Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 521Page Number

A favorite place we keep returning to as a family. It feels like going back home. We love the food and the warm personalities of the owners. This time, we stayed to celebrate our second daughter's birthday, and the owner kindly joined in the celebration, which made our daughter very happy. Thank you so much, and we will visit again!

We stayed in both the West and East rooms as a three-generation family. The historic building has been renovated with modern facilities, making it very comfortable. Thanks to the detailed guidance provided the day before, we were able to arrive without any worries. This was especially helpful as there is a parking lot just before the entrance, which can be tricky to find due to the busy pathway filled with people. My parents, who are nearly 80 years old, used handrails for going up and down the stairs but mentioned they had a comfortable stay. The staff were all very kind and accommodating; they helped us by making a reservation at "Bone-in Chicken Tanaka" for dinner upon request and provided information about taking a taxi to Daimon when we expressed concerns about my parents' mobility. Thanks to their support, my parents could visit Hongu Shrine while we made it all the way to Okunoin Temple—a truly memorable experience!

A fully equipped kitchen is available, making it easy to cook and enjoy a comfortable stay.

I’m always satisfied with the seasonal dishes. The sweetfish sashimi and salt-grilled sweetfish were delicious. The charcoal-grilled Omi beef I love was also outstanding. For breakfast, the proprietress’s homemade mountain-vegetable side dishes were perfect with the tasty rice. A quiet Accommodation where you can truly escape from everyday life.

A cozy, home-like Accommodation that feels like returning to a countryside house. The renovated Room was clean and relaxing. The homemade breakfast was delicious as well. It’s an Accommodation I’d love to stay at again.

I stayed here last year and had such a great experience that I decided to return. The room was warm and cozy with a wood stove and underfloor heating. The hinoki bath was also very pleasant to use. Although I didn’t use the music space on the second floor, it might be nice to bring your favorite CDs. The bed was comfortable, allowing for a restful sleep. The meals here are exceptional; they are prepared thoughtfully, timed perfectly as guests finish their previous course. The chef is outstanding, offering dishes comparable to those at high-end ryokans or luxury restaurants in Sapporo—every dish was impressive and delightful. Breakfast isn’t a buffet but features many handmade items that you can enjoy while admiring the view, which is wonderful. If I had to mention something minor, it would be that there were only dental floss picks in the room without toothbrushes provided, and the outdoor bath faucet was completely frozen—even pouring hot water didn’t help—which was unfortunate. Other than that, this accommodation exceeded expectations in every way! It’s definitely a place I want to visit again next time!

Recommended for travelers who want to enjoy sightseeing in Okinawa and just need a place to stay. It seems to have been converted from a love hotel, but the Room is spacious and there are no issues if you only need it for an overnight stay. Having your own transportation, such as a rental car, is essential. Located about 5–10 minutes from AEON Mall Rycom. When I visited this year, a washlet toilet seat had been added, which I don’t think was there last year.

This was our first stay, and the bathroom, toilet, and kitchen were all new, easy to use, and very comfortable. Dinner while watching the sunset was the best.

The bath was a relaxing jacuzzi. The view from the Room was also wonderful—since it was a corner Room, two sides were floor-to-ceiling glass, giving a great harbor-town atmosphere.

Five of us stayed here while walking the Nakasendo from Tokyo Nihonbashi. We washed our clothes in the washing machine and enjoyed nicely chilled drinks. Since it was during extreme heat, the thoughtful care for our tired bodies truly meant a lot. The basic seasonings were all provided. We couldn’t find a supermarket nearby, so we ate out at nearby restaurants, but with a larger group it would be fun to cook for ourselves. It’s right by the station, so access was excellent. The Room was spacious, and the next morning we all watched the FIFA World Cup final together on a large screen. It was so comfortable it felt like home, and I accidentally left my mobile battery pack behind while it was charging. When I called, they promptly mailed it back to my home. I’m sorry for the trouble. I’d love to stay again when I have the chance.

We stayed with two children. Toys were prepared in our Room, and the kids had a great time. The temperature of the large public bath at the Accommodation was just right, and even infants could bathe without any issues. We booked the No Meals Included Plan, but we had dinner at the dining area on the second floor. High chairs for children were available, and there were plenty of menu options that kids could enjoy. The staff at the Accommodation were very warm and welcoming, which we truly appreciated.

