Nationwide × Highly rated Hotel·Ryokan for Onsen and bath - 59Page Number

I stayed at this hotel to attend the Kirin Cup Final. In the past, I chose hotels near Tokyo Station, but after the match the area was extremely crowded and it was very difficult to get back to my hotel. This time, to avoid that hassle, I booked this hotel instead and had a very comfortable stay. The front desk staff who assisted when I left my luggage, as well as those who helped me at check-in and check-out, were wonderfully attentive and truly impressed me. Breakfast was buffet-style. I’m not usually a fan of buffets so I don’t eat much, but this restaurant had a great variety of options, and both the omelet and toast were delicious. When attending events at Japan National Stadium, I would love to stay here again.

We also used the lounge at the sister Hotel, and both lounges were great. At the station-front location, the salted squid and plum wine were delicious, and we went back for seconds several times. They also gave us a map showing where the nearest bus stop to the sister Hotel is and a bus timetable, which made it easy to use. There were many restaurants around the station-front location that all looked good, so it was hard to choose. The ramen shop next door always had a line as well, so I’d like to try it next time. The Room was spacious enough for three adults including my elderly mother to relax comfortably. We could only stay one night this time, but if we have another chance, we’d like to stay two nights. Since it was a hot season, it was also nice that there was Häagen-Dazs ice cream in the freezer. It was a bit disappointing that the washroom lighting felt slightly dim, but overall we were satisfied.

I have stayed at Inaka many times and found it reasonably priced, and once again I was very satisfied. My mother has difficulty walking long distances, so they arranged a room near the elevator and a table close to the buffet area, making it easy for her to get her food. The staff even remembered us and were kind and attentive—truly a wonderful inn. The meals featured local ingredients, with a Hokuriku-themed fair, and everything was delicious. The hot spring was at just the right temperature and left my skin feeling moisturized. I’ve stayed in many places, but I think Inaka is the best of them all.

I stayed here for work near Tamachi. The walls are thick, so it’s quiet and clean, and the bathroom and toilet are separate. Complimentary mineral water is also provided, making this a highly recommended Hotel for business use. The Room is small and the view from the window isn’t great, but that’s to be expected for a Business Hotel in central Tokyo, so I deducted one star.

My wife, daughter, and I stayed here together. First of all, the staff service was outstanding. From the team member who picked us up from the parking lot, to the one who escorted us to our room, to the person in charge of our meals—and even those we passed in the hallway—everyone had such warm smiles and made us feel truly welcome. The moment we entered our room, it felt impeccably clean (it even had an AirDog air purifier!). The large windows made it bright and open, the amenities were plentiful, and both the bed and futon were so comfortable that we slept soundly. The in-house guide on the provided iPad was also extremely convenient. We enjoyed our meals in a building with 100 years of history. Being able to dine in such a historic setting alone felt like a special experience. As for the food itself—I’m no gourmet—but it was simply delicious. You could really sense the chef’s attention to detail, and every dish was beautiful as well as enjoyable to eat. At breakfast there was even a small Nambu ironware teapot used as a chopstick rest; I ended up buying one along with chopsticks as souvenirs. The bath temperature was perfect for me and very relaxing. Finally—and what impressed me most—was how every single staff member seemed united in their focus on making guests happy. I’ve experienced great service at many places, but there’s usually variation from person to person. Here, that inconsistency was almost nonexistent; nothing felt scripted—just genuinely natural hospitality. I would absolutely love to stay again next time.

For that price, being able to fully enjoy Dormy Inn’s meals and sauna is great value for money.

I originally chose to stay at Yunoyama Onsen because I wanted to relax in the Onsen. The Onsen was wonderfully soothing, and I enjoyed it many times, but to be honest, the meals were even better than expected—exceptionally delicious, with thoughtful touches in each ingredient—so I was just as satisfied, if not more so, than with the Onsen. The welcome drink and shiratama sweets, as well as the sweets café after dinner, were not the kind of “just for show” desserts you often find; they were genuinely delicious sweets, which was another highlight. Since it was summer vacation there were many families with children, and seeing them enjoy the festival games brought back memories of letting my own child play at a similar festival at Ogoto Onsen years ago. The Room was clean, and above all, the hospitality of all the staff was outstanding. I was especially impressed by how hard one international staff member working as a trainee was trying. I would definitely like to stay again—thank you very much.

We stayed here for a family trip. The meals were delicious, and since we had a private dining room, our family could relax and enjoy dinner. The Onsen was wonderful too! There was a mascot character called Ochun, and it was so cute—we bought a towel to take home! We were also happy to run into the costumed Ochun a few times. If we travel to Gunma again, we would definitely love to stay here again!! Thank you very much!

No wonder so many guests rate this Ryokan so highly!! The staff were simply wonderful, and I was impressed from the very start of the morning. Although the staff member assisting us was not Japanese, the explanations were clear and made us excited for the day right away. The half-buffet offered nothing but delicious choices, and we loved being able to grill items over charcoal at our own table. We were completely satisfied from breakfast onward! Even after checkout, they saw us off with warm smiles—this has become one of the Ryokan we definitely want to visit again. Thank you to all the staff.

