversary or another special occasion, we’d love to upgrade to a higher-grade Room. Thank you again—we hope to return.

I was able to relax deeply in the Japanese-style Room. The indoor bath and open-air bath in the Room were wonderful, the meals were delicious, and the staff were very pleasant—overall, it was a highly satisfying stay.

Some guests may find it unusual that you pass in front of the front desk on the way, but I felt it actually adds a sense of security. I couldn’t get a room in the area where I usually stay, so I came to Toyohashi, and I found the atmosphere and clientele here better than at Dormy Inn Fushimi, which made my stay feel more comfortable and safe. I’d like to stay here again on my next business trip. Thank you very much.

It was very clean and comfortable. I’d like to stay again.

We stayed here with our daughters during summer vacation. Despite the reasonable price, the hospitality was outstanding. Dinner was served in a private room so we could relax, and the large public bath was clean and truly soothing. Breakfast was a buffet, and everything we tried was delicious—such a fun experience. This is an Accommodation that makes you want to come back regularly to unwind.

The views, the people, the space, and the food—everything was exceptional. I felt instantly healed rather than gradually. The sunset was beautiful, and every staff member’s hospitality was heartfelt. The cooking that brought out the best in each ingredient was outstanding, as were the delicious broths. Not only dinner but also breakfast was truly elaborate and carefully prepared. I could go on forever, but in short, it was wonderful. Thank you very much.

We stayed for one night in early September. The weather was cool, with cicadas still singing, and morning and evening walks were very pleasant. The baths were both relaxing; I personally preferred the Kura bath. We also used the foot massage machine after bathing. Dinner was an all-you-can-eat mochi pork shabu-shabu course, and even with the kaiseki dishes included, it was so delicious that we went back for seconds! The slices were thick yet tender, with no odor—truly excellent. The dining Room was a private Room, so we could enjoy our meal calmly together with our dog. Our dog’s meals also looked delicious—honestly, I felt like I could have eaten them myself. Breakfast was of course great as well, with plenty of side dishes that paired perfectly with rice. Refills were available, and we were very satisfied. After breakfast we settled the bill, and checkout was smooth. The Japanese-style Room was on the smaller side but comfortably cozy. I usually prefer beds, but I slept well on the futon too. The door used an auto-lock keypad system, which made it easy not having to manage a key—very convenient. If we have another chance, we would definitely like to stay again. Thank you very much.

We stayed as a couple in our early senior years. We thoroughly enjoyed both dinner and breakfast. At dinner, the eel (especially the skin), the ayu wrapped and baked in brick pastry, and the low-temperature cooked fillet were particularly memorable. At breakfast, the galette was especially delicious. The portions were just right, and even my wife—who usually cannot finish everything—managed to eat all the way through to the final warabi mochi this time. Our Room was a semi-suite with plenty of space, and we spent a very comfortable stay. My wife especially loved the refined beauty of the bath walls and the tatami flooring in the toilet area. However, we did notice some noise from the air conditioning (it seemed to be central heating rather than an in-room unit) during the night. A river with quite a strong flow ran beneath the window of one of your smoking rooms. Next time, we would love to stay in a riverside Room. The day after our stay, we headed to Senjojiki Cirque, and it was very helpful that you allowed us to leave our car parked in your Accommodation’s parking lot. Thank you very much.

We were able to spend a truly relaxing time. After check-in, knowing rain was forecast for the next day, we quickly took a walk around the garden. We imagined how much more beautiful the pond’s colors must be on a sunny day. The meals paired perfectly with sake and wine, and my partner—who doesn’t drink alcohol—was also very satisfied with the dishes made generously with local ingredients. The Niida Honke sake tasting was delicious. My partner said the herbal tea and roasted green tea were also excellent. We became completely hooked on how tasty the mountain salt was. Breakfast offered a variety of ingredients, which we really enjoyed as well. The Scandinavian-style interior and calm lighting helped us unwind, and we slept soundly at night. We were happy to be able to use the lounge after check-in—it gave us time to leisurely plan our upcoming travels. We’d love to visit again on a sunny day in a different season.

This was my first time staying here. Many of the staff are young and from overseas, but their Japanese is excellent, and I was amazed by how exceptionally polite and attentive their service was. Above all, you can really feel how hard they work. I had a very pleasant stay. In particular, the young woman who explained the meals and the man at the front desk during check-in—both were foreign nationals—and they were simply outstanding. The Ryokan itself has a wonderful traditional atmosphere, and I was very satisfied. We stayed to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday, and she was delighted as well! Next time, I’d like to bring my daughter.

We drove from Chiba. As an older couple, we chose this Onsen Accommodation so we could leave at a relaxed pace and truly unwind. It was a wonderful place that exceeded our expectations. The detached Room, the bath, and the meals were all outstanding. The meal included an impressive number of dishes, but each portion was thoughtfully sized, so even we were able to finish everything. The next day, we enjoyed the gentle Onsen three times and headed home unhurriedly. This is now on our list of places we definitely want to visit again.

My first time back in Kinosaki Onsen in decades. I wasn’t sure which Accommodation to choose, but “Away from the hustle and bustle” was the deciding factor. Just as the Reviews said, the food was unquestionably delicious, and the tableware and presentation were wonderful. What impressed me most was the attendant who looked after us for both days without change. She always greeted us with a smile, our conversations flowed easily, and she made us feel at home. She also answered our questions about the onsen town accurately, so we could enjoy visiting the public baths with peace of mind. Because we had to leave early for our own reasons, they prepared breakfast outside regular hours, and even drove us to the bus stop in front of Kinosaki Onsen Station. With everyone’s help at this Ryokan, we were able to start our journey home safely. I can’t thank them enough—thank you very much. Her wonderful smile is my best memory from this trip. I would love to stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed the silky Yuda Onsen. We also chose the BBQ for dinner, and everything was delicious (beef, pork, chicken, vegetables, etc.). The Matsuri sauce in particular was outstanding—we bought three bottles to take home. We stayed in a Japanese-style room; it was spacious, and the futon was comfortable, so we had a very pleasant stay. Thank you very much.

Both the Room and the Onsen are wonderful, and the staff and the proprietress are warm and welcoming—every visit is truly relaxing.

This Accommodation is highly recommended. The Room was clean and comfortable, and with the fresh greenery of the season, the semi-open-air Onsen was absolutely wonderful. The front desk staff were also very helpful, and we had a pleasant stay. The location and surroundings are excellent. It’s an Accommodation I’d love to visit again. Next time, I plan to choose the largest Room with an open-air bath.

It was a Plan with meals included. We enjoyed a course dinner at a nearby sister Accommodation. While many dog-friendly Accommodations have disappointing food, this trip let us enjoy delicious cuisine and an Onsen. They also lent us items like dog shampoo, so both our family and our dog could fully enjoy the meals and the Onsen. This is an Accommodation we would love to visit again. Next time, we’d like to enjoy dining at Pelo.