I was looking for a pet-friendly Plan for my first glamping experience and happened to find Gran Apple Kobe Sanda. Since I live next door in Takarazuka City, I didn’t go in with very high expectations, but… I was extremely satisfied—not only with the Facility, but also with the hospitality and service. It easily exceeded my expectations, and we enjoyed ourselves to the fullest! The space for dogs was also spacious and a big hit with my family, and we’re already talking about coming back in another season. That said, the Wi-Fi felt quite unreliable, repeatedly connecting and disconnecting. It was a bit stressful when trying to upload photos or videos, so I’d really appreciate it if this could be improved. Overall, my satisfaction level is very high. Honestly, I feel lucky to have found such a great nearby spot where you can enjoy an extraordinary getaway!

This charming traditional house features Japanese-style Rooms that are thoroughly cleaned and extremely comfortable. The Room is spacious and easy to use. Bath towels, face towels, toothbrushes, cups, and even yukata are provided. The shower water pressure is strong. If I had one small luxury request, the showerhead spray holes are a bit fine and can feel slightly sharp.

On the third day of my solo trip from Tokyo to Saga, I stayed at Shunkeiya in Takeo Onsen. It is located right next to the Romon Gate, and the building is very clean and beautiful. They prepared a 14-tatami corner Room for me even though I was traveling alone, and dinner served in the Room was wonderfully varied and absolutely delicious. The attendant assigned to my Room was also excellent, and the free-flowing natural hot spring water was superb. Even though I was on my own, they provided Shuttle Service to the station—an Accommodation where everything was thoughtfully taken care of. I love traveling and have stayed in many places, but considering how reasonably priced it is, I was satisfied with everything here. If it were in the Kanto area, I could visit often—it's a shame it’s not. Next time, I would definitely like to come again with my wife. This first solo trip became a truly wonderful memory for me.

Good Points - Spacious public bath with sauna available - Staff provides polite and attentive service - Large collection of manga (One Piece and Yowamushi Pedal were enjoyable) - Relaxation space available for everyone to gather - Laundry facilities included Concerns - Location is hard to find (there is a sign along the road, but it’s in hiragana, while the hotel’s front sign is in English, which caused me to pass by once) - The room was clean but had a distinctive smell that was slightly bothersome - Convenience store is a bit far It seems like this hotel might have been renovated from a long-term stay rehabilitation facility. For Multiple Night Stays or repeat visits, it could be a good option.

I stayed here for the first time a year ago and was so satisfied with the all-you-can-eat Genghis Khan BBQ that I came back again this year. With that much food and access to the Onsen, I think it’s very reasonably priced. I don’t feel relaxed when there are too many people, so the number of Rooms was just right, and I was able to unwind and truly relax. This is an Onsen Accommodation I want to visit again and again!! I’ll definitely be back!

It seems to have been recently renovated, and it feels clean and welcoming. The location is by the sea, and it’s refreshing to enjoy an ocean view from the window. Highly recommended.

As it’s a new Hotel, everything is spotless. I have lower back pain, but the mattress firmness was perfectly comfortable. The Room key uses a PIN code system, so I recommend taking a photo of the number you receive at check-in on your phone—it will be useful later. At the bar counter there were Black Nikka, Kurokirishima, Nanawarai, and more, so I had a glass of Kurokirishima. I think it’s a good idea to buy cup ice and soda water as well. There didn’t seem to be any restaurants within walking distance; however, there is a drugstore and a supermarket across the street. The only disappointment was that at 6:40 there was an extremely long line for breakfast! We were told we could take it back to the Room to eat, but due to my son’s event we gave up waiting and checked out. That’s why I deducted one star. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

My wife, my parents, and our dog stayed here. Some pet-friendly Hotels have lots of restrictions in the shared areas (like requiring a crate), so this time we chose this entire house rental. The Facility was clean and had a nice atmosphere, and the bath was very large for one person—very satisfying. There aren’t many items left out, so we felt at ease knowing our dog wouldn’t chew on anything. We didn’t include meals, but we ate out near Yubatake for dinner. For breakfast, we had bought various local foods at roadside stations during our trip, and we enjoyed them together as a family. There were hardly any people around the building, and it was wonderfully quiet—just the sound of insects—so we could relax. I also thought it would be a great place to bring friends visiting from overseas. Also, when we went to pick up the key, the foreign staff member was very kind and helpful. Thank you very much.

I stayed here during the hot season in August! When I arrived at the Room, the air conditioner was already on, which was a pleasant surprise and made it nice and cool. The bathroom and toilet were also very clean, so I felt comfortable using them. If I had to mention one thing, it would have been nice to have disposable indoor slippers like those often provided at a Hotel. I don’t really like walking around barefoot. Also, having a vacuum cleaner or a lint roller would make it easier to clean up fallen hair, so I’d appreciate it if those were available. Since the second floor gets hot at night, I recommend using a fan or ceiling fan and airing it out early to get better airflow.
