On my way back from a business trip to Morioka, I took the Kamaishi Expressway via Hanamaki, stopped by the Roadside Station at Kamaishi Sennintoge, and headed south. This was my first stay at Crown Hills Kamaishi. For a business trip with breakfast and a large public bath included, it was very reasonably priced. There is a concentrated dining area nearby, making it easy to find dinner, and this season there was also a summer night market event that I really enjoyed. The late-night Kamaishi ramen was delicious as well. The sea was rough this time due to the typhoon, but next time I’d like to stay again with my family during a season outside typhoon period. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

I chose this hotel for my concert trip because it was reasonably priced. The Room was more spacious than expected, and the framed Miró print (with a serial number) was lovely. Elevator access required key authorization, so security felt solid. The shampoo and other amenities were POLA—moisturizing and pleasant to use—and both mineral water and coffee were available freely (helpful for preventing heatstroke). Best of all was the welcoming staff’s smiles. I hope to stay again when I have the chance.

It was our first stay in a year, and we were accommodated in a spacious Room with new, clean tatami mats. We requested abalone as steak and spiny lobster grilled, and it was a very satisfying day. For breakfast, we enjoyed plenty of delicious Milky Queen rice and simmered sea bream bones before heading home. Thank you very much.

This was my fifth stay in Sakihana Onsen, but my first time staying at this Accommodation. The bath was small, but since it was a weekday and not crowded, it was more than sufficient. Everything was well cleaned and the service was excellent—worlds apart from the Accommodation I visited last month. The meals were also delicious. It was a shame that bathing hours were limited to 11:00 p.m., and only from 7:00 a.m. in the morning.

The staff service was excellent, and there were no particular issues with the in-room Facility. I had a very comfortable stay. One concern: I assumed the room door would close automatically when I went out, but it caught partway and ended up being left open while I was away. For the bathing Facility, it would be convenient if amenities such as toothbrushes and razors were available in the bathing area.

This was a two-night trip in Kanazawa. The Room was very spacious, and we were able to relax. Since it has a kitchen, we enjoyed doing some simple cooking. Having a washing machine was also convenient. There are two large pots in the kitchen; since some guests may stay in small groups, having smaller ones as well would make them easier to use. The price felt reasonable. However, it was a bit inconvenient that we had to go to Hotel Kanazawa for check-in. If this could be improved, I think it would be a very user-friendly Hotel. There are plenty of nearby coin-operated parking lots, so we were able to park without getting lost.

It felt like the Accommodation had been upgraded compared to my previous stay. The staff came out from the front desk to welcome us, carried our luggage, and created a bright, courteous atmosphere. We had our dog with us, and it was very reassuring. I also accidentally forgot our dog’s bowl, but you kindly lent us a replacement—thank you so much. Next time I’ll bring it. The squid sashimi and tempura we’d been looking forward to were wonderful, and the abalone shabu-shabu I tried for the first time was excellent. The other dishes were also delicious. It’s such a comfortable Accommodation, and even without traveling far, I don’t think there’s another place in Fukuoka Prefecture that offers this level of attentive service. The price is also very reasonable, so it feels like a great deal. I filmed the squid sashimi as a video, but unfortunately couldn’t upload it. Highly recommended.

To sum it up: absolutely worth the trip, even if it’s far! I was truly satisfied for the first time in a while!! From the initial phone call, the staff were kind and courteous. Even just looking at the photos of members of the Imperial Family, I could enjoy an atmosphere that reflects many years of history. Only the restrooms have been updated to a clean, modern style, which made me feel how much care and effort has gone into maintaining this place. The Room reminded me of my grandmother’s home in the early Showa era—so nostalgic. It’s perfect for simply relaxing and unwinding. The Onsen is a hot, free-flowing natural spring! The volume of water is incredible, and after soaking slowly, my body stayed warm for ages—spa therapy complete. I regretted not staying at least two nights to visit all the nearby public baths. I really hope you will aim to become an Accommodation where small dogs are welcome. Thank you very much. I’ll be back when I want to relax again.

It is in a very convenient location near Takayama Jinya, and free parking is also available. As it was right in the middle of the Hina Matsuri season, both the Hotel and the main building were decorated with many hina dolls, from old ones such as Goten-bina and Kyoho-bina to newly made dolls, which we really enjoyed. The seasonal kaiseki dinner was delicious, and even the tableware was thoroughly themed around hina dolls, making it an amazing experience. The Room had a river view that let us feel the atmosphere of the old townscape, and the Onsen bath was very relaxing. The staff were kind as well—this is a Ryokan I would recommend.

Time seems to slow down during your stay, making it a soothing and relaxing place. A small number of Rooms are scattered throughout a spacious forest, letting you escape the noise of everyday life. The staff also speak in a calm, unhurried manner, which creates a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The Room is exceptionally well equipped, with an open-air bath, an indoor bath, a sauna, and even a footbath area. The meals are also excellent—among the best I have experienced at any Accommodation. I would definitely like to stay here again.

No words needed. We had such a truly wonderful time. A perfect summer moment. Thank you again for the lovely memories.