I felt this was a historic and luxurious Ryokan. I was especially amazed by the splendid, ornate convention hall where we had dinner and breakfast. The building itself feels like it has withstood many years of harsh weather, yet you can still sense its former grandeur. From the Room, we could enjoy a panoramic view of the vast Pacific’s rough waves and the cliffs of the Izura Coast that seem to carry thousands of years of history—it truly made me glad we came. That said, there were a few points that concerned us. The Room is based on a traditional Japanese-style layout with thoughtful touches for usability, but there is a large step between the tatami area and the space with the sofa set, so those like us with knee and lower-back issues need to be very careful. Also, because the entire Room temperature is controlled by an air conditioner in the tatami room, it felt difficult to adjust the temperature in the bedroom farther away. While many Ryokan have become increasingly digital recently, there were no complicated digital devices here, which actually made things easier for us to use. When we bought souvenirs at the shop and asked for shipping delivery service , we were told that shipping fees could only be paid in cash and that charging it to our Room was not accepted. We weren’t carrying cash, so we had no choice but to take everything home ourselves. There seemed to be various explanations given, but since this is something commonly available elsewhere, I hope you will consider improving this point. We really loved the meals. Many locally sourced ingredients were used, and every dish was deliciously prepared. In particular, the grilled dancing abalone was outstanding in freshness, size,, tenderness,,and flavor—everything about it was excellent.. The simmered red fish and shabu-shabu hot pot also had slightly richer,, sweeter seasoning that perfectly matched my taste.. I also enjoyed their unique breakfast dish where grilled mackerel is warmed in a small pot before eating.. The timing of serving each course was excellent as well,, allowing us to savor every dish one by one.. For access to public bath , walking down long covered wooden corridor from lobby lined on both sides with large glass windows felt open airy enjoyable . It was great bath experience . I don’t think there were any guest survey forms provided , but I thought it impressive how hostess visited tables during dinner greeting guests listening opinions naturally through conversation . All staff left good impression . The driver who took us station on departure day drove safely which appreciated . Thank you very much for your hospitality .

To wrap up our 4-night, 5-day trip to Toyama, we stayed at Nono, conveniently located near the station. This was our second stay, and with its great location, clean tatami-style rooms, delicious breakfast, relaxing baths, and spacious rooms, it offers excellent value for money. We would love to stay here again.

I often stay here the night before a flight because it’s close to the airport. It’s clean, has a large public bath, and is very relaxing. I honestly wish I could stay a little longer. This time, there were also complimentary drinks, so I enjoyed some quiet time alone in the lounge. I’d like to stay here again.

This was our first trip traveling with our dog. The Room was clean, the amenities were well stocked, and the food was very delicious. The staff were also kind to our dog. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.

We stayed in a detached annex. The website said “indoor bath type,” and there were no photos, so we expected a regular bath—but it pleasantly exceeded our expectations. I really think you should post photos of that bath on the website! We originally planned to use the open-air bath, but ended up using the in-room bath the whole time (lol). Also, I believe it was fully booked, yet while we were in our Room we couldn’t hear any voices or noise from other guests at all. You can definitely feel its age, but as a Ryokan it had everything we were looking for. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and very generous in portion size. In particular, I made a Reservation for the half steamed chicken at dinner and it was quite an experience (in a good way). From the website photos I (wrongly) imagined a bone-in thigh, but it truly was “half.” It was very tasty, but you’ll need to save room in your stomach (especially women). When we asked, they even prepared the leftover steamed chicken so we could eat it in our Room! All staff members were wonderful—everyone was pleasant and welcoming. This quiet mountain Ryokan fulfilled everything I wanted: simply enjoying the Onsen and great food. Thank you very much.

Because our Room was on the 2nd floor, we were disappointed that we couldn’t see the koi in the pond. My wife is pregnant, and it was difficult because it was a long walk to the elevator. Not only in the garden but also around the open-air bath in the large public bath, many decorative stones were placed throughout, which made it very relaxing. I thought it was very rare to have an outdoor cold plunge bath for the sauna. Next time, we’d like to stay at the Ryokan longer and relax in the open-air bath.

I have stayed here before. The Accommodation, Onsen, and other Facilities are clean, and it is conveniently located near the main road.

The Room was very clean and spacious. The view from the balcony was great, and I was impressed by how spotless it was—clean enough to lie down on. The staff were cheerful and kind. I would definitely stay here again!

I think this Accommodation is perfect for a stay during the Gion Festival. I also enjoyed both the Italian and Japanese cuisine. Watching a maiko dance during my stay became a wonderful memory—thank you very much. It seems that, in exchange for opening the lounge, the drinks in the refrigerator have been limited to mineral water only. However, because the lounge has short opening hours, it was not very convenient. I usually stay at Hiramatsu-level Accommodations, but this was the first time I had to buy sparkling mineral water at a convenience store during my stay. That said, it is still a great Accommodation, and I would be happy to stay again.

Thank you very much for taking care of us during our 3-day, 2-night stay. We visited to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, and thanks to your thoughtful hospitality, we were able to enjoy a relaxing and healing trip. Thank you. At the beach below the Hotel, it was quite windy due to a low-pressure system, but we were still able to snorkel and see some fish. The Room was just the right size, and we could relax comfortably. We also enjoyed the private open-air bath on the 5th floor without worrying about time, which made for a very restful experience. The meals were delicious from the jimami potage onward. Breakfast was also just the right amount and very enjoyable. It felt like there were more Western guests than we expected. We heard that an annex is scheduled to be completed next year, so we are really looking forward to it. We would love to stay with you again next time.

As usual, I stayed here with my mother. It was very helpful that we didn’t have to walk much inside the Accommodation, and could use the elevator to get to the large public bath, dining room, and lounge. The interior has a calming feel, and the Room was comfortable to spend time in. The food was delicious; the buffet had a good selection without being overwhelming, and the freshly made tempura was excellent. It wasn’t too large, which made it easy for my mother as well. Since we had a long stay until 1:00 PM, we were truly able to relax. I’d love to visit again.
