We stayed in a detached Room (no open-air bath). It was great that all five of us could stay together in one Room. It didn’t have an open-air bath, but since we were staying with coworkers, the large public bath was more than enough. Going up the stairs from the lobby (lounge), the detached Rooms and baths are lined up, creating a charming atmosphere. Many of the staff were from overseas and provided multilingual support, giving the impression that they are well prepared for international guests. There were also many international guests.

Conveniently located between JR Station and the Otaru Canal, about a 10-minute walk to either. The Room isn’t large, but it’s comfortable enough. The refrigerator is on the small side. The large public bath and open-air bath were great with well-stocked amenities, but bath towels and hand towels are not provided there, so bring them from your Room or request extras at the front desk. The breakfast buffet is delicious, with each item carefully prepared. Reasonably priced and great value for money.

The staff’s warm hospitality is wonderful. Although it’s a place that can be difficult to visit, this Accommodation makes you want to come back again.

As the name “Accommodation with a Large Open-Air Bath” suggests, it’s wonderful that there are multiple spacious, open-air baths with a great sense of openness. There are also plenty of washing stations, so I could enjoy the hot water freely without worrying about other guests. I was also surprised that each of the four free private baths is as large as, or even larger than, a typical open-air bath. The morning bath starts at 6:00, but Onsen lovers would be even happier if it opened a little earlier. The Room shows its age to some extent, but it was well cleaned and comfortable. The meals were just the right amount—not too much or too little—and the breakfast rice porridge was especially good. When I mentioned that the lighting during dinner was glaring because it shone directly on me, they responded immediately; they also kindly explained details about the return bus service—overall, the staff’s hospitality was excellent. Although access by public transportation is somewhat limited, this is an Accommodation I would definitely like to stay at again if I have another chance to visit Kumano.

We stayed for two nights as a couple. Dinner was served in the Room. The meals, including Omi beef, fish and vegetables from Shiga, and local sake, were all delicious. It is conveniently located near historical sites such as Hikone Castle, Omihachiman, Nagahama City, and Chikubu Island, making sightseeing enjoyable. We would love to visit again if we have the chance.

Stayed on the day of travel from Haneda to Naha I was able to use it with a very affordable plan The bed was very large and comfortable, and the sofa was also bed-like, providing a spacious and cost-effective recommended hotel The location is very convenient with a convenience store and supermarket nearby! I enjoyed spending time at the supermarket, exploring local Okinawan food and small souvenirs I am very satisfied with the stay that exceeded the price I would like to use it again

I stayed one night with No Meals Included. Namba Station is nearby, and above all, the price is very reasonable. With older Ryokan or Business Hotels, I sometimes have issues with the shower water temperature or pressure, but this time there were no problems at all—it was very comfortable. I’d like to stay again if I have the chance. Thank you very much.

I stayed here after a concert. They kindly stored my luggage before the concert, which was very helpful. I was also happy to enjoy the complimentary drinks in the lobby at that time. The Room was clean, and I especially liked the shower head in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and I slept well, and all of the staff were kind, so I would like to stay here again.

I had a very relaxing stay. The parking lot is spacious and easy to use. The Room was clean, and the ocean-view Room was wonderful. Breakfast was also great.

We always have an enjoyable stay. This time, we enjoyed the steak course with dinner included. We will stay again. Thank you for your hospitality. Thank you very much.

It was amazing. As others have mentioned, the meals were plentiful and included fresh sashimi platters and large tagged crabs, with a wide variety of delicious dishes that left us impressed. The accommodation, including the rooms, was clean and beautifully designed with a warm wooden atmosphere. The onsen warmed us to the core and kept us feeling cozy even after getting out. We’ve searched for delicious crab in many places, but Showakan was truly the best accommodation we’ve experienced.

Within walking distance of Omihachiman Station. Since I checked in after dark, I couldn’t tell at first, but in the morning I was reminded how convenient the location is. The Room was comfortable, and the bath was the best part. It was well maintained, and I could pleasantly relax and recover from travel fatigue.