On October 29th, I stayed with my partner. As a Kyoto resident, I have a deep appreciation for Japanese culture, and without a doubt, Manyotei is the best accommodation. We set an average budget of 50,000 yen for two people per night with two meals included. We travel six times a year for a total of 12 nights annually and have continued this tradition into our 74th year. Looking back on our experiences, this accommodation definitely ranks in the top three. The reasons are: 1. The dinner and breakfast are exceptionally delicious. 2. The natural Onsen springs at pH 2.1 and nearly 70°C (the morning open-air bath is especially popular). 3. Breakfast starts leisurely at 7:30 AM due to its proximity to Mount Bandai's surroundings. 4. All guests were Japanese (perhaps because it’s a Ryokan or by coincidence?). 5. The staff's hospitality was impeccable. This is truly one of those rare accommodations we want to visit again! Highly recommended for retired couples traveling together. Manyotei is an ideal choice for those who enjoy Nyuto Onsen or Myounoyu Onsen. We will definitely return—thank you very much!

This Accommodation was even more comfortable than we expected for a trip with three adult female friends. What made us happiest was that each of the three of us could have our own Room. At night, we could relax in our own space, sleep well, and feel refreshed for sightseeing the next day. There were also two toilets, which made getting ready in the morning smooth. Both the Rooms and the water areas were kept very clean, and the amenities were well stocked. Since most essentials were provided, we were glad we could pack lighter as well. The bath was spacious and spotless. Soaking and unwinding after walking around Kyoto felt wonderful. There were plenty of plates, glasses, and cutlery too, so we could buy what we liked at a nearby supermarket and enjoy it leisurely in our Room—another great plus. The location was convenient for walking to sightseeing spots, and it was nice to be able to return to the Accommodation quickly when we got tired. If you want to fully enjoy sightseeing while also relaxing at your own pace at the Accommodation, this is a perfect place for an adult women’s trip to Kyoto. We would definitely like to stay here again when we visit Kyoto next time.

This is a wonderful Accommodation that blends beautifully into Kakunodate’s townscape. The staff were very kind and helped us in many situations throughout our stay. Thanks to them, we had a memorable and enjoyable trip. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much.

The dog run is very spacious and pleasant. As soon as we arrived, my dog happily ran around, and I felt glad to have chosen this accommodation. It's an environment where dogs can relax freely, which naturally puts owners at ease as well. The traditional Japanese house has a calm atmosphere, allowing for a very peaceful stay. We enjoyed experiences like making miso and koji, as well as roasting rice crackers over the irori hearth—much more fun than expected! Roasting rice crackers over the irori was surprisingly challenging; adjusting the heat while slowly roasting them was a fresh experience. However, the rice crackers I made myself were far more delicious than I imagined. For dinner, we had an irori kaiseki meal prepared by the staff while we relaxed by watching the fire—a leisurely dining experience without any rush that allowed us to savor every bite. At night, we spent time by the bonfire without doing much of anything in particular. Just watching my dog relax nearby filled me with contentment. This is an accommodation that naturally makes you think, "I want to come back again."

Our couple in our 50s stayed for one night with our child’s couple in their 20s and our dog. The Room was spacious and pleasantly nostalgic, with a well-equipped kitchen, and the bathroom and toilet were spotlessly clean. The amenities were comparable to a Hotel. The staff were courteous, and we were able to relax completely. Since this Accommodation has no TV, it’s perfect for a digital detox! We wanted to do so many things—fireworks, stargazing, calligraphy—but ran out of time and left wishing we could have done more. This is an Accommodation meant for enjoying your time on-site. The stairs are quite steep, with the bedroom on the second floor and only one toilet on the first floor, which felt a bit risky for elderly guests or those with small children—so we rated only the Facility/equipment category as 4.

The irori sauna was the best sauna I’ve ever experienced. The sushi for dinner was also very delicious. This is an Accommodation I’d love to visit again if I have the chance.

On the way back from Kinosaki Onsen, I stayed overnight as I am not comfortable driving at night. The Hotel seems new and clean. It is convenient with a roadside station and a convenience store nearby. The room appears to have a foreign-style design, with hangers placed at a high position. It might be slightly inconvenient for shorter individuals. Overall, it was a comfortable Hotel to stay in.

We stayed here to celebrate a special anniversary, and it turned out to be an even more wonderful stay than we expected. The warm, attentive hospitality from the proprietress and all the staff made us feel truly welcomed. The Room was exceptionally clean and well maintained, so we could relax in complete comfort. Each private bath had its own charm, and we were able to fully enjoy the Onsen at our leisure. Both dinner and breakfast were extremely satisfying. Dinner offered a wide variety of dishes—everything from meat and fresh sashimi to richly flavored vegetables was outstanding. Breakfast also featured local ingredients, with gentle seasoning that suited our tastes perfectly. Since it was our anniversary, we requested a surprise cake, and they kindly accommodated us, making this an unforgettable trip. We would love to return again in a different season. Thank you so very much.

Our children were delighted, and we had a wonderful time. We really appreciated the Room upgrade, and when our siblings argued over the amenities, the front desk staff responded flexibly and helpfully. We would love to stay again. Thank you very much.