After arriving at the Accommodation and taking a short break, we headed to the spacious open-air Onsen. Other guests were already there and said the water was amazing—like a beauty serum. After trying it ourselves, we completely agreed. The silky-smooth water felt incredibly soothing. The cave bath seemed even more moisturizing, making it an Onsen you could stay in forever. Not only was the large public bath wonderful, but the in-Room bath was also beautifully made of stone. I can’t even count how many times we used it during our stay. The meals were also delicious, and we were very satisfied. We also really enjoyed sightseeing at Kikuchi Castle Ruins, Yamaga’s Sakura-yu, and Kikuchi Gorge.

I stayed here to visit Matsumoto Castle the next morning. It was closer than I expected, and it was very convenient that I could keep my car parked there even after checkout. The breakfast bread was also delicious.

I went in the morning to leave my luggage, but no one was there and I couldn’t reach anyone, which was disappointing. However, the on-site service was clear and helpful. The Room was clean and comfortable. I would like to stay again if I have the opportunity.

I use this place for both personal and business trips. There are no convenience stores or supermarkets nearby, so I recommend buying what you need before check-in. This time they had a new bento option, so I tried the beef pilaf instead of the usual chicken—both are equally delicious. I’d definitely like to stay here again if I have the chance.

Each private villa Room luxuriously features both an indoor Onsen bath with free-flowing spring water and an open-air bath. Some Rooms even have a pond, where you can feed the koi and enjoy a truly special escape from everyday life. Another highlight is the craftsmanship throughout each villa Room—every fitting and light fixture remains beautiful as a work of art, even with the passage of time. You’ll also be soothed by seasonal flowers and the songs of birds in every season. For dining, we made a Reservation in advance and walked about 10 minutes to an Italian restaurant (Antica Trattoria Dal Pirata). It was excellent, so we highly recommend it as well.

I stayed here on vacation with my dog. We were guided in through the back entrance, which helped us avoid running into other guests’ dogs and made our stay comfortable. I missed booking meals, but for dinner we were able to try whale dishes at a local restaurant in town. There are many sightseeing spots nearby, so it’s a great place not only to relax but also as a convenient base for driving out and exploring.

Although I thought it was a bit pricey, I stayed here because I was drawn to its overseas-like atmosphere. The Hotel’s service and amenities were high quality, and I was very satisfied!! It was a little disappointing that there weren’t any sightseeing spots within walking distance nearby, but I was able to relax and take it easy with the lovely Room and the view. I’d definitely like to visit again.

After touring the Komoro Distillery, we walked from Komoro Station to this Ryokan. The website said it was a 20-minute walk, but it took us about 30 minutes. We took a taxi on the way back. At the front desk, we were served plum soda and then shown to our Room. This time we stayed in a Room with a private indoor Onsen bath. It was a bit old, but very clean and well maintained. There is also a large public bath, but it is up quite a steep stone staircase, and my husband said it would be safer to use the bath in our Room instead—so we did. The Onsen left our skin feeling wonderfully smooth. I have had dinner at many Ryokan over the years, but every dish here was truly delicious. You could call it creative Japanese cuisine—both the presentation and flavors were excellent. They served salt-grilled ayu (sweetfish). I usually give ayu to my husband because of all the bones, but they told us you can even eat the bones in the head here, so I tried it for the first time—and really didn’t notice any bones at all. Because the food was so good, we also enjoyed it with their sake tasting set. Having an in-room bath meant we could enjoy it whenever we liked, which was wonderful. Breakfast included barley rice with grated yam (mugi-toro), grilled fish, ginger-flavored Onsen egg, and many other dishes—we enjoyed everything. A taxi to Komoro Station costs 1,000 yen, which is much better than walking for 30 minutes. It made me want to visit Komoro again next time as well.
